one fine trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2012)

I am a huge fan of superhero movies and I know most of them even backwards. Batman was NOT one of them because I don't believe that Batman is a "super" hero except his super amount of money. After watching the final part, I strongly believe Nolan made a super trilogy and a hero out of Batman. I haven't been that impressed by Batman Begins but I liked it anyway. However when I watched The Dark Night, I got stunned by it. Still not by Batman character though...stunned by Nolan's interpretation of Gotham this time and the amazing performance of Heath Ledger (RIP). Maybe one of the best acts ever I might say. I was wondering how Nolan could top that with the last movie. I am gladly surprised to see that he surpassed himself quite handsomely. This movie ties most of the loose ends while gives you a perfect amount of real and imagination. You don't understand how 2 hours 40 minutes just passed. You can not make a really bad movie starring Bale, Oldman, Caine, Freeman, Cotillard, Hathaway and Gordon-Levitt anyway but it doesn't have to be this good either. The Dark Knight Rises was being awaited with great expectations...Some of them were to be a good final to a trilogy, to honor the Batman character once again, to go beyond its predecessor, to be as good as any other Nolan movie and so on... And did it manage to keep up to those expectations? Without a doubt: yes it did!
