the dark knight rises.... legend is immortal

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2012)

I am so honored i live in an era which has movies like Batman begins, the dark knight, the dark knight rises, I m so blessed I got the opportunity to watch it first day first show. Christopher Nolan's third part of batman trilogy doesn't disappoints. This is one of the most fantastic cinematic journey I have experienced. Movie has everything whatever you want it to be. Not a big fan of superhero movies but batman is always beyond expectation and again T.D.K.R is up to the mark in its every department action, emotion, entertainment, visual, performance, direction. And most important especially mentioning background music is icing on the cake.
Its an superb ending to a epic tale in which a knight sacrifices his loved ones, his business, his respect for Gotham city. The film is a team of extremely talented actors Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon Levitt all who delivered more than 100%. Tom hardy as Bane utterly terrifying and one of the most deadliest villain I have seen so far. He completely shattered expectation and its unfair to comparing him with Late Heath Ledger they both were outstanding in their performances having completely different characters. He's certainly a credible threat to both Gotham and Batman. His mask is ferocious . This movie gave a chance to Christian Bale to show off his acting skills without the mask and he did a excellent job. The entry of Batman is simply breathtaking and convincing. As well as the character of Bruce Wayne adds emotional depth to the story. This movie is bigger than the previous two, far more ambitious. There are no obvious annoying weaknesses that usually come with films in general, especially blockbuster action movies. All of Nolan's movies have deep psychological themes and this takes those in another new direction. The unsung hero of batman series is Michael Caine (Alfred ). A heartfelt hero which develops the touchy part of story. Anne Hathaway does a great job with the character of Catwoman and Selina Kyle. One moment she's an innocent cute bystander and the next she transforms herself into a skilled and arrogant jewel thief.
The pacing was perfect for the story, it progressed the plot in such a way for you to be able to see all this writing presented magically. The Legnth was 2 hours 45 minutes, and honestly, I wish it never ended. Movie is not at all dull at anytime it will continuously make you think every second what gonna happen next??? which will make you to skip to your heartbeat.
Christopher Nolan is the greatest film maker of all time (I mean it). Big statement, I know. But let's think about that statement for a second... he has not made a bad film (Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Inception) So how does such a brilliant film maker finish off a trilogy that changed super hero movies forever, which included one of the greatest films (in any genre - The Dark Knight) of all time?.
This is what film makers, actors, actresses, cinematographers, and film technicians are born for. There was no way it was going to surpass "The Dark Knight" and the iconic performance of Heath ledger as the "The Joker", but it comes incredibly close and mostly delivers with the assistance of "Bane"; the last major villain of the franchise. Actor Tom Hardy does the role justice as the voice itself is creepy and haunting and sets the tone of the entire film.
Batman is the most iconic hero which leaves all other hero and superhero in the darkness of shadows.
