It rises to every single expectation and beyond.

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2012)

THE DARK KNIGHT has RISEN and risen very high. There is so much Mr. Genius Nolan has offered us in his 165 min. grand finale of BATMAN saga that it needs at least second viewing to completely absorb the excellence in film making that Nolan and team has put into it. It is no sense and need in comparing The Dark Knight and this movie(though i also did that) because this movie is completely different in its scale and most importantly in its story telling capacity. In fact TDKRises is more in relation to Batman Begins and that's why I liked it much, because it completes the whole circle of Bruce Wayne's journey with a very very satisfying and peaceful ending, not to forget 'YES' everyone missed JOKER here but Tom Hardy's Bane is a very different character, and he played it well with all dominance and strength that was needed and expected from Bane even having that mask cover up half his face. Still Joker becomes d most powerful villain of all. But TDKRises is not there to show how much a villain can be powerful, it also doesn't try to show how much Batman is powerful kicking bad people asses, what it shows and that is my reason why i loved this movie so much is that, this movie is more about Bruce Wayne and his inner emotional RISE from darkness to glory to save his beloved city. Nolan touches so many practical and strong subjects of d real world in this superhero flick that viewer get in a way rooted to its story. Nolan's vision, technical department's incredible work and last but not least performances of every single actor in it makes it very real, not to forget Christian Bale gives total justice to his injustice fighting complex superhero character making it very HUMAN. The question which is the most powerful movie of all three can be answered by saying that as a whole this trilogy journey of Batman Begins, Falls and Rises as a whole is the most powerful superhero movie ever made and will be enjoyed and respected by coming generations. Can't wait for the DVD to come out, this one surely goes into my top collection.
