A Brilliant End to an Amazing Trilogy!

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2012)

This being my first review on IMDb, what better film to review than The Dark Knight Rises? What can I say about this film that has not been stated already by the critics and fans alike? This film wraps up Nolan's story of Batman is a way that is unprecedented. Nolan is an incredible storyteller and conveyor of emotion through the characters on screen that it leaves the viewer in awe.
The performances by Bale, Hardy, Hathaway, Caine, Oldman, and the rest of the cast are breathtaking and each actor gives an incredible performance. You really feel a sense of connection with each character despite their moral predisposition.
There have been some who have panned this film for being too long, for plot holes here and there, as well as many other little inconsistencies. To those who feel this way I say this: Nolan gave his superhero a true sense of humanity throughout this trilogy and reaffirmed that humanity by making the story and experiences relatable to the viewer. We all have our fallacies and assumptions, as well as flaws. Even Batman.
This film goes beyond the superhero genre and even if you are not a die-hard comic book reader or fanboy/fangirl, this is truly a brilliant film that touches on every level.
