The Dark Knight Rises: What Fans Had To Say About Their Prologue Experience

The Dark Knight Rises by Christopher Nolan left fans at the edge of their seats after a sneak preview of the new final installation of The Dark Knight Trilogy last December. This superhero film stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The Dark Knight Rises is coming to the big screen this summer which will be produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Legendary Pictures and DC Entertainment.

Here is what they had to say about their six minute experience of The Dark Knight Rises movie:

“NEW YORK — Fans came out in droves Wednesday for a chance to take an early look at the first six minutes of Christopher Nolan’s final Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises.”
The prologue screened as a part of a viral marketing campaign, which involved fans reading through “leaked” CIA documents and finding coordinates for cities around the world. When all the pieces fell into place, a secret website, OperationEarlyBird.com, revealed the locations and times for prologue screenings.

A line formed early outside the AMC Loews Lincoln 13 on the Upper West Side, and the excitement was palpable. The anticipation only grew as fans filed into the IMAX theater to await the six-minute preview. Once the preview ended, the crowd applauded and demanded a second viewing, to no avail.

Outside the theater, the most common reaction to the footage was jubilation, but some fans expressed reservations about Tom Hardy’s voice as Bane .

“I thought it was really good,” Tom Dichiara told MTV News. “It was a lot of action, good opening sequence. You can’t really understand a whole lot of what Bane says, though.”

“The action was crazy,” Brian Sansone said. “They did sh– in ‘The Dark Knight’ that I had never seen before, and they blew me away again. A lot more action-packed, just as intricate, just as crazy. If the rest of the movie is like that, they got my money.”

“I loved it. Christopher Nolan just did an ingenious scene, a great action scene, something that will have your jaw drop. It was pretty amazing just watching it on the screen, saying, ‘I never thought that would be possible,’ ” said Tyler Rice, who liked Bane’s voice but struggled to understand it as well. “Bane’s voice sounded awesome, but you can’t understand what he’s saying. He had about two clear lines you can hear what he’s saying. Otherwise, it just sounded like awesome gibberish. It kind of sounds like Buffalo Bill [from 'Silence of the Lambs'].”
