A fantastic conclusion!!

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2012)

Before I went to see the movie, there was so much in the traditional and social media about it.
And, some of them were reviews that were very critical. So, I decided to go with an open mind, and I was awed by it.
Most of them negative reviews have got nothing to do with the plot, the performances, the characterization, or anything about the movie. The negative reviews are all about the expectations of the viewer.
With the Batman taking the blame at the end of The Dark Knight, there had to be reasons compelling enough for him to come back, and the come back cannot be all guns blazing, there had to be rustiness, and the failure had to be much larger, in order for him to rise much stronger.
This isn't a movie about Batman/Bruce Wayne alone. Or as hyped about Selina Kyle or Bane. This was as much a story of Commissioner Gordon, of Alfred, of Lucius Fox, of John Blake and indeed the whole of Gotham City. This was about showing what lay in store for each of them, after the events of the movie.
Most importantly, this was about the symbol, about it being truly incorruptible and everlasting.
With the story lines of the previous two movies in context, Nolan indeed has given a fantastic movie that in a very satisfying and overwhelming way, provided, for want of a better word, closure.
