Nolan delivers Amazingly in Dark Knights Rises

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2012)

This is my first of many movies to come.
I am sad at the fact that this is the last of the Chris Nolan Batman film series, because there may never be anyone that can top this amazing Directorial performance...mainly I'm speaking about this film. Dark Knight Rises.
Christian Bale delivered a mastering performance as Bruce Wayne and Batman. When faced against Bane for the first time, he revealed a side about Bruce & Batman that not many people same to remember. Batman is only human.
Tom Hardy was brilliant as Bane. He must have trained for months, because he was bigger than the Batman.
For the first time in all the Nolan Batman series, Batman finally met his true match against a man more physically powerful and bigger than he was. Did I mention he was quite agile for a big man? Bane was no Joker, but Bane was exactly what Joker was not...very, very strong.
The fight sequences between the two were some of the most exciting scenes of the film.
Michael Caine delivered again in his performance as Alfred.
I was surprised to see Morgan Freeman more involved in action sequences this time around, but he did great as Mr. Fox.
As Commissioner Gordon, Gary Oldman played the role perfectly. Personally I still believe that he did a better job with the Gordon character in Dark Knight, but he still did great in this one. I love his reaction at the end when Batman hints his identity to him. Boy was he surprised.
Anne Hathaway, my Goddess...I love you. You are by far the best Catwoman I've ever seen. Yes...even better than Michelle Pfeiffer. She was a devious but extremely sexy and quite intelligent Catwoman.
Joseph Gordon Levitt's performance caught me quite off guard. I was not sure about his character, Blake, until his scenes came up and to be honest, they were exciting. He delivers time and time again and has solidified himself as a potential A-List Actor. I look forward to seeing more movies of his in the upcoming future.
I felt Marion Cotillard's part was quite small compared to Inception, but she came through in the end and wow. She's a beautiful actress who was on her game in this film.
I was very happy to see Liam Neeson return for a few seconds. I always thought he played a great Ra's Al Ghul.
Overall, I plan to continue watching this movie time and time again for the rest of my life. I love this film and the ending to Nolan's vision of his Batman series was in my opinion satisfying.
I'm wondering what the studios plan to do to re-boot the Batman series. Needless to say, it's gonna be almost impossible to top Nolan's Batman films.
I'm an aspiring film maker and needless to say...Nolan is someone I look up to when it comes to film making. Thank you Chris Nolan for bringing back the life the Batman films needed.
10 out 10. This film is a must see.
