Will honestly blow you away... Hands-down best film of the year.

Rating: 1/10 (21 July 2012)

I'm not a massive Batman fan, but I decided to check out 'Batman Begins' and 'The Dark Knight' because of almost entirely positive reviews. I enjoyed them both thoroughly, and because of this I went to see 'The Dark Knight Rises' in an Imax theatre. And, I have to say, I've never experienced anything like it. I was completely mesmerised, and I certainly enjoyed it the most out of the three films in the series.
Of course, it wasn't perfect. Occasionally the plot was hard to follow, but it barely faltered otherwise. Both fans and newcomers will be immensely pleased, I can guarantee. It's certainly the ending the series deserves.
And yes, the Imax is completely worth it. The image works fantastically well. In fact, it was so effective I was afraid to lean forward during gunfights as I honestly felt I was there, part of the action! Sounds a bit exaggerated, but you'll see what I mean.
But it's not all just special effects and action stunts. The script is top-quality, possibly even surpassing The Dark Knight, with plenty of clever surprises and devices. And the acting skill is great, too, especially Michael Caine, whose emotional skills almost left me in tears.
Fans will be pleased, and it is well worth seeing whether you like superheroes or not. Out of all the films I've seen so far this year, The Dark Knight Rises was definitely the best.
