Chrisopher Nolan has done it again!

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2012)

This movie takes place 8 years after the Dark Knight. Bruce Wayne has hung up his cape and is living the life of a hermit. He has been in a depression since he had to take the fall for Harvey Dent's terrible crimes. He must now resurface as the Batman to defeat Bane. An evil mercenary bent on destroying Gotham.
The first thing people need to realize when they go to see Christopher Nolan's final Batman film is that this is Bruce Wayne's story more than it is of Batman. Bruce has to make the most difficult decision of his life. Should he continue to be the Batman?
This is an outstanding film. No one could have ended this series better than Christopher Nolan. He does a great job bringing this legend to a close. The script is incredible. It is such an amazing story filled with cool new characters. I'm happy that we got to see more of Bruce Wayne in this movie. Christen Bale is such a gifted actor and was top notch in this movie. The entire cast exceeded my expectations. Anne Hathaway surprised me the most as Selina Kyle A.K.A. Catwomen. Michael Caine gave an Oscar worthy performance even though he has little screen time. Tom Hardy stole the show as the brutal villain Bane. I don't know why people are complaining. I could understand Bane just fine. His first fight with Batman was one of my favorite parts. There was no music which made it all the more suspenseful. His dialog is written very well. The Choreography was perfect. All of the fights look stunning. My hat goes off to Wally Pfister who deserves an Oscar for the Cinematography. This was a major highlight of the movie. The special effects are fantastic. Hans Zimmer is no exception. The score is great. The last 45 minutes had me on the edge of my seat.
Overall, I had a lot of fun watching this. The only problems I have with it are very minor. I am very disappointed with how they handled Bane's death. It was quick and very unclear what happens to him. Besides that, this was a great end to a perfect Trilogy.
I hope JGL will be in a Nightwing movie.
The best part of this movie is the optimism it shows. Nolan could have killed the Batman, but that would have been too easy. He decided to do something unexpected. He gave us hope. This is the ending that we needed and I'm glad to see a happy ending for a change. Thanks to Christopher Nolan, the dawn has finally arrived. 10/10
