A Dark, Grim, and Awesome Movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2012)

The Dark Knight Rises is not quite as good as The Dark Knight. However that was some extreme heights to live up to. This movie is easily the best movie of the year so far, and in my opinion the best movie since The Dark Knight. Christopher Nolan continues to show his incredible talents on the big screen. Every scene was exciting. My only large issue with the movie is the end. I feel that if the movie was 10 minutes longer it would've been clearer and better. It's not Nolan's fault but it's because IMAX reals run for 2 hours 45 minutes and that's how long the movie is. One thing that I especially think has improved on this one, compared to Nolan's other movies, is the fighting. The hand-to-hand combat sequences are superb. Every movie of his has gotten better with it. In Batman Begins it was only passable, in The Dark Knight it was good but not great, and in Inception it was great, now in The Dark Knight Rises it is Outstanding. Honestly guys this is the movie we've all been waiting for with a few small gripes I love this movie. And chances are that you've seen it. 9.5/10
