I'm really looking forward to this movie. I am wondering if they will tie anything in with the current tv series. I still watch the series and still really really like it.

Ok, well I saw it this weekend. I'm not sure how to explain it. When dealing with time traveling factors it really messes with ones head. I was hoping they would spend a bit more time dealing with the period directly after Judgement Day started. I have mixed feelings about the movie so over all I can only give it a C+. Or to put it in perspective, I liked the Wolverine movie just a bit better.

I liked it quite a bit, I have seen the other movies but didn't go in with any expectations of what material would be covered in the movie, and I ended up loving it.

The only complaint I have about the movie is Bale grumbling the whole fucking film like he did in Batman. I mean, there was a reason for it in Batman, but what the hell could possibly be the reason here, is it some kind of special technique to stop people from noticing that he isn't as good of an actor as he thinks he is?

A better supporting cast.

Haha yeah. I was grateful he wasn't really the main character as far as on screen time went. The rest of the cast was good.

Did he even need to do it in Batman? If I'm suspending reality for all the other crap in there (cell phone sonar wtf??) I think I can go out on a limb and believe that a mask is all that's required to conceal his identity. Shit, Superman doesn't even have a mask and nobody recognizes him without glasses! I don't know it just seems like an unnecessary bit of 'realism' injected into something which is completely silly in the first place.

this movie was god fucking awful. i gotta give it credit though-- you aren't sure if it sucks or not during the first half, but the second half leaves no doubt. if you are thinking about seeing it, give me 7.50 instead and then I will slam your dick in a car door

This movie is what I expect out of this franchise nowadays, I really only liked 1-2 and not much else has impressed me including the tv show.
