An epic conclusion to a stunning trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2012)

Firstly, i think its fair to say you can't really compare this to TDK. TDKR is a very different movie in the sense it just beautifully brings everything full circle and is an action-packed and emotional ending. The whole cast do a fantastic job and there are some really beautiful and very emotional scenes between Bale and Caine, and Nolan does a great job of letting each character shine.
Alongside the tender moments are some great action scenes, and the final climatic showdown is especially a spectacular sight. The fight scenes however aren't as mind-blowing and adrenaline-fuelled as the previous films but are still enjoyable.
Bane is a great villain and poses a huge physical and mental threat to Batman. Bane is obviously not as great and memorable character as The Joker, but as i said before, they are different characters with different uses. Joker was there to create chaos. Bane is here to physically and mentally push Batman.
The cinematography was beautiful and the Zimmer's score creates such an atmospheric mood. TDKR is actually such an ambitious film, tackling many large and complicated themes while creating tense, emotionally charged but action-packed scenes. Nolan really does an excellent job here.
TDKR builds and builds to a very tense but fantastic ending. There are even a few plot twists thrown in there but thankfully everything is tied up neatly; no loose ends. We get a definite conclusion to a fantastic trilogy.
