Pure Masterpiece!!

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2012)

Since i am a huge fan of Batman, i was waiting ever so keenly for this film and believe me it was worth the wait. First of all the writers are to be congratulated, they have written a beautiful script that almost matches the standards set by the dark knight. Every thing from the beginning to the climax is perfectly written.
However what really made the film into a masterpiece was the direction, screenplay and the soundtrack which made every scene into an epic one. Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer should seriously be considered for Oscars. The running time of the film was 2 hrs 45 mins. You would expect to get bored in such a lengthy film but the director does it so brilliantly that i even didn't realize that the film was already over. I have seen 100s of movies but never did i watch such brilliance in individual scenes. Two of them that stand out are the one in which Bruce escpaes the pit and the climax where the police take on all the escaped prisoners. These were just pure cinematic masterpieces. The film has a stunning conclusion. It is very tricky to provide a conclusion to a character which has a huge worldwide fan following. But Mr. Nolan does it so convincingly that it kept me hooked for the next 3 hours after watching the film. Bravo to the director whose gone that extra mile.
About the acting well, Christian Bale is brilliant as usual. But the standout performers were Anne Hathaway and Tom Hardy. Tom Hary as Bane is brilliant. Yes i agree his dialogue was a little hard to hear but i understood most of the dialogue in the important scenes. The mask gave him that terrifying personality so i would not refer it as the weakness of the film. Rather it is the film's strength. Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle is brilliant. Anyone will be blown away by her performance. Sir Michael Cane, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman have done a brilliant job once again. It is difficult to catch the eye of the audience who were already entertained by Batman, Bane and Selina but the supporting cast is equally good. Never in any point of the film do they disappoint. Marion Cottilard as Miranda/Talia also gave a satisfying performance. Some people have argued that in the end Bane turned out to be the same mindless thug like in Batman and Robin. Seriously, I would disagree it is very clear that Bane is pretty much has an independent personality and thinking. I can refer to numerous scenes in the film but that would make the review too long so i would refer to only one scene in the climax where Talia tells him to let Batman live so that he could watch his beloved city die but when Talia leaves Bane is about to kill Batman against Talia's will. So i hope that pretty much proves a lot.
Some people have argued that the film is flawed but with respect i would disagree. Those who have watched the first two films and this one closely would never say that.
Overall i would say it is a stunning conclusion to a stunning series that has loads of action and great emotional depths. The only thing that the film doesn't have is Heath Ledger that makes it some what short than the dark knight but i am not taking anything away from the film and Tom Hardy. If someone were to fill in the boots left by Heath it was Tom Hardy. A must watch film. A true masterpiece!!
