Dark Knight Has Risen

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2012)

Take a deep breath , bow your head & in awe you kneel down for you have witnessed one of the greatest movie in the history. This is movie making at its best. Chris Nolan has done it (yet) again. By the time end credit start to roll you would have been swept by a wave of emotional tsunami. Normally superhero movies are mindless action flicks,Dark Knight broke this myth in 2008 and now in 2012 the scale is bigger ,wider and better. Each and every aspect of the film is simply mind blowing. I am a great fan of 'Editing' in Nolans movies (Who can forget 'Prestige' and 'Memento'). Frankly speaking BatMan was never my favorite superhero but the faith Nolan has show in this superhero and the treatment which has been given to the character is simply amazing. Nolan has adopted Batman and turned him into a real hero. Unlike other superhero you don't want to see Batman perform just stunts for he is much more than a mere action figure. He is human and prone to failures. During the length of movie you are made to experience BatMan's pain, his fear & his failures.
TDKR belongs to Christian bail no doubts about that but Nolan has given sufficient room to other characters to shine through and CatWoman does shine. Shes a surprise package in the movie. Michael Caine can always be expected to give a strong performance and does he deliver? yes with a bang. Other strong performance comes from Joseph Gordon Lewitt. Looks like Nolan trust him a great deal.
About the story, since the screenplay is written by Nolan himself ( along with his brother) its fantastic as usual. Story is fast paced and runs along pretty well, there's a lot of stuff which has been carried over from part-1 and 2 so if you haven't seen those 2 movies (highly unlikely) then my suggestion is that you go and see those first. Action and special effects are top notch.I only have one problem with the movie, just because its running at a brisk pace few portions of the movie looks rushed into or may be that's only because I was enjoying the movie so much that I wanted more of it.
Nolan has confirmed that this is the end of Batman and after seeing the end you are pretty much convinced that BatMan has ended. To quote Nolan "Every story deserves a great ending and this is our attempt to give BatMan an ending he deserves".
We will definitely see the batman once again on big screen sometime in future ( may be after 3-4 years) in a reboot of the franchisee , created by some other team but will the batman ever be made to look so interesting and 'Human'? Slim chance ..I really doubt it.
