To start with just one word - Magnificent? Awesome? Epic? Flawless? Well in this case all of them! Nolan truly outdid himself this time, more than what he did with The Dark Knight in 2008.

After being fortunate to attend a special premier screening before the rest of the world, for the entire duration of the movie I was just glued to my seat without giving a dam what was happening anywhere else. Right from the opening credits till the end, the movie was just mind blowing.

They plot is simply awesome, one of the best stories ever told, and certainly for a comic book movie - a cool adaptation of the graphic novels of The Dark Knight Returns and No Man's Land and of course from the Knightfall story arc. Being a comic book fan I got blown away as the movie continued and each time the entire place went in an uproar. If you have read the comics one would love it even more, otherwise the plot is so well written with so much twists, humour at well unexpected places and great moments that anyone would be blown away.

Action - now this is the other major part. As having more than an hour of IMAX shooting, the movie truly lives up to its Action and War film genres. Despite sitting for ~3 hour it felt the movie got over very soon. Such is the intensity you can hope to be totally hooked into.

Acting was a class apart. Tom Hardy's Bane was indeed terrifying living up to his reputation; Gary Oldman's Gordon, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Blake and Michael Cain's Alfred were very well made characters, emotional and core to the plot. Anne Hathaway made a really cool Catwoman, her screen time was full of awesome moments. And lets not forget the main Batman, Bale's BEST performance yet.

Hans Zimmer also really outdid himself like Nolan in terms of the music score.

So the conclusion is: 10/10

The most common and sort of obvious debate will be The Dark Knight vs. The Dark Knight Rises. Well I'd say I love both the movies, but saying one "better" than the other is not exactly right, rather I would say The Dark Knight Rises is bigger and more grand. Hope that helps. One of the best movies in decades literally. MUST watch.

With that said, as the name says Amazing movie! Way better than the last trilogy, though I'd say Spiderman 2 is still the best and Sam Raimi the better director, this one stands out on its own and serves as a much better and "true" origin story. Some parts even feels similar to the way to Batman Begins, but could have been better but great nonetheless.

Very good and personal plot, good acting by the cast, Andrew Garfield was amazing, no over exaggeration in the movies you see these days and basic stunts and action sequences done very well then throwing in hopeless complex sequences just to make it look good.

More of a "teen-flick" as this is the first movie I've seen where the girl is beautiful yet clothed all the time and dry and the guy is stripped at a point :P (which makes it enjoyable for females and probably a good movie date?) but not to be mistaken as some action- romantic film as some of the trailers might suggest, this is actually a very good super hero movie, having good moments and having a good balance between comic, dark and realistic.

I'd give this a vote above The Avengers on this years best movies. A delight for old comic book and spiderman fans and a must watch for all spiderman fans and for movie goers/lovers wanting to see a good film

I had the opportunity to attend a special fan screening in my city's (Mumbai, India) IMAX theater where stars Tom Cruise, Paula Pattan and Anil Kapoor had come to promote the film. To put it down simply, the plot was almost linear and slightly above average. Well done script, but nothing ground breaking, much better than the 2nd and 3rd installments and I must say almost equal to the 1st. Visual appearance and sound were great, since being the IMAX format a decent job done. Sound was average and not much appealing. Action sequences were overall good, certain key scenes were absolutely well made, realistic, brutal and good fighting, and in between good humour being the icing in the cake. The film was fast and continuous, and less likely one might get bored over some 'filler' on screen, so that is a plus one. So concluding, a must watch which maybe enjoyed watched a couple of times due to the amazing IMAX shots.
