Absolutely Fantastic!

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2012)

If you thought Inception was awesome and splendid then hold on till you watch Dark Knight Rises. This movie goes one step ahead and another blockbuster from Christopher Nolan. Wow what a movie. I saw the trailer and didn't read any comments or read the story before watching this movie.
I just went with a blank head. The movie started with a bang, from the beginning till the end "Bane" was menacing and looked like a final frontier for any hero. The first half was slower among the two halves. Like the inception this movie had twists and turns. If you thought Bane was THE bad guy or villain then you are in for a surprise. Watch it to know who the real villain is. There are shades for every character. Every character had fair amount of screen time to develop and you can relate to them. The Story was really fantastic. It was well told and had lot of emotional scenes where you feel the characters on the screen.
Christian Bale was perfect as Batman. His entrance is superb. The Bat Bike is awesome. The way it takes right turn or left turn is simply a treat to watch. Anne Hathaway as catwomen was very natural and she is a very fine actress. In the first half there is one fight sequence between Batman and Bane. Anne hathaway in a way deceives Batman and when he gets beaten up you can see the pain in her eyes. Beautiful acting. Whether it is Alfred, Anna Hathway or Christian Bale all actors were outstanding.
The background music adds to the tension and you are sucked into the movie completely. There are scenes where you would say WOW. Whenever Bane appears on the screen he looks intimidating and you would wish the Batman had more muscle. Bane terrifies with his speech, looks and with that kind of big personality he was perfect villain for Batman. At one stage you will ponder whether batman is really capable of upstaging Bane. The second half provides all answers and much more.
I never felt this movie was long or it was close to 3 hours. It was so engrossing that I was lost in the movie completely entire time. The story, action , gadgets, direction, music and the actors were simply mind blowing.
Personally I would recommend this movie to everyone. Dark Knight Rises is an epic movie. This will definitely be part of my all time collection.
For this movie you have to experience the story and not read. The movie makes you feel in so many ways. You will be entertained, there is no doubt about it.
This movie gets double thumbs up!! Go watch it, you are in for tons of surprises.
