Loved almost all of it, Nolan knows how to end an epic trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2012)

I was lucky enough to see The Dark Knight Rises in one of its earliest showings.In some great seats.
The Dark Knight Rises takes place eight years after the events of The Dark Knight and shows that Gotham is turned very peaceful with no organised crime due to Harvey Dents heroic lock ups. This means that Bruce Wayne no longer needs to become Batman, but Catwoman and Bane come along and force Bruce to return to his true Gotham colours.
Let me just say that i really enjoyed the first half of the movie, it was gritty, dark and very action packed. But i wasn't as impressed with the second half. Purely because i compared it to The Dark Knight to much. But i realise now that it all makes sense and comes together very well for a final act in Nolans trilogy. All the characters from the previous films were great as usual and even the new characters such as Catwoman, John Blake and Bane. All three actors/actress were great too. I especially love Bane because his whole image and voice was completely menacing and dark.
Overall i loved the film but i do still see more in The Dark Knight.
