Batman truly Rises in the final movie of the Nolan Trilogy.

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2013)

I am not going to lie. I was fearful for this movie. Normally when you think of trilogy's the third one is always the weakest one-Godfather part 3, Spiderman 3, Matrix Revolutions. However, this movie is-in my opinion-the strongest of the Nolan Batman Trilogy. Nolan proved to all of the critics that he was right with going of the character of Bane, a terrorist who has great plans to fulfil his destiny in the city of Gotham. Tom Hardy excels in this role and it is one of his best roles in any movie he's done. He is required to do a lot of acting with his eyes and he has great screen presence, it immediately makes you feel intimidated. Anne Hathaway added depth to the Catwoman character, and portrayed her excellently. Yet, the icing on the cake is Christian Bale who reprises his role of Batman. The whole atmosphere in Gotham is created through Nolan's direction of the film. It's a very dark setting, darker than The Dark Knight was, but this adds further to the main theme of the story-redemption. It was the best movie in 2012 and Nolan, I thank you for a superb trilogy!
