Excellent! Tom Hardy & Bane are incredible!

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2012)

If you haven't seen it yet then you are wasting precious time. The movie is excellent. Of course you have the action but it is more than that. This final movie of the trilogy really pushes the Batman character. He is tested physically and psychologically. The events develop in the same time as the character. If you are expecting just dumb action, this is not the movie for you. The cast is excellent and they did their up-most to transmit the pain and anguish the characters are experiencing. Tom Hardy is excellent in the role of Bane. He takes back the reality of the character: he is a general, a strategist and a torturer both physically and psychologically for Batman. He is the ultimate enemy and the biggest surprise ... you will understand at the end.
Tom Hardy had to work with his voice and eyes for this movie and he did an excellent job. At the end when Talia tells Batman the story about Bane, the prison and the excommunication from the league of shadows... the look on his face when she says that he loved her was incredible. His total expression changed. Considering he had a mask on the face and still be able to see the difference says a lot about the actors performance.
You are in for a few surprises that I will not divulge. Let's just say, the isolated Gotham is a sight to behold. It is beautiful and mind-blowing.
I think this is my favourite Batman movie and I am so happy it was not filmed in 3D. Very good choice from Christopher Nolan.
This is my favourite of the three. No offence to Heath Ledger, he was great it The Dark Knight. But for me Bane and Tom Hardy were even greater. Great lines, great tension and great performance.
