Not as good as the prequel, but still brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2012)

First of all, I had been waiting for this for 4 years. I was disappointed by two things: it not being, in my view, as good as The Dark Knight, but I was expecting this, and I would have liked to seen more of Alfred. The thing is The Dark Knight is my favourite movie since I saw it in the cinema in 2008 and still is. The Dark Knight Rises is now my second favourite film. It is, in some places, a little dull, but towards the end it was so incredible that I left the cinema satisfied. Bane was a very good villain and very menacing. It is, perhaps unfair to just judge on terms with Heath Ledger's joker, but admittedly the joker was superior. I would like to point out to anyone who believes that Bane was hard to understand, they are very wrong. He was, aside from perhaps 1 line, completely audible. Also, this movie has made me absolutely love Anne Hathaway. She was brilliant. Joesph Gordon-Levitt was very good, as expected. And of course Christian Bale, Micheal Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman were no disappointment. Also, Marion Cotillard was very good. My view, definitely worth watching.
