It is unfortunate that the Dark Knight Rises will forever be linked to the horrific actions of a lone gunman in Colorado. The Dark Knight Rises isn't the Avengers. It is not an enjoyable film, but it is a thoroughly satisfying experience. The films narrative continues on not only from The Dark Knight, but significantly encompasses elements from Batman Begins. Despite Dark Knight Rises being set eight years since the events of the Dark Knight, it hardly feels like you've missed a beat. Bane is an excellent villain. Selina Kyle adds a whole new level of intrigue and unpredictability to the series. It is hard to fault the movie except perhaps for the pacing of the movie in the second half. The film is more epic than the Dark Knight, encompassing the scale of Batman Begins rather than the narrow focus of Dark Knight. I don't want to write too much, because every part of the film feels integral to the final outcome. Best movie of the year so far.
Rating: 10/10
