One of the most anticipated films in years, â€œThe Dark Knight Risesâ€ not only delivers but has you wanting more.Â Thankfully Nolan keeps his projects under wraps and there were no spoilers going in to the epic conclusion of the Batman trilogy.Â There was wide speculation on whether it would be worth it to do this film after the success of â€œThe Dark Knightâ€. Â Â As most are reporting already, there is no need to fear.

Be ready for a ton of darkness in this film.Â Heaviness was a constant companion throughout the 2 hours and 47 minutes, andÂ a wonderful, intricate plot that ties all the films together beautifully. In order to fully commit to an opinion on which of the three was my favorite, I would need to see this last installment one more time.Â Each of the three offered us a rare and much more realistic glimpse into Batmanâ€™s world. You may be asking yourself the validity of seeing the third installment of Nolanâ€™s Batman.Â Could it live up to the hype after â€œThe Dark Knightâ€?Â Could any villain compare to Heath Ledgerâ€™s legendary albeit tragic last role?Â Hereâ€™s an idea.Â Stop asking and go find out!

â€œThe Dark Knight Risesâ€ is an epic tale of the return of Batman to Gotham. In spite of the two ton brick on my chest throughout the film, Nolanâ€™s brilliance shines on through, making the amount of stress the story puts you through, well worth the high blood pressure.Â Batman is one of the most beloved and popular characters of all time.Â Christopher Nolan took a huge risk agreeing to tackle this just one of these movies, let alone a full trilogy.Â To reinvent Batman into a more realistic, respectable tale was quite a feat, and finding the right people, was nothing short of a miracle.Â Each of the ensemble cast members carries their weight and deliver outstanding performances.

We already know that Christian Bale hits his Bruce Wayne/Batman out of the park, so there was not surprise when we saw him do it again, the same goes for Gary Oldmanâ€™s Commisioner Gordon, although Iâ€™d say that this is a movie that truly allowed his character to shine, which was awesome. The worries came of course from our Villain roles and the inclusion of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle. Well we here at the Cineverse are happy to ease all of those worries by saying just how excellent they were. No one was more worried about Hathaway in this movie than I was. I have never really enjoyed her films, so her inclusion was just something for me to sigh about, not unlike Katie Holmes and Maggie Gyllenhaalâ€™s performances. But Hathaway found some skills I didnâ€™t know she possessed, and played and impressive, attractive, and bad-ass Catwoman. Bane, however, was 10 times more badass than her. The thing about Bane was, since most of Tom Hardyâ€™s face was covered by that mask, all his â€œactingâ€ per se was done physically. He had to express himself by the movements his body made, relying on body language to inform the audience of his moods. It was captivating to watch, and while his Bane is nowhere near the performance Ledger gave us in The Dark Knight, it was by no means lacking. He hit this character out of the park, and it was a welcome addition to this already stellar cast of characters.

Now, most of you will want to know what this movie is actually about, or if the Joker shows up, or if Batman dies, but Iâ€™m not going to tell you. Go. See. This. Movie. That is the simple truth, the one thing you should take away from reading this, its worth the money, it worth the time, check it out, you wont be disappointed I Promise.

The Bottom Line:

Go see this movie right now! It’s definitely worth a full price viewing in IMAX!

Until next time…

See you at the theater
