Reactions are beginning to trickle in for The Dark Knight Rises. While official reviews are embargoed until the 18th, New York critics were the first to see it and have been tweeting reactions.
Tom McAuliffe tweeted "The trilogy is greater than the sum of its parts, and for me the 3rd was the very best part of the whole story. Dark Knight is a classic in its own right - it stands alone, but in this trilogy, and as a closer, this film exceeds. It’s an ending that presents opportunity for thought for sure. Risky/tough story well told, brilliantly acted, great cinematography, awesome score." LA Critics saw the movie this weekend and there was apparently a standing ovation at one of the press screenings - I've never seen that in Dublin.
The film is released worldwide and in July 20th.
