Dark Knight Rises

OK... after my initial anger, I decided to go see the movie. I figure it's the type of society we live in now and if being in public places carries with it possibility of execution, then so be it. Can't live in fear. Just be aware.
I went to see the movie at 11:40am and the theater was full, though the people at the theater said there was no one at the earlier showings. I also noticed I wasn't the only one watching the crowd... in case of copy-cats. After watching the movie I can see what that <bad word> guy did was very premeditated. Turns out the jerk was from here, just bad luck for the people of Aurora that he moved there. And, as I feared, AMC has announced no more costumes in their theaters. I expect the others to follow trend. Another notch in our enjoyment of life.
As for the movie? Excellent! Great wrap up to the series. Like most reviews say, it's not as good on it's own as 'Dark Knight' was but put together as a whole, it was perfect. If you haven't seen 'Batman Begins' in a while I strongly suggest you watch it first. A lot of references to that movie. This movie is long, almost three hours, but it's easy to get engrossed in it so you don't notice. Unless you have to go to the bathroom. I was surprised when I got to my truck and it was already 3:00. Oh yeah, while Batman was easier to understand in this episode, Bane was quite difficult at times.
There is no extra scene afterwards so if you don't wish, there's no need to sit through the credits. Music is great though. Why is it every time I sit through the credits there's no scene? When I leave early I find out there was another scene.
I would have liked to see a dedication, Warner Brothers expressing sorrow to the victims of Aurora, but I'm sure it was too soon to add something. I would expect that to appear in later showings. Is there a curse on these Dark Knight movies?
