This review (filled to the brim with spoilers) is more about analysis than convincing anyone to see the movie, since I'm assuming that everyone and their mother already saw it. For that reason, instead of rushing this review I thought I would take my time, see the film a few more times, and maybe have a little bit more to say.
The Dark Knight Rises does not rise above
The Dark Knight. Well, yeah? Its not as good as the last one. That's a hard act to follow.
The Dark Knight is one of the best films ever. Sometimes I try to estimate how many times I have seen that movie... just in theatres.
The Dark Knight gave us the most iconic villain since Hannibal Lector since Darth Vader since Frankenstein's Monster. This movie exists comfortable and confidently in the shadow of its predecessor. Its a good movie, and a good conclusion to the trilogy. I liked
The Avengers, but this movie I went back to see again.
