A Perfect Ending To The Trilogy

Rating: 6/10 (20 July 2012)

When I saw trailers for the Dark Knight Rises, I was utterly disappointed. I thought it was going to be the first time ever that I disliked a Christopher Nolan movie. I have learned my lesson and shall never doubt Nolan again. At first, I could not stand Tom Hardy's voice. The accent was strange at first and annoyed me. However, as the movie went along, however, it grew on me. In fact, by the end, I loved it. Christian Bale's Batman voice once again draws some random funny moments that aren't intended to be funny at all. It occasionally works, but most of the time falls flat and, along with some strange lines, is just weird. The story of this movie is by far that best of the series. It has the power and emotionally intensity it needs and Nolan proves, once again, he is a master storyteller through his ability to introduce characters and use them to their full potential, and lose them when need be. The visual effects, which looked pathetic and overused in the trailer, actually were brilliantly used and wonderfully done. All in all, I cannot think of many things I would change about this movie and now consider Nolan's Batman tied with Lord of the Rings as the greatest Trilogy of all time. I simply cannot think of any other three movies that connect so beautifully and present a better, more complete story. Let's see what gift Nolan will direct for us next.
