Simply a Magnificent Movie

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2012)

The Dark Knights Rises I approached with trepidation, after all my expectancy of the greatness of cinema experiences had been almost destroyed by the lack lustre and absurd attempts of the latest Mission Impossible installment, and Prometheus. Could the Dark Knight live up to my anticipation of the film. The answer is a profound and exasperating YES!
All the major acting players performed exceptionally well and the screenplay allowed, through good character consistency and development (evil glance in Ridley Scotts direction there), them to explore the deeper humanity and complexities held within. The effects were tremendously and realistically executed, complementing the story without dominating. The soundtrack is emotive and dramatic enough to keep up with the grandeur of emotion and action at all times. At the conclusion one feels as if you have been steered on a truly classically layered epic, one which includes deception, treachery, ambition, vengeance,hate and passion and does so whilst keeping you in a state of connection. I have a few very, very fine persnickety points of very minor irritation but that is straining to find something I didn't like. In short it is AWESOME, see it and love it!
