If you really want a sense of how great or good The Dark Knight Rises plays, you need to hear from somebody like me — some non-vested, geek-despising cool customer who stands alone. Or someone like Andrew O’Hehir or Anthony Lane. Anyone who got into yesterday’s screening was/is almost certainly too heavily immersed and invested to be trusted. You need to hear from someone who doesn’t give a rat’s ass and is completely ready to take a dump on the floor if the situation warrants. But who is also ready to be fair and straight.
