Outstanding

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2012)

Just caught the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises in PVR with my brother-in-law last night and I simply stand in awe of what I witnessed. It was one of the most absorbing work of cinema I have ever seen. Chris Nolan has excelled himself as a director. The fact that he is one of the most talented appears from the stats themselves. Six out of his eight directorial ventures have landed in IMDb's Top 250 movies of all time. If he continues at this pace, he will very soon surpass the efforts of his predecessors as well. The much awaited end to the trilogy surely ended with a bang! The Batman is back after eight long years to save Gotham from the ferocious mercenary Bane - Tom Hardy, the surprise package of the Dark Knight Rises. The action was delightful to watch and the performances were superb as always. Nolan uses the acting skills of Christian Bale to perfection when the Batman was man handled by the intimidating figure of Bane. Oldman, Freeman & Caine are crafty as usual. Anne Hathaway & Marion Cotillard portray their characters magnificently. Gordon Levitt made his impression both as Blake and Robin. A resplendent movie with wonderful stances that will blow you away.
I am a movie freak and cannot stay until I watch at least two movies a day. But I ain't watching any movie for a day or two. I simply want to stay put keeping this movie capture my mind. A must see!
