With a few exceptions, the trilogies I've seen have had a great first movie, let down with the second, and redeemed themselves (or tried to) with the third. Think about it- you can probably name at least one you've seen; maybe the majority of the second movie was great but the ending was a complete let down. Well, I only have one word to describe the ending of this AMAZING movie. "Chills". As in, I got them. BIG time. When I got to the theatre, I'd been hoping it would be as amazing as it should, but mentally preparing for it sucking (hope for the best, prepare for the worst, you know?). An hour and a half in, I looked at my watch and could not believe that It had already been so long- It felt like hardly anything. By the end of the movie, I DID, however, believe it was at least two and a half hours (over three, with the previews and credits). Within those three hours, there were a couple of fake-me-out endings, a couple of fantastic plot twists, and a multitude of fantastic performances. This is definitely one of the best comic book movies I have ever ever seen; the writing was great, the cinematography was great, even the company was- though you might not be so lucky in the theater you're in. If you only see a handful of movies this summer (who only ever sees one?), this one will take your breath away and leave you wanting to see it again. So, I guess, maybe it WILL be the only movie you see- 10 times.
