What a conclusion....

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2012)

There are some awesome performances on show here, with Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy and Christian Bale my picks of the bunch. Bane and Selina Kyle are fantastic additions.
The film is different to the previous two in the sense it is less focused on Batman but more on the city, Gotham, and Bruce - whose story is very deeply explored. His 'inner conflicts' with the death of Rachel and feeling helpless in the fight for Gotham is really, really good.
The film does, however, have its flaws, but really they are very in minor in the grand scale of things. The second Bat vs. Bane fight leaves a little to be desired and the introduction of numerous new characters means they can't all be well fleshed out. The film really could be much longer!
A few Easter Eggs for the fans too, with a nod to Killer Croc and the Lazarus Pit, which a few will appreciate!
Overall, a perfect end to one of the greatest trilogies ever, and my favourite. It's a huge achievement with tons of twists that really surprised me - I did not think the story was predictable at all like a few are saying. The action is immense too - some really incredible scenes. As the end to a trilogy, it's incredible.
