The highly anticipated conclusion of the epic Batman series by Christopher Nolan, the Dark Knight Rises.

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2012)

Watched it first day, first show. I'm a huge fan of the series so was going to watch it anyway, whether it was good or bad because generally the conclusion of any epic series isn't that satisfying. But....we forget it's Christopher Nolan who has directed this. I was actually speechless for a long time after the movie finished. It's PHENOMENAL!!!
It's worth every dime of your money and time spent (it's a long movie). It's full of stupefying, yet sensible, action, with an addition to Batman's armada of stunning vehicles. There are many twists and turns which keeps even the most seasoned of the audience guessing till a long time. All the acting is genuine (no question there!), the cinematography is bold and raw. Catwoman steals the hearts. And Bane, oh.. He is so bad and so tough! The direction is, as always, brilliant. In fact, Christopher Nolan has given everything he's got to this finale. It's dark, we can emotionally attach to, and feel, every situation and along with all this I would like to make the special mention of the music, the background score, by Hans Zimmer. I wouldn't be wrong in saying that this film wouldn't have got this legendary aura to it without the background music!
So, in short, whether you've watched earlier parts or not, it's an at least a must watch movie, three times!
