Yeah I know
I stopped reading them and read the comment sections instead to see how LOL worthy the critics are supposed to be. I can resist the temptation of reading them I just read the summation of the critics post (generally the first couple of paragrpahs) to see if they loved or hated the move and what the actors are like.

The Dark Knight Rises - WillDaSnail - 2012-07-20
Just got back from watching the midnight premiere.
All I have to say is (without spoiling all of the content)....
That movie was very, very well done. The movie delivered beyond my expectations, and had a lot of plot twists and turns (plus a few mind blowing moments).
I also noted the various uses of both historical and modern themes (quite a few times, they were used side by side with each other), great uses of symbolism, the extensive use of oppression (theme) as a driving force starting in the middle of the movie and persisting through the climax. And a few biblical themes thrown in there too (notably...the usage of rebirth as a motif/theme).
Will likely deserve to be the biggest movie release of the year.
tl;dr - The Dark Knight Rises is definitely worth spending 3 hours watching it in its entirely.
Also....(spoiler alert)
Edit: Woops
The Dark Knight Rises - GMSInfighter - 2012-07-20
Incredible movie. No matter how hyped up Christopher Nolan flicks can get, they still deliver and that's what makes them completely stunning. I agree with Will in that I really loved all the historical and modern themes kind of blending into the story. I'm super happy to see that it tied in with the first movie way more than it did the second movie (Such as not trailing on and on about Harvey Dent or something)... Be prepared and watch the first two movies if you haven't already, the movie is ultimately more enjoyable that way I can presume.
[SPOILER=Literally, spoiler. Don't open unless you've seen ALL of the movie.]For those of you that have seen it, which theory do you think reigns supreme as Nolan clearly left it open on whether or not Batman met his fate or lives on? He either fixed the auto-pilot and used it effectively by plummeting into the bay before the bomb reached the location of detonation and Alfred did indeed see him and his new life at Florence or it alludes back to when Alfred would talk about how he would always have this "dream" or "illusion" by seeing Bruce sitting there with a family and he liked to picture this because it made him happy and Alfred didn't in fact see a real Bruce but just a mere illusion to keep hope alive in Alfreds heart...
The Dark Knight Rises - FrozNlite - 2012-07-20
Fun movie, yes, but I liked The Dark Knight better, as I left that theatre doubting myself and humanity, and this theatre going "yay booms and close calls!" But hey, the Manhattan scenes were super cool to see.

Is it bad that I've never seen a Batman movie and never got in to the whole Batman movie world?
I have seen the original TV series with Adam West though.
The Dark Knight Rises - Sn1perJohnE - 2012-07-20
Awesome movie was awesome. I don't quite think it will do better than avengers purely on the amounts of non action scenes. My main gripe that I can remember having, was Banes voice being "everywhere" rather than it coming from where he was on the screen. This is most likely from the reworking to make him more understandable, though.
Sucks to hear about what happened in Colorado.

Ok. Mistake seen and fixed. "Woops" moment on my part.
Then again, I'm very sure that publicly humiliating me over and over a "woops" moment really helps the situation. (not)

-raises hand-
Even though I didn't watch the previous Batman movies, I still managed to get a grasp of what was going on. Though, I wished I watched the previous movies so I would understand more about the events in TDKR

All in all, I think it was more rushed than the first two, and had a much weaker climax and ending to it. Was a bit slow going in the beginning, too. I still very thoroughly enjoyed it, though.

Probably, autopilot. He most likely set it to auto-pilot when the plane dipped before going over the tall building. Leaving us a picture of the plane going over the water. What disappointed me from the ending was that they showed Bruce. I wanted so much for Alfred to look up and smile and it immediately cuts to the blackness.
Offtopic: Did you guys hear about the shooting at a DKR premiere in Colorado? pineappleing pieces of pomegranate...

Was really amazing, but I liked the Joker more than Bane.

I think a cut like that would remind people too much about Inception and would heavily detract from an already highly scrutinized film.
The Dark Knight Rises - Retalion - 2012-07-20
Was thinking about a Dark Knight Rises marathon (basically, head to the theatre at 6:40, watch first two, then the 3rd one at the midnight opening), till I figured out it was Thursday night and not Friday night, which meant I had to be in class at 10:30 am the next day. Oh well, will be watching it on Monday. Now to somehow avoid all the spoilers before then...

Care to explain your point?
And by the way, Nolan said that he was open to making a 4th movie, but wasn't sure because it was supposed to be a trilogy.
