Mindblowing! Fantastic end to an epic trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2012)

I went to watch this movie today with a lot of high expectations. Spent last night watching The Dark Knight on DVD just so I get into the mood! And I was not disappointed. Chris Nolan is a phenomenal director and this Batman trilogy beats every other batman movie that was ever made.
Bane makes a great villain but I don't think he's better than Heath Ledger's Joker. Catwoman was a nice addition.
In my view, what makes this trilogy so unique is because Nolan shows the human side of batman. He is also just another human - not a superhero blessed with special powers because of an "experiment gone wrong" or because of an extra terrestrial influence. And then again, he is not just another human. That is truly laudable.
And while 2hr45min is perhaps long by Hollywood standards, I am glad Nolan decided to keep the length and not really take short cuts. I walked out of the movie feeling completed satisfied.
Again, an amazing movie with a great supporting cast.
The best yet in 2012.
