This movies definitely deserves a directors cut. Its so strange because at no point while watching the movie did i even realize how quick time had passed it felt to short to be a 2.30hrs.
I don't care if this movie would have went on for over 3:00 hours because it was after all the ending to a fantastic trilogy. I really hope Nolan releases a Directors cut for this.

I think The Joker proved its not important how or where you got the scars but how you scare the crap out of people after you got them. Why do people need so many questions answered in movies, just enjoy whats in front of you!

My TDKR Box office 2 cents:

The Dark Knight was in theaters from July 18th 2008 until March 1st 2009. 33 weeks in theaters, albeit a shrinking number of theaters showing said film, down to even 7 at one point, and then back up to 54, dropping from 4,366 screen at it's weekend debut.

TDKR could most certainly attain a box office of that caliber if allowed to exist until NEXT SPRING. And it still opened wider than any film, ever at the box office, with 4,404 screens.

They should have cut Modine's screen time in half and had more Bane and more Juno Temple. The training sequence would have happened during Talias reveal monologue and therefore would not have affected the element of the big mysterious bad guy showing up out of nowhere that worked so well in the beginning of the film. Honestly an extra shot of the mask in a. Early stage would have gone a long way cause I found it annoying they didn't explain it more, or the scars on his back for that matter, except to say he got jumped in prison. This would be rad as a bonus scene on the dvd

No.2 film my backside. Seen the Hunger Games, the Avengers (twice) and TDKR (twice) and TDKR cannot be compared with either of them. Avengers was just a money spinning mash up of average movies.

When is Nolan gonna stop playing games and give the nerds what they want. Epic four hour cuts of these movies. That being said, what TV network is going to spring on the badass epic cable mini-series telling some legendary comic book arc on HBO?

They had to cut the film because of IMAX projection constraints … I think that story about it being about 4 hours long in its first cut was true.

"We'd have to agree that it's certainly a bit more frightning (particularly if you're not up on your comic lore) for Bane to emerge as a massive, masked threat to Gotham, leaving his backstory a bit more ephemeral." His back story isn't 'ephemeral' (look that word up), it's just absent — one of many absences in the movie (which, by the way, I liked [certainly better than TDK, whose absences and lapses in logic are too many to count]). His motivations are incredibly nebulous, and this, rather than making him mysterious in a compelling way, just leaves us unable to grasp why he would go through all this trouble to destroy a entire city in such an esoteric, super complex, difficult way, why he hates Batman so damn much, etc. I wish Nolan had left that stuff in. All along we wait for some way to understand Bane's motivations, and it really never arrives (the Tahlia stuff was thin — not nearly enough to make sense of his whole grand scheme)

Couldn't Nolan string together a few tasty bits of footage from the cutting room floor and sequence it to some of Zimmer's score as a "sizzle reel" of outtakes for the Blu-ray? He could do the same for TDK, and we'd finally see the two deleted Ledger scenes (his getaway in the back of the cop car after the Dent fundraiser and his getaway in the school bus after blowing up the hospital). That way, we get to see this stuff in HQ, but it keeps the sanctity of the finished movie because it's part of a montage and not presented like a deleted scene to be inserted back into the movie.

The succes is so well-deserved. It's the most intelligent blockbuster film since… Inception?! Damn, can anybody else step up and make something both clever and action-packed besides Nolan? Looking forward to Rian Johnson's "Looper" and Sam Mendes' "Skyfall" now.
