Dark comic books have always been around, but with a difference; as pictures and words on paper, they've allowed readers to choose their own degree of involvement. "The Dark Knight Rises" allows no choice; it's immersive and assaultive to a degree that could only have been achieved by the conjunction of a quintessentially somber comic and a filmmaker with a complementary sensibility, marshaling the vast technical and financial resources of an entertainment conglomerate. During the Great Depression, moviegoers flocked to escapist films with glittering dancers, happy endings and upbeat songs like "Happy Days Are Here Again." For whatever this movie may say about today's world, it rises to a different occasion and dances to a different tune. Happy days are done and gone.
Edit: Ok, fine. It's a positive.

Guys avoid the Time review if you want to stay unspoiled. You've been warned.

And if people could give spoiler warnings along with links that would be great.

The wsj review is cleary positive - in the sense that the reviewer thinks its a good film. Hes referring to the tone of the movie, not the quality.
 
Preview
Check back Wednesday for Star-Ledger film critic Stephen Whitty's review. In it he says the film embraces wit, while avoiding camp. It "is not quite 'The Dark Knight' — a film with a pointed, political take on a world in crisis, and a game-changing performance by Heath Ledger. But it's a fitting climax to a trilogy that elevated a genre, and helped erase at least some of the smirk once attached to 'superhero.'" The film opens wide just after midnight Friday
