The Return 2003
(From a review I wrote for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review in 2004):

The Dark Knight Rises 2012
Certainly the biggest movie ever made in Pittsburgh, raking in more than a billion dollars worldwide. Compared to the first two chapters in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight (Batman) trilogy, it’s a lugubrious, murky slog, with the franchise’s least interesting villain (Tom Hardy tried, but it’s hard to act with your mouth covered). Still, there are a few action sequences here that are simply stunning, such as the apocalyptic destruction of Heinz Field on game day. And by this point, the onrushing doom of Nolan’s vision has its own unstoppable momentum.
