United Leeds Endeavours looks at the latest
reviews for the hottest film of the year, The Dark Knight Rises.
The Dark Knight Rises is easily one of the
most hotly anticipated films of 2012. The final film in Christopher Nolan’s
batman trilogy staring Christian Bale hits UK cinemas on Friday. United Leeds
Endeavours has rounded up the reviews from around the world and so far, it’s
looking very good indeed.
United Leeds Endeavours specialize in
direct sales and marketing for the entertainment industry so their interest in
films is pretty intense. Nothing has caught their attention more than The Dark
Knight Rises. The trailers have been appearing on our screens for some months
now and boy does it look good! Never one to be convinced by trailers however
United Leeds Endeavours has been doing some detailed research since the film
was viewed by the critics and it’s been getting some impressive reviews.
According to Todd McCarthy at the
Hollywood Reporter the film “ranks as the best of Nolan’s trio…a
blockbuster by any standard.”
Justin Chang at Variety believes that the
second film in the trilogy is better still thinks it was impressive. He said
“If it never quite matches the brilliance of 2008’s The Dark Knight, this
hugely ambitious action-drama nonetheless retains the moral urgency and
serious-minded pulp instincts that have made the Warners franchise a beacon of integrity in an increasingly comic book-driven Hollywood universe.”
What is United Leeds Endeavours anticipating?
“The trailer gives the impression of the film being as action packed and gritty
as its predecessor. We’ve heard that Tom Hardy as Bane is scary and haunting
though we don’t think he’ll be as good as Heath Ledger was as The Joker.
Christopher Nolan has said himself that Anne Hathaway as Catwoman is so good
that she deserves her own spin-off film so we’re expecting big things from
her.”
The film gets its UK release on Friday with
many cinema’s showing screenings at just after midnight. The team at United
Leeds Endeavours is having a group cinema trip on Friday at 8pm (the tickets
have been booked for weeks, us smug? No!). Keep an eye out for our review next
week!
