Long and a Bit Forgetful, Until the End

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2012)

I understand that it is very hard to follow something like The Dark Knight, not only because of how good that movie was but because of what happened to Heath Ledger. Knowing that this was his last Batman movie, I believe Christopher Nolan was trying a bit too hard at times with this one. I felt overwhelmed at times by all the story lines taking place at once. The Dark Knight had one main storyline revolving around The Joker. This movie had many different characters and story lines, from Batman to Catwoman to Bane and even Alfred. The ending to this movie and in turn Nolan's trilogy though was one of the best endings I've ever seen. It was a very fitting end and made myself and everyone in the theater discuss it while walking out of the theater, which is what every director wants. Overall, I thought it was a fitting end to a wonderful series.
