DKR's tone is far more closely shared with BB, the odyssean travails (God I sound like a twat) and grand scale of action clearly separate from the world we know. I'm too tir More

he says it's spoiler free at the beginning, so should be ok! I saw the film earlier actually and it was awesome. More

Spoilers?
Is there any form of spoilers about TDKR in this, even the tiniest type? Or should I wait until I see it on Tuesday?! More
