A Fitting Finale!

Rating: 9/10 (21 July 2012)

"You are in for a show tonight!" The dark knight rises one last time to save Gotham. This movie portrays batman at his most fragile self. Problems are everywhere while solutions in the abyss. Bruce is down with grief, Wayne empire is at all time low, Bane and his gang is taking over the city brick by brick. Bruce is faced with a choice to let Gotham die or rise to give some hope to its citizens who are interested in only one thing that they do best when threatened: own survival.
This movie is a perfect blend of, pain, struggle, sadness, suspense, action, loss, chaos, triumph, powerful lines, a number of great performances and above all a very good story.
Out of so many good ones if I need to choose a single stand out performance it would be Christian Bale, he has come a long way. This movie gave him a real chance to show what he is capable of as Bruce Wayne. Then comes Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, reviewing their performance would be like holding a candle to the sun so I won't. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ann Hathaway were perfect for their parts, I was a little doubtful of Hathaway but she managed to steal the frames a good number of times. While I missed a mind blowing performance like Heath, Tom Hardy as Bane managed to deliver a handful of terrifying moments and last but not the least what a great music.
A tiny issue I had was that first half took a little while to come to speed, but I guess it was necessary to build the story and to tie up the loose ends from last two parts.
No amount of words would be enough to praise Christopher Nolan for giving us a stellar finale.
My Rating: 9/10
