Review of The Dark Knight Rises

Rating: 7/10 (22 July 2012)

Christopher Nolan knows how to develop complex characters, write an intriguing plot, and create that 'wow' factor. Some people, like a certain friend of mine, have a real hard on for this guy (he saw The Dark Knight 10 times in the theatre). For me I look at him as being a fair director. The Dark Knight Rises is a fair, above average, movie. I would give it a second viewing though probably not in the theatre. The movie had a few slow parts that had me looking at my watch and a predictable ending that had me satisfied like a nice Christmas turkey dinner. I would of course recommend it to any friend to see the conclusion of an acceptable trilogy.
What had me thrilled more than the movie was the trailer for the new Man of Steel movie. This to me looks like a possible movie of the summer next year and I can't wait to see the greatest super hero on the screen once more in a reworked starting to the superman franchise.
