Trilogies often tend to end badly...BUT NOT THIS ONE!

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2016)

I can not be more pleased! This movie not only kept me on edge for 3 hours, but it made my entire day better. Every story should crave to be written like that and I salute Christopher Nolan for his outstanding directing skills. Not a single dull moment! BRAVO!
Christian Bale for the 3rd time was a brilliant Batman. I have a problem now, I fear. After this memorable, nuanced and brilliant performance I can't imagine Batman as anyone else!
Then I heard the name "Selena Kyle" and I was like "No, not again. She has already been done before." But Anne Hathaway as Catwoman brought so much intensity to the scenes she was in, that I had to hold my breath the whole time. She completely changed my mind and I think her Catwoman was far better than Michaelle Pfeifer's. And I loved the heels! "Everything Batman can do, I can do in heels, you know!"
I'm just going to quickly mention the Batman crew, as I got used to calling them: Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Caine - thanks for being the comic relief or the emotional support and family to Batman. Also, thanks for making it believable, that there are still good people in Gotham and it needs to be saved because of them. These actors brought true heartbeat to the movie!
Lastly, I want to mention Tom Hardy as Bane. I saw him in Mad Max: Fury road and for me he should've gotten a few more lines to say. Tom Hardy in this movie was absolutely BRILLIANT, TERRIFYING AND BELIEVABLE! I think I'll have nightmares for a while, because of his ominous performance. BRAVO! again. And so, this is my point. Movies should not only use him as one giant pile of muscle. He is very capable of being horrific through his words, too!
All in all, this movie feels like a masterpiece to me, and I hope, to anyone who will ever see it. I'm watching it in 2016, which is 4 years later than everybody else, and here I am, full of hype. This says something for the great editing, performance and directing.
10/10 Excellent
