Thought provoking and entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2012)

First things first, don't watch the Rises without watching the Begins. You will surely miss the heart and soul of the movie.
This movie is not about the action, the conflict, the villain or the hero. Nolan returns to the roots of this series by making Bruce learn more about fear. Bruce must learn the power of fear yet again, see it in a new way and learn to use it in a different way.
The expected things are all there, the villain winning the first battle, hero returning stronger, nice twists, action and fist fights, new gadgets, effects. But don't let them blind you, look deeper and you would find the crowning jewel of this series.
Another thing worth mentioning, the soundtrack is amazing!!
