I watched the TDKR prologue on friday night. I was alright.
The main reason I went to MI:4 was to see it. And I walked out of the movie thinking about how much I liked MI:4. I had completely forgot about the TDKR . My friend who's also a huge Nolan fan felt the same way. After the 6 mins ended we whispered to each other almost word for word "that wasn't as good as the joker prologue in TDK."
I truly and honestly did not understand ANYTHING Bane said. And I read the spoiler transcript! My girlfriend understood him more than me.
The acting was pretty bad. Like as if someone from the CIA would be yelling. "Hi. I'm CIA!" The whole good/bad cop hanging the prisoners out the window thing was lame. Even if I was the prisoner I'd be laughing under the sheet at the 'CIA' agents lame attempt at scaring me. Bane doing that whole blood transfusion thing seemed so awkward and clumsy.
I don't know, the whole thing felt rushed and unpolished compared to the bank heist in TDK. The track 'Why so serious' worked so well during that. The lighting, editing was top notch. Also the scene where joker kills the bus driver is way cooler than anything Bane did as he mumbled and clumsily climbed over the seats.
I just felt like I saw this kind of action scene before with 'SkyHook' in TDK and other movies like Executive Decision, Dropzone etc to name a couple. I thought I'd be blown away but it just a random seen from Inception2.
I did like the Montage at the end though. And I LOVE trailer#2.
