Two Nolan movies in a row where I shed a tear at the end.

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2012)

THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN ALONG WITH INCEPTION AND TERMINATOR 2
One of a few occasions where I didn't get restless and was on the edge of my seat for 3 hours. This movie is completely different from The Dark Knight and not the same as Batman Begins.
Heath Ledger was excellent, but only a cog in the engine of superb actors. Bane (Tom Hardy) is a completely different kind of villain. He is absolutely creepy and frightening, but most of all believable.
We must not forget that Christian Bale is superb in all 3 films and is the main reason the franchise is as good as it is (along with Nolan's genius).
I was worried that Bane was going along the Darth Vader route, but fortunately the comparisons were only very small. The music is genius, the acting is flawless and the story is original and intelligent. The twists are great, the action is intense, but real and believable and certainly not overdrawn or too long.
I know this movie will be like the Dark Knight in respect to the 2nd time I watch it I will be even more impressed.
