TDKR - Εντυπώσεις απο την πρώτη προβολή




















Χθες έγινε η πρώτη δημοσιογραφική προβολή της πιο αναμενόμενης ταινίας του αιώνα. Με το που έπεσαν οι τίτλοι τέλους όλοι οι παρευρισκόμενοι σηκώθηκαν απο τις θέσεις τους και χειροκροτούσαν με ενθουσιασμό, ενώ μερικοί δεν μπορούσαν να συγκρατήσουν τα δάκρυα τους (γιατί άραγε;). Παρακάτω μπορείς να διαβάσεις τους πρώτους σχολιασμούς (χωρίς spoilers) που δημοσιεύθηκαν στο διαδίκτυο, 13 μέρες πριν την επίσημη εξοδο της ταινίας στην Αμερική και 44 πριν έρθει επιτέλους και στην χώρα μας.

- THE DARK KNIGHT RISES TEST SCREENING RECEIVES A STANDING OVATION.

-  As far as audience reaction, there were only 40-50 ppl in attendance (mostly critics), but there was applause and I leaned over and shook Michael Uslan's hand and congratulated him when his name appeared in the credits. I, myself, cried twice...once out of sadness and once out of pure geeky uncontrollable happiness.

- HOLY MOLEY DEPUTY COMMISSIONER FOLEY, this is a great film. It's not a summer blockbuster by any means, and yet, it totally is (if that makes sense). The biggest question everyone asks: "is it better than TDK?" and I'll answer that by saying it's really different. Everything's different. The characters are different (even Bruce at first), the tone is different, and the story is different. But everything is BIGGER and, in my eyes, better. I love the Joker as much as anyone else (my favorite villain in any medium) but Bane's plan is more creative, better executed, and a little more fun to watch as it all unfold.

- Just finished the screening of Dark Knight Rises…so much awesome…can’t wait to see it again. And again.To your original question – there are things I criticize in every film, but this one measures high on many measures. There will be some surprises but not big ones, the beauty of the film is how well it tells the story. Tom Hardy was incredible as Bane, the storyline was fantastic. I think the Joker is far more iconic than Bane, with more memorable quotes, but this story was great, including Bane’s origin. Godfather 3 never happened. Xmen 3 & Spider-Man 3 were awful, this film was the perfect final chapter in the trilogy.

- I think Bale gives his best performance as Batman and as Bruce Wayne in this one. He was terrific. And I especially loved his bat voice this time around…I really enjoyed [Neeson's] part in the movie. It shows both his villain side and his fatherly figure to Bruce side… [Bane is] very intimidating, more so than Darth Vader ever was IMO.Because you can see his eyes...

- I would be remiss if I did not touch on what Nolan seems to have perfected – the villain. Bane is this installment’s chaos. He is played by Tom Hardy who is (yes, you guessed it) a supporting actor in Inception. The brilliance of the direction of these films is how lost you get in the villain’s soul. You lose track of the fact that an A-list actor is on screen. You are completely immersed in their portrayal as an ordered society’s tainted medicine. If you thought The Dark Knight introduced us to a dystopia, just wait until you watch this movie. We learn that it is not only Bruce Wayne and Batman that are rotting from the inside out, but an entire society. You will see urbanites at their most wretched, and in their prime. The chaos wrought unto Gotham City by the Joker was merely the beginning. And Nolan manages to convey this wild ride into 165 minutes of his best work.

- The Dark Knight Rises is not only easily the best Batman movie yet, but now one of my favorite movies I’ve ever seen. It was unbelievable!

- If this does not break the mold and win Best Picture, no comic book movie ever will.

- Now I understand why Nolan is walking away. With a two punch combo like TDK/TDKR, the fight’s over. Knockout.
