A ferociously satisfying conclusion to The Dark Knight Legend

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2012)

The Dark Knight Rises redefines epic film-making and Nolan shows why he is the best person to call the shots when it is a film based on the caped crusader. He retains the dark theme and goes on to successfully deal with the issues of loss,grief,terror,choice and one man's attempt to prevent his city from being destroyed. Definitely darker and more haunting than its predecessors,The Dark Knight Rises relies on spellbinding special effects,breathtaking action sequences and hard-hitting dialogues to establish its story. The Dark Knight Rises also throws some interesting new characters in the mix. Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Tom Hardy as Bane, Gary Oldman as Commissioner James Gordon, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Officer John Blake played their roles to perfection. Tom Hardy is brilliant as Bane, the physical figure of terror and unstoppable force.
This trilogy had it all - the first was about our inner fears, the second about chaos, and the third about pain! The ending has the audience gasping and that is where Nolan scores. That's why it's called an epic. That's why he's Batman. Everybody's hero. Hans Zimmer has delivered the best background score for this film in the entire trilogy. It is so riveting that it stays with you even after you have left the theater.
A ferociously satisfying end to The Dark Knight Trilogy. The thought of Nolan not returning for another Batman film is saddening but THE DARK KNIGHT RISES deserves the recognition of being the epic conclusion to the best superhero film trilogy of all time!!
