Great conclusion to the epic Bat-Trilogy!

Rating: 8/10 (28 August 2012)

Well, this is the end of the Nolan Batman movies and what a way to go!
Positives: *Great looking film, slick designs for all the bat-gadgets, dark and grim looking, especially the second half, able to keep the bleak, heavy tone consistently throughout. *Soundtrack by Hans Zimmer suits the film well. *Mostly very well acted, Michael Caine and Christian Bale in particular giving it their A-game and being very convincing. *Good action set pieces and tight pacing make the film seem not quite as long and dragged out as the nearly 3 hour running time suggests. *Tom Hardy as Bane, despite the face mask thing, was amazing. Anne Hathaway's Catwoman is the best so far.
Negatives: *The villain's motivation was quite frankly not as clear as it should have been. *Marion Cotillard seemed to be sleepwalking through the movie, her final scene being especially weak, which surprised me a lot.
So there you go. My two cents.
