I cannot wait for this movie to come out. My brothers and I will be there on opening weekend taking in every freaking second of this movie. I love Batman and I enjoy Nolan's style of directing and storytelling. By the way, I am not a "Nolanite". :)

BB had some good fighting scenes. They were just edited so bad that they weren't they great to follow. watch the fight in the behind the scenes on the blu-ray and they are good.

It amazes me how criticizing anything related to this movie makes you a Marvel tard or Whedonite or Marvelit or whatever it is. Let people criticize movies in peace.
Now, an entire hour of action sounds good but it is hard to shoot an hour of action whithout making it boring when you only have regular people doing stuff. But I like the action in the previous films.

Yeah that video proved my point that BB has great fighting scenes, but they were just edited so wrong.

All off Nolan chase scenes are great to watch.

he shoots great chases! but his action scenes are not too good.Batman should be able to fight like Tony Jaa,Jackie Chan,Jet Li,Jason Statham and Guy from The Raid! i just hope the Bane vs. Batman turns out good and shot too close i want to see what the [frick] they are doing!

but to be fair some of the fight in TDKR trailers are looking pretty good.

Its not going to be an hour long action scenes. They're simply adding more action scenes to the story. And the scenes are 1 hour long in total

Sounds great I guess. I would prefer that the action scenes are more like Inception than BB or TDK. His filming/editing of the fight scenes were absolutely terrible in BB, one of the only complaints I have with that movie. That was improved in TDK, but still not very good. Again, one of the few gripes I had with that movie.

Nolan's fight/action scenes were vastly improved in Inception, so hopefully the fights in this are closer to that.

Damn. That was a good one @SetGecko.

Yeah. Because The Joker has never put a beat-down on a mentally "broken" Batman before.

The last one says 100 minutes, that's an hour and 40 minutes....

So over half the movie is action scenes..
