This is not my full post on The Dark Knight Rises, just some comments right after having seen it. I might need to see it again before posting my full thoughts.
Not sure if this is a common issue that people are having in the theaters, but the sound was really messed up with the showing I saw. Either the sound mixing and editing was the worst I have ever heard on a movie, or the audio was being played on the wrong setting. I missed quite a bit of the dialogue because it was inaudible over the backing music. I am willing to see it again, but I have never been this angry over the audio for a movie. I am trying to not let it alter my opinion of the movie, but I have to agree with my girlfriend that it is truly impossible to really know how I feel about the movie without having heard the dialogue completely.
I will say that I enjoyed the movie as a whole. It was actually quite close to what I imagined it would be, now I don't mean that as something negative. I read a lot up on the comic books, and I did a lot of thinking about what would happen in the movie, and I liked what they included in the movie. I did think that some of the performances left something to be desired, but can anyone live up to Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight?
