For some reason, I missed out on seeing Batman Begins and The Dark Knight in the cinemas. I managed to catch The Dark Knight on the small screen eventually, but I didn’t find it as awesome as most people said it would be, because it was a tad too long and serious for me. So I was afraid that I would get bored by its sequel, The Dark Knight Rises. How wrong I was. The movie was over two hours long but it gripped me from start to finish. I loved the brilliant special effects. I loved all the twists they incorporated into the plot. I loved how the characters drew me in emotionally, such that I was actually in tears towards the end. This has got to be the best movie of the year so far.
There was a moment in the film, though, when the villain Bane walked into a public place and just suddenly started shooting random people when I was gripped by a real terror, afraid that it would happen in our cinema too, just because it happened in Colorado. Those poor people who died. Most of them were in their twenties! My heart goes out to them.
