Nolan, you get a free pass to make whatever you want to from me.

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2018)

The middle part of a trilogy is often the best one, this is not an exception. It is the fourth best rated movie on this website and it is well deserved. The score, visuals, story and supporting characters were amazing, simply marvelous. The only negative is that I think Christian Bale's performance was a bit blande, but the supporting characters were what pulled me and kept me in the movie itself. Gary Oldman was amazing as always, Michael Caine has the best dialogue in the film (other than the Joker), Aaron Eckhart was so good as a tortured man torn between worlds one of (if not THE) best character arc or transformation I have ever seen and Morgan freeman was just at his average (which is just GREAT). Maggie Gyllenhaal was good, but not great. The actors all gave their best.
But I have avoided the BIG one. Heath Ledger's Joker IS THE BEST VILLAIN EVER! Such a performance is very rare in a blockbuster film. The Joker was menacing, intimidating, funny and a truly great embodiment of chaos. He obviously put every bit of talent that he had into this role.
The story is very interesting, not predictable or generic. The score is amazing, but what do you expect from Hans Zimmer.
Overall the film is faithful portrayal of the original comics, while also managing to be a famed movie with great performances.
