LOL,  I wish i hadn't went on as much about how good it was. I was there the first time with her brother and my father-in-law while my wife baby sitted. Now i 'll get the chance to get to see it again. I think it will still be good, even though i know what happens.

Just think of all the stuff you would have missed first time round.

Another chance to hear some really big explosions, people getting blown up, criminals on the loose everywhere and people jumping off buildings as if they've drunk too much Red Bull,or is that me thinking of a normal Saturday night out in Kilmarnock???  Wink

I'm actually looking forward to seeing it again.

RE: The Dark Knight Rises - Brilliant film!!!

I really enjoyed the film but the cinema really screwed the experience up for us.  The sound was up way too loud, enough for it to be uncomfortable at times (and I like films loud!) and the air conditioning was broken so the auditorium was really warm.

I'm looking forward to watching it again on my gear when it comes out on Blu-ray.

I'm beginning to worry.

Are "The Nolans" Batman's next arch enemy???

Are they related to the current director and are already signed up for the next installment......... " The Dark Knight is In The Mood For Dancing" ????  party time!

RE: The Dark Knight Rises - Brilliant film!!!

We went to 'Dickens World', Chatham to see it last night. I thought it was great, my only complaint would be that there was no sense of time passing in the latter part of the film, but it's a small gripe.

Some quality trailers too. 'Looper' looks really good.
