the point is, that stuff doesn't really look exciting to me in the trailer, it just looks like a bunch of extras running and yelling

i don't disagree. just seems like an inevitable (and inevitably small, in this case) piece of any city-under-siege superhero movie.

actually from what i understand half the movie is people screaming in the streets in daylight and then bane kills batman and the second half is JGL crying

did not dig the trailer shown before prometheus at all. movie looks boring, bane looks/seems superboring

yeah tbh i am not encouraged by the Bane thing at all. my personal policy is 'avoid trailers, and if you must watch them don't put too much stock in them good or bad,' but i realize i'm always gonna be a minority in that belief.

SPOILERS
Rutger Hauer's ousted character from the previous films returns with the support of a large venture capital firm that has been buying interest in Wayne Enterprises in the years since the last film. Bruce Wayne, who has been largely been pretending to be a figurehead and philanthropist while leaving the day-to-day operations to Lucius Fox who has proven to be more science- than business-minded. The early movie Gotham intrigue is a Robin Hood-type cat burglar who is brazen enough to approach Wayne himself.
Bane then attacks the city, after being rescued by a shadowy organization in the movie's intro and told that the time he's been trained for has come. His assault on Gotham, oddly enough, uses a number of Wayne scientific advances and gear, including the tumbler (batmobile) and body armor. Because the shadowy organization was really Bane Capital -- just kidding, it was Ra's al Ghul's organization. Ra's al Ghul's daughter, Talia, has been undercover and posing as a fellow philanthropist. She delivers Wayne to Bane. Catwoman knew something about Bane or Ra's al Ghul but didn't take it seriously enough
Second act is Batman/Wayne in the prison Bane was raised/trained in and JGL trying to figure out what happened to Batman and eventually raising a citizen army to hold the city together, after teaming up with Catwoman. Third act is Batman rising from the depths of the prison and joining up with the forces to take back Gotham.
I estimate this is about 5% accurate.

I got the impression the first round of reviews is only from critics who went on the junket, and the actual showings for critics happen tomorrow or so?

TIME's Richard Corliss, meaning every word:
"The Avengers" is kid stuff compared with this meditation on mortal loss and heroic frailty. For once a melodrama with pulp origins convinces viewers that it can be the modern equivalent to Greek myths or a Jonathan Swift satire.

That screencap reminds me how awful the CGI looks in that football scene. I mean, the efx have been generally pretty good in this franchise so far, which makes that clip in the trailers stand out even more.
