Okay, I saw it at a nice, large theater with digital projector, but not IMAX. Perhaps with IMAX they went over the top with the sound effects or they toned it down because I saw it just last Sunday and understood all the dialogue.
I thought the movie was fantastic. The classic male hero tale with the hero stripped of everything, and I mean, everything. He loses his strength, health, wealth, dignity, heck, even his memory of love from Tom C's Ex's replacement. Then this broken husk of a cripple rises from the ashes of his despair with a vengeance. I would like to know how he recovered from that arthritis though.
Catwoman was good, though predictable. Now is it just me? Or did they imply she was a switch hitter?
The big surprises stunned me at the end. I tend to get lost in movies and try enjoy the ride without too much critical thought, so I was bamboozled.
Of course, Marion Cotillard was a real treat.
We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
