First off I want to address the tragedy that occurred in Denver after the midnight showing and just say it is sad that someone would do such a horrific thing. My thoughts are with the victims and their families. Due to the tragedy many of the large production companies held off announcing box office numbers until Monday out of respect for the victims and their families.
This film definitely lived up to the hype. Chris Nolan completes yet another epic film. It beat out Avengers in the first weekend box office numbers and now holds the record. If you haven't seen it yet I suggest you watch the first and second one again but if not it does a great job of flashing back to the important parts. In an interview I read the other day it addressed Heath Ledger and his character the joker. There is no mention of Joker in this new film but only due out of respect for Heath Ledger's memory.
This film brings in the part of Bruce Wayne's past with the League of Shadows and how it comes back to haunt him. Eight years after the death of Harvey Dent crime is at an all time low. Christian Bales, Batman, has been banished from Gotham because he is seen as Dent's murderer. While the cities been busy cleaning up the low life's of the community the newest villain Bane, played by Tom Hardy, has been building an army. With the help of a "cat burglar", Anne Hatheway, a young cop played Joseph Gordon Leavitt who still believes in Batman and what he stands for, and police Commissioner Gordon, Gary Oldman, work together to help bring Batman back to the city in order to save it.. It is action packed and introduces more gadgets and futuristic vehicles from Fox's arsenal. There's a bit of romance in there as well and Alfred is hesitant to see Wayne go back into the field. Be ready for some twists and turns throughout the movie and even though it is 3 hrs long it doesn't feel like it. I would recommend this film to families or that special someone.
Budget:
$250,000,000 (Estimated)
Gross:
