Instant Classic

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2012)

This movie is awe-inspiring. I really didn't think it would even meet its own hype, let alone surpass it. When I heard the movie was three hours long I assumed that Nolan had attempted to make this an epic masterpiece and simply gone overboard. But he didn't miss a trick and that three hours flies by.
There are so many brilliant things about this movie. First of all, Christian Bale gives his best performance. He was simply outstanding and I've never felt more connected to the Batman character until now. Secondly, flawless plot. There were points where I found myself questioning the credibility of the plot, but believe me, by the end of this film it will all come together. Truly, this is one of/if not THE best plots for a film I've ever seen. A true cinematic masterpiece. Thirdly, Hans Zimmer's music. This movie would not have made the hairs stand on my neck like they did without the contribution of Hans Zimmer's music. Every scene was made more suspenseful and more spectacular by the backing of his music.
All in all, this movie is simply mind blowing. The twists and turns, the plot and the symbolism is other worldly. Nolan couldn't have produced a more fitting ending for the trilogy and this is now in my top 3, without a shadow of a doubt.
