The Dark Knight Rises might be spectacular to look at... but it's humourless and too long

Sounds like another "can't miss" movie does not deliver, Prometheus being the first.

Prometheus may be the biggest flop of the year. It is soaked with incoherence and stupidity. Where to start?

I'm a big fan of the franchise, but from what I've seen from trailers so far, I'm prepared to be mightily disappointed.
I have heard that they adjusted sound levels but, at least initially, my sense was that the villain (Bane) -- who wears a breathing apparatus -- basically delivered his lines in a sort of "mffphh gwarghh bwehhjj nsssdwernm lmnubdw" kind of way.

Well, if his main complaint is length, that is a positive for me. I LIKE long movies, if they use the time well, that is.

On a side note, has anyone seen Red Tails. I own the original HBO movie, and though it’s ok, it comes off a bit like a TV movie and superficial. I saw previews to RT and it “looked” amazing. But then, so do the last Star Wars movies in trailers.

I won’t hold my breath waiting for the next Brit blockbuster to come out. The hapless Brits and other Europeans are consuming U.S. TV and film voraciously, while continuing to criticize American life. They also complain about how much more an iphone costs over there. Well, produce something then, you statist scum! Go back to your little bungalow, turn on Dancing With The Stars, and shut up!

Dark Knight was too long also, but it was packed with action and suspense.

Another Batman flick? Just my two cents but I’m old enough to have seen Ben-Hur during its theatrical release and movies based on comic books, video games or Disneyland rides don’t do a lot for me. No offense to those who enjoy them.

I enjoyed Waterworld and The postman. They are stupid, but in a fun way. Or are they fun in a stupid way? One or the other - or maybe both...
The only “high profile” movie that I ever saw that was just too bad to watch, even for me, was “Ishtar”. Fortunately the damage done attempting to claw my own eyes out was only temporary.

I saw it-—ok, but somewhat predictable-—the “maverick” who has to be brought into the fold, the racist whites who come to see how valuable the black pilots are. Someone made the point that any movie that doesn’t show smoking should be discounted immediately. But I did like the shots of the Me-362s.

you mean 262’s. ;-)
Yeah, I’m a fanatic on world war II aircraft and it’s one of the reasons I wanted to get this movie. However, I learned from the last star wars movies that great special effects are not enough to make a movie enjoyable for more than one viewing. Eye candy is nice, but I need a good story told well. Looks like if I buy this one I nee...Heck with it. I’ll rent it on BlueRay at Redbox for $1.50.
