Great mix of the original and the new
Good and gory!!
This was a cracking film! I thought it would be a cheese-fest, and to some degree it is. I loved how the zombie storyline was merged with the original novel, and I, probably annoyingly, kept telling my husband when they had lifted dialogue from the book. I liked that touch very much. And there are some absolutely cracking actors in this film! I was very surprised to see Charles Dance (and also rather pleased. He could talk to/ at me all day!).

A brilliant film and great ending....for now at least to this trilogy. Dark, gritty and brutal it doesn't feel like a comic book action hero film. It's more a harsh crime thriller! I thought Anne Hathaway was well cast as Catwoman as is Tom Hardy as Bane. The only problem I had was understanding everything Bane said through his face mask, at times the voice doesn't seem to match the villain? Only small minor gripes though, still I have to add The Dark Knight is still my favourite of the 3 with this a close second.

A great way to gain weight from cheese
This is by no means a bad film in fact it's a very good film, with stellar performances from the young cast the only thing that let's it down is the over the top mushiness from the main adult stars ,I left the cinema feeling like I gain 2 stone from all the cheese ,again not as good as the book but it was well worth the hr and half to watch it

I love this film so much because it was one of the first things I ever saw Christopher Walken in and with it being that it's also a Stephen King book, it's win/win.
Looking at it now after watching a vast variety of his movies, it's nice to see him play a sympathetic character, a bit of a loser even.
The film is slow in places but stick with it. The meeting between Johnny and Martin Sheen's character is literally to die for!!!
