The Batman is back !!

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2012)

Great action-packed movie from beginning to end. Enjoyment factor easily surpasses the first two installments of the franchise. Almost all of the familiar characters, portrayed by the original actors, are back and they are all better developed. The Bat Cave is back, the mansion rebuilt (finally) and the gadgets abound. It's engrossing, good dialog, great screenplay, lots of heroics and some good plot twists. 2 hours 40 minutes flew by like it was only 90 minutes and there didn't seem to be any wasted energy or low spots throughout the film. The plot unfolded in a logical and dynamic manner. There have been a number of flaws pointed out by other reviews (haters) at this venue but I don't think that it's fair to over criticize. I enjoyed it for what it is, a decent final chapter to a trilogy which is based on a comic book hero. I saw it on a huge screen featuring the new Sony digital projection and sound system in stadium seating. It was epic and worth the price of admission. Action films don't get much better than this. See it.
