From a Trilogy standpoint

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2012)

It has been a month...everything about this film as it is on its own, has been said and reviewed by many. My opinion of it is from a trilogy standpoint.
After watching the trilogy again from Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and now Rises, all in all... it is to me, the greatest trilogy i had ever seen. Never was there a moment in all three films, that i felt bored, that the story wasn't moving along.
Eg. LOTR - The Two Towers, i dreaded the hobbit parts or SW looking at it as a whole episode from 1 to 6, there are many arcs of the story that was uninteresting.
Having said that, my only gripe with The Dark Knight Rises as a trilogy, was with the 3 principal characters of Blake, Serena and Miranda. If these 3 characters were introduced much earlier either during Batman Begins or The Dark Knight, their impact on the overall trilogy would had been much greater. And if only Katie Holmes reprises her role as Rachel in The Dark Knight, or Maggie Gyllenhaal was the one portraying her in Batman Begins, everything would had been perfect.
Either way, the choice of the actors & actresses portraying their respective characters was the perfect cast. They did great. Never was there a time that i watched these characters as their actors & actresses. Each of them made me forget and believed in the characters themselves. I am saddened that it has finally come to a fitting end unfortunately.
With Christopher Nolan's Batman...it is the closest and the best comic book adaptation i had ever seen.
Thank you for making it possible for me (as a fan of the comics) to be able to watch this in my life time.
