An epic end to an epic trilogy!

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2012)

Right, first of all, to all of you haters out there who have labelled this film with such poor reviews....you must have watched the first two, so why on earth did you waste your time with this one just to give it such a rough time reviewing it! You knew what you were in for!
OK, the review.....this was indeed a fitting end to a fantastic trilogy. Trilogy's over the years are normally boring you to tears by the time the 3rd film comes along and there hasn't been a decent trilogy from first film to third since LOTR. But there is no doubt this is trilogy of the decade!! The acting from all concerned was superb. Bale, what a fantastic Bruce Wayne he has been! In this we see how trying his best to save gotham has taken its physically and mental toll on Wayne and the batman. He is bruised, battered and tired and you can feel that there is going to be an end to this batman and he is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice! Bale, the perfect choice to play the caped crusader!
Caine, what a performance! His portrayal of Alfred throughout has been brilliant but in this we see how much Wayne means to him and Caine squeezes out every ounce of emotion as he tries to convince Wayne not to take on Bane for fear of losing him! An excellent performance and a pleasure to watch!
Hardy, playing the ultimate villain. Nowhere near as crazed or manic as the joker and in no way unpredictable but Hardy played Bane brilliantly. You can't tell me that you would not fear this man?!?! Bane had strength, speed, an army, and intelligence! The only enemy of the Bat to beat him. The two fights they do have you feel every punch, kick and strike each of them throw at each other. Batmans fury as he tries his damnedest to beat Bane in the sewer fight was awesome!
Hathaway, she did indeed surpass herself in this with the best catwoman to date! Just perfect! Oldman, Freeman and Lewitt were all equally as fantastic!
What Nolan has done with this comic book hero, is move him away from the cheesy, far fetched stuff and made him believable. This is certainly what us comic book geeks have been waiting for and it has indeed been worth the wait!! I wish I could write more but I feel I would not have enough time to review this film as much as I would like. All I will say to you is, watch this film and it will blow you away! Well done to all concerned with making this film! The true fans salute you!!!
