Exceptionally good, but I wouldn't call it EPIC!

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2012)

i wouldn't call it an EPIC, because unlike the other Nolan movies, there were times when we feel that the story was getting dragged and somewhere in the middle, Nolan loses his control over it (which he later regains)...bale hardly made some screen presence, The Dark Knight Rises had bane all over it from the beginning till the end and it is sad that Tom Hardy's potential acting was masked by that mask.... actual heroes in the movie were Gary and Levitt (robin ♥) who have done a wonderful job...Hathaway was breathtakingly sexy and Marion cotillard constantly seductive and arousing (the very sight of her)...movie has got some jaw dropping shots which leaves us dumbstruck if we wonder how it could have been shot...Hans zimmer (\m/) no words! batman never lived nor would live without freeman and Micheal Caine and i'm no one to judge or comment on their acting.... on the whole, loved the movie and Nolan succeeded in retaining the 'best writer/director' (and Johnathan of course) position in my heart and continues to make me feel jealous about him like i have never ever been about anyone on earth (or skies)...
