so we were supposed to see a trailer aswell?

The way I hear it is.

70MM IMAX (Or whatever the film is) Gets the prologue with MI4.

DIGITAL IMAX Gets the theatrical trailer with MI4

Sherlock Holmes gets the theatrical trailer everywhere.

And I'm not sure about IMAX Sherlock Holmes.

But if a theater played the teaser than that sucks lol. Because I don't believe that was suppose to play anywhere.
 
Seeing the trailer as a bootleg, and then seeing it for real on the big screen before Sherlock Holmes tonight, was like apples and oranges. "Apples and oranges" doesn't even properly describe it because they're both fruit and that implies similarity ... It was like apples and rusty nails.

Seriously, this trailer is incredible. And to top it off, my theater got bland, bloated, over-budgeted trailers for Battleship, John Carter, Men In Black 3, Jack the Giant Killer ... and then TDKR. The audience went ballistic. The applause was actually deafening.

2012 (and beyond), for me, isn't looking so hot, aside from TDKR. This is the movie event of the year, hell, maybe the decade. That's the distinct impression I got from my audience. My theater seemed like, "Awwwww ****, Batman. THAT'S the one to see!!!"

Every movie being released looks bloated and similar, and it's all morphed together into one big ******ed movie. John Carter looks like Avatar with green people instead of blue people. Battleship looks likes Transformers.

I think the audience was reminded (and I was refreshed to see that they knew) that Christopher Nolan is a rarity in this era of filmmaking, and we are not taking him for granted. I am so grateful for this director. I am a die-hard Nolan fanboy. I am not ashamed. I am not embarrassed. I don't care what anyone ever says. This is my guy.

My theater was just stunned, and my idiot brother stopped me from applauding (the bastard!!:argh:) but Rocketman, those are my thoughts EXACTLY. Well said sir.

Wholeheartedly agree. Like every other director, Nolan has his flaws, but above all else, the man knows how to deliver a top-notch film experience. Aside from the fact that he is revolutionizing the IMAX format (which used to only be used for documentaries and 3D animated films), his films now build hype like no other films do. People know you HAVE to see a Chris Nolan movie in the theater because it's just too ****ing awesome to miss.

At this point, there's no way that TDKR will be described as anything but amazing. I know, most of you guys know it, and even the haters know it.
 
In b4 "You guys are making up theater reactions to hype the movie."

But seriously, it's great that the audience enjoyed it. And while the most recent bootleg is the best we've had, I cannot wait to see everything in HD glory.
 
I was about to go tonight but changed my mind at the last second. Now I regret it lol.
 
I'm not trying to start a war of words here, but it goes without saying that there is much more hype surrounding the trailer for the TDKR trailer (and the movie itself) than there was for the trailer for The Avengers (and that movie itself), the latter containing several popular superheroes and the former containing only ONE.

Batman over everything.
 
Did the new Avengers trailer even come out yet? I thought there was one going to be on Disney or something?? I've been caught up here for so many days I have lost track of all other things.
 
At this point, I bet even Disney is surprised by how no one is responding to The Avengers. I say "responding", because in my personal experiences, I'll mention that movie to people I know (nerds), and they go, "Huh? What's Avengers?" And then I remind them and they go, "Oh. That's right." *shrugs* - It just seems incredibly generic. Plus, for a project that big and ambitious, they needed better people in charge of it. Plus, it feels like Iron Man 3. I don't know. I was expecting it to be one of my highlights of next year, and I'm debating whether I'll even see it in the theater.

ohhh come on. lol. I will mos def see it in theaters. I'm just not as hyped for it as I thought I would be. I really just wanna' see Loki and what The Ruffman does with Hulk.

Exactly. That's pretty much everyone.

Same with Spider-Man. I'm not jumping for joy for that either.

The Avengers trailer hasn't reached theaters. I think the Amazing Spider-man will have a full trailer soon.
 
I can't wait for the new Spidey flick. I'm really excited.
 
If this trailer doesn't get people pumped up, I don't know what will!
 
Managed to hunt down the bootleg, very different feel to the previous films. Begins trailers felt more superhero like, TDK felt more crime thriller like, Rises feels almost end of the world like, there's a real sense of foreboding here that I don't think we've seen before, there's genuine dread in this trailer. Can't wait for the Hd version.
 
I probably would have included a a few more money shots at the end of the trailer. I get that it's still in semi-teaser mode, but the beats of the editing make it feel like the title card appears too soon.

On the other hand, I like that the trailer favours the lure of atmosphere over action.
 
They'll be another (third) trailer in March.

Theatrical Trailer 2
 
I just hope we get something as good as the domino's trailer. That thing was EPIC.

What we fans have to realize though is that the more highbrow you try and make your movie, well, the chance is that you will lose some audience.

If the Avengers just goes for pure action over story, I dare say it may win the box office for the summer. Why? Because little kids and younger teens may prefer that to Nolan angst.

I don't think it's quite that cut and dry. All out action will appeal strongly to a certain demographic, but ultimately negates any cross over appeal like TDK had. Recent trends have suggested teens don't go to the movies nearly as much as they used to anyway.
