Saw this in IMAX, which I would definitely recommend. From the first scene, you are taken in and enveloped in the story.
I saw one review (somewhere else) that said there is not that "one scene" that a lot of action flicks have, the one everybody talks about. And, that's true, but in a good way. There is plenty of action, but the entire movie is a seamless, perfect continuation of the story. It takes up right where the last one left off, everything that happens makes sense and connects, and ends without a silly "victory" scene like some movies have resorted to. (Think, a ticker tape parade, let's say, for catching the Joker.)
True to the comic book story, and true to life if this type of thing could actually happen, the end of the movie doesn't wrap everything up in a nice package. There is still a lot going on to be addressed. Things aren't perfect. Everyone doesn't fall in love with Batman even though he's the good guy.
I only saw the first movie in this series, Batman Begins, last year. I'd mistakenly thought it would be a pathetic follow up to the prior series, which should have quit while it was ahead. Luckily I have a friend who explained the entire concept, that this was a total re-telling of the story, keeping more true to the comic book character who is conflicted and has a dark side. After watching, I knew it was quite possibly the best movie I had ever seen. (And it takes a lot to impress me!) I felt cheated that I hadn't seen it earlier. Now that the story has been continued, I am more than anxious for more.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
