The Batman climbs to 'best trilogy ever'

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2012)

So, I decide to see a movie this afternoon.
Most great trilogies in-fact have a member who actually lets the team down. When it comes to the Dark Knight trilogy, before today it could only be The Dark Knight Rises. With a stroke of brilliance by all key players involved The Dark Knight Rises not only lives up to its heritage, but also carves out it's own identity. These guys really know what they're doing when they get together to make a movie. With Christopher Nolan at the helm, their attention to detail gives the Hollywood blockbuster a good name.
Each film has had it's own world, The Dark Knight Rises isn't as 'dark' as The Dark Knight, but it's just as gritty. It's not as new as Batman Begins, but just as engaging. Like all the movies, it's plain fantastic.
I look forward to hearing people philosophize over which film is better. They'll be doing so for many years to come.
I saw it this afternoon in Melbourne, Australia. Opening day. Spare of the moment decision. I'm looking forward to crossing paths with this gem again.
