Mind blowing

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2012)

After 8 years in the sidelines batman returns with a bang to save Gotham from the evil clutches of Bane and his troops. This movie like the previous 2 in line explores the symbolism in characters and delivers - perfectly.
There were parts in the beginning of the movie that seemed a little draggy and Tom Hardy as Bane did not seem to be at his best (I really appreciate him as an actor), but this movie is definitely one of the best I've seen. Don't let anyone fool you on that.
The last hour of the movie is so incredibly breathtaking that I was literally shaking with excitement. This is an emotional journey for Batman, Bane as well as the rest of the ensemble and they take you through it in stunning fashion.
Christian Bale once again delivers another awesome performance and Chris Nolan extends his bid as the best director of all times. Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman both had surprisingly shorter roles when compared to the previous movies but that is understandable as Anne Hathway and Joseph Gordon Levitt take up more screen time. Joseph was particularly impressive and fit the bill easily.
All the cool batman stuff is there - the bike rides, the awesome chase, the gadgets, the emotions, the dilemma and finally a nail-biting ending.
This has awesome stamped all over it. A must watch.
