The Dark Knight Rises: A befitting conclusion to the epic Dark Knight trilogy!

Rating: 10/10 (29 April 2018)

BATMAN BEGINS was an entertaining superhero film.
THE DARK KNIGHT was both excellent as well as entertaining apart from just a superhero film.
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES takes a step further to become the most enjoyable and visually striking film of the trilogy.
Seriously, I like THE DARK KNIGHT the most because it has the greatest depth for any action film. But RISES takes it to an all entertaining level. You await the entry of Batman, and when he's back, you want to clap, whistle and cheer for one of the greatest superheroes of all time. Really, Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale nail it together once again!
When I saw Bane (played wonderfully by Tom Hardy), don't know why I felt some sort of relief because I didn't find him as menacing as Joker played by the legendary Heath Ledger. This doesn't mean Bane wasn't good, but the relief I felt was for Batman, for he won't have to go through another intense psychological battle the Joker made him go through.
This thought lasted only till I saw Bane proving me and Batman, wrong in this aspect.
One of the best things about THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is that it combines the flavour of the first two films together to give you both an entertaining as well as intense action film. The emotional sequences are handled very well and truly resonate. Technically, this is perhaps the strongest film of the trilogy even though its predecessors too impress in this aspect, given the time period they were made in.
The action sequences are visually striking, spectacular and excellent. There are plenty of them to enjoy, so it's better that almost every action movie lover watches this film. The screenplay is excellent and the execution is top notch. It's another film which is worth seeing in the highest possible quality.
But undoubtedly, it's the climax again, like the first two films, which takes you by surprise and leaves a strong impression on your heart. Also, it has got some truly unexpected as well as exciting surprises!
It's sad that it's the last film of the trilogy, but the happy part is that all the three movies are so great that the viewer can discover something new upon watching them again and again. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, is really worth a watch. I really love Batman even more now, and there's in no way I can stop praising Christopher Nolan for giving us the best superhero trilogy of all time.
