Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2013)

This final instalment in the batman trilogy was the perfect way to end it. The movie was very well scripted, had a gripping plot and the execution of adding Cat woman was very effective. The main villain, Bane, played exceptionally well by talented actor Tom Hardy (Inception) was without a doubt the most terrifying and awesome antagonists of the Batman and most other superhero films for that matter. His voice, charisma coupled with his high intelligence and psychopathic mindset was the perfect combination and he brought a certain gravity to the film. By making him match and even exceed batman in hand to hand combat was a nice touch. What was possible the most impressive scene of the entire film was the opening hijacking segment. It was brilliantly shot, and it effectively established Banes capabilities from the very beginning. The Dark Knight Rises is also depicts the rising of Robin, the character of John Blake, (Joseph Gordon Levitt). As though the film wasn't already good enough, the final twist of who really was the child of Ras al Ghul really was simply astounding, unpredictable and brilliant. Christopher Nolan did well by making Officer Gordan find out who Batman really was. The only flaw of the film was the departure of cat woman and her return which was very predictable. The final scene depicting batman's "death" is an ending unique to Christopher Nolan as we've seen in the ending of Inception. Simply, we don't know if batman lived or died, however there are a number if clues that are pretty useless since they can be used to defend batman's death or survival. This movie is a must watch.
