The Best Film of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2012)

Brilliant! I could use a hundred adjectives to describe The Dark Knight Rises, but it wouldn't do the film justice. This film (like many of Christopher Nolan films) deserves several viewings before one can make a final verdict. Not because the film is hard to follow, but the dialogue and plot feels much more crisp. You appreciate the film more, rather than countdown to the films finale. Nolan's screenplay is amazing and the conclusion is the greatest and most enjoyable ending of all time. Epic is an understatement, the fight scenes between Batman (Bale) and Bane are intense and when you see the type of battle Batman is up against, you realize that he is just human being like us. Bane's unique voice and Tom Hardy's menacing appearance delivers a powerful on screen antagonist. Anne Hathaway, Michael Cain, and Gary Oldman give emotionally charged performances as their respective characters. You must see it again, again and again!
