Breathtaking

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2012)

I got a hard time not showing my enthusiasts about this film. Instead I'll just be to the point. What a ride this final chapter was! It builds up to deliver a truly satisfying climax. Every shot, every dialog, it all feels so well coordinated and executed. If you think that's great, listen to the soundtrack! The music kicks in at the exact right moment in the entire film, giving you an epic goosebumps feeling along the way.
Comicfans know why Nolan chose Bane as the bad guy. Bane was the only one who succeeded in really defeating Batman. That gives a nice touch to the films storyline. Apart from that, Catwoman plays surprisingly good, there's a real 'itch' connection between her and Batman. She flirting, he trying to get the best out of her. But what really adds that extra touch is an underlying feeling in the entire trilogy that there is always someone who believes in Batman, that he truly can save Gotham from it's punishment. That feeling that we all know.hope.
If you start thinking about how epic the movie was, watch it again. I watched 'The Dark Knight' six times in the cinema, I found so many new perspectives, so many details Nolan pays attentions to and we perhaps hardly see. Friday is going to be my third visit to The Dark Knight Rises. All considering: Batman Begins was a real good warm-up, The Dark Knight was just epic, The Dark Knight Rises is breathtaking.
Christopher Nolan made Batman an epic legend, the best of his kind, a hero who believes in justice without having to kill. Who shows that there is always hope and that there are others who believe in such a hero.
I hate it for just having it to end, but I couldn't think of a better ending than shown. It set my mind ablaze!
9/10
