Epic Finale

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2012)

-Does not contain spoilers-
The Dark Knight Rises is Christopher Nolan's thrilling and ground-breaking conclusion to a saga which thrilled us with the evil League of Shadows in 'Batman Begins' and Heath Ledger's phenomenal Joker in 'The Dark Knight'. This movie takes what we the viewers have learnt so far about Batman and the people of Gotham and turns it on its head. How will Gotham cope against its greatest threat yet?
If you thought the star of 'The Dark Knight' was Heath Ledger instead of Christian Bale, then you will not be disappointed in the finale. In proper homage to 'Batman Begins', Nolan takes us on a tour of all that formed a backdrop in the first two movies, from the psychologies of Gotham's finest to the empty desires of the dark knight's foes. A new villain brings the story to a new nadir, as hope seeps from the streets of Gotham. The plan of the anti-hero is made clear and the path of Bruce Wayne becomes a quest for survival and the conquest of fear itself. Terrific writing and amazing acting make 'The Dark Knight Rises' the movie of the year for 2012. And if there is a film out there that deserves a 10/10 rating this year, it is certainly 'Rises'.
Acting 10/10 ... Originality 9.0/10 ... Thrill Factor 10/10 ... Story Quality 9.5/10 ... Action 9.2/10
