Bravo Nolan & Bale!

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2012)

Despite what reviewers said, I am so glad I went to see this movie. This was, by far, the best of the entire series. Christopher Nolan brought a beautiful sense of, I would say "closure" but that's not really descriptive enough. He brought a beautiful and satisfying sense of "completion", meaning and satisfaction to this series. It was my favorite by far & I'll go back and bring others with me. It was so rich, with different layers in the characters and plot, tying together threads from the previous movies. It really felt beautifully woven together. Everything had it's place, in it's proper time, and all the "loose ends" were tied up in the most perfect way (not too loosely, obliquely, heavy-handed or with too much sentimentality). Just perfect! The underlying messages were so powerful & in the end, uplifting, I left the theater feeling like I wanted to see it again and take people I care about with me to see it. Bravo Christopher Nolan --- you did a magnificent job, certainly what the series deserved & far beyond what I expected. Bravo Christian Bale--- I've enjoyed your performances but to me this was your best performance & most satisfying by far. Rather than walking out feeling depressed about the end of the series (so glad to see the door open for the next installment with Robin & Bruce Wayne not only very much alive but having reached the next step in his life) or anxious by all the dark forces which we're reminded are all around us, I left feeling fulfilled, satisfied, uplifted and hopeful. Thank you, thank you, thank you for that. We need more of this kind of movie-making, one that both entertains (with plot twists, action & suspense) and uplifts. Bravo!
