John Ary here with my first reaction to The Dark Knight Rises...
While I didn't loathe it like Harry, I left the theater feeling ambivalent about it. I really wanted to like it, but there is a lot here you have to take with a grain of salt. Some of the scenes are fun (Bane's plane hijacking, Batman versus Bane in the sewer, Bruce Wayne playing cat and mouse with Selina Kyle early in the film), but the more I thought about the film while editing this video, the more I found myself knit-picking its flaws... and there are a lot of flaws. I would urge you to go into it with lowered expectations.
Tomorrow look for my spoilerific Top Ten Things to Hate About the Dark Knight Rises video here on AICN.
