Saw the prologue today attached to MI in Manchester UK. Screening was delayed because something was up with the sound system, ended up working at the last minute, but right before it did a awesome manager said for the inconvenience everyone would get a free pass for any film! =D funny too, he asked out of interest who was here mainly for the prologue and a good scatter of hands went up! "I like ur enthusiasm" he said =D
MI itself was very good, the IMAX shots wer jawdropping, especially the skyscraper part. Interesting to see how Nolan tries to top that for wow factor!
I had watched a terrible bootleg a week ago, so the impact was lessened, but it allowed me to absorb more. Only negative thing I could find was something felt abit awkward about some parts of it, but now I think about it, the plane was in a fair state of turbulence so that makes sence lol. I do think the "for you" line needs tweeking to flow better.
Overall, was engrossing, jawdropping, and fun. Why are people ragging on the likeness to skyhook? Was obv ment to mirror it. Sizzle reel at the end was a killer. Stunned silence filled the audience until afew people, including me, broke it will a "Jesus", "woah", or the most popular (which I also did) was the laugh of disbelief after the broken mask was dropped.
Maybe its cos im Scottish, maybe its cos I knew beforehand what his lines wer, but
I understood 99.9% of what Bane said. All that evaded me was the line about fear. The music peeks at that point and was overpowered. Asked my gf after, she understood all but that too. I really don't get the dislike for his voice.
It dragged me in and MADE ME LISTEN! Its also so refreshing/different/unique that it, and he, becomes something else entirety (no pun intended). I'm not quite hearing any Latin infections.
For anyone who can't understand it at this moment in time,
I recommend the following - log into Amazon & order a Sean Connery boxset, Die Hard 3 (for Iron's voice), Lost (Desmond, brotha), and I suppose Star Wars. That, or a hearing test
