Beautiful. Immense. Spectacular. Perfect. - Part II

Rating: 9/10 (21 July 2012)

Even Better than The Dark Knight.
This is the only the second trilogy, the other being LOTR which has been fantastic throughout the three parts.
The movie is not the comedy-action movie as The Avengers was. This is intensely emotional, and heavily inspiring. The story-arch of "Knightfall" is well written, and Nolan has done a splendid job of showing us how Bruce becomes a recluse, and then retakes his mantle of Batman to defeat the threat of Bane, whom he underestimates.
The performances from Bale, Hardy, Oldman, Freeman has superb. The dialogues are meaningful. The action is breath-taking. The only grouse I had with the movie was that after Bane broke Batman's back, it is not immediately shown how *painful* it is for Bruce. It is only in the second scene in the hell-hole (a well in Jodhpur, India), that it is shown that his back is actually "broken". Well, but screw that... It was great how Nolan showed how much Bruce had been out of touch, with Alfred and even rookie Blake needing to give lectures to Bruce when he is faltering. The cinematography, esp. the missile sequence is very well shot. All this with the background-score thumping "Dududum-Dududummmmmm-Dum-Dum" in your ear, in your heart and in your mind...
For me, this is the best movie ever.
