Went to the midnight premier of the Dark Knight Rises - totally worth it. Of course it was, for a few reasons:
A) It's fucking Batman
B) It's a damn good movie
C) It's fucking Batman - he's the best superhero of all time
Now, the argument can be made (and hell, maybe it's already been settled; I love me some Batman, but I'm not a huge comic book nerd) that he's not a superhero due to the fact that he doesn't have a superpower. I can get on board with this. So maybe just the greatest hero ever. I don't know.
In any event, due to my unabashed love of all things Batman, I will readily admit I'm not the most impartial observer. That said, I loved it. Bane was awesome - clearly he wasn't the character the Joker was in the first one, but there's no shame in that. He was creepy in a far different, yet still awesome way. He didn't look massive, but good camera work also made him appear slightly larger than he really is, which added to his mystique. I never thought much of Anne Hathaway before this (she's certainly not ugly, I just was pretty indifferent to her), but she looks damn sexy in this, so that was a plus as well - and light years better than Maggie fucking Gyllenhall. In the end, I highly recommend it if you've got the inclination to go, though at a 2:45 run time, don't plan to do much else for a while.
