Nolan is a genius. This movie not just lives up to the lofty expectations created by its predecessor but surpasses them.

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2012)

I booked tickets for the midnight screening of this movie on the day they came out. and the next month after that was an excruciating wait. I had never looked forward to a movie this much, not because im not a massive movie fan but because I could never truly have faith in any director being able to produce the masterpiece I would be expecting.
but with Christopher Nolan, I just knew i was going to receive something mind numbingly good, something I would remember for the rest of my life. I walked out of dark knight with a feeling of satisfaction but after watching the dark knight rises I felt something no other movie had provided me thus far.
Truly an amazing movie, needless to say my favourite of all time. anyone who hasn't seen this movie needs to. you will not regret it.
