Fantastic in spite of a few flaws

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2012)

**CONTAINS SPOILERS** The plot is mostly predictable with a few minor twists in it and the acting is flawless all across the board. Bane's voice is sometimes hard to understand, I'd say only about 10% of the time and the way he died is upsetting, Batman killing or incapacitating him would have been more satisfying to me. The ending could have been better, Bruce Wayne giving his life to save the people of Gotham would have been the ultimate sacrifice and truly giving them everything, having Alfred sit down at the resturaunt in Florence and think that he sees Bruce until the mans head turns showing that it's not really him and that Bruce is actually dead in my opinion would have been a better ending as it would have the finality needed for a truly great ending while also hitting you harder emotionally. Don't get me wrong, I like happy endings, they make me feel good and sometimes they can be the better way, but Batman sacrificing himself and passing the torch to Robin would have been incredibly sad and an overall more emotional ending.
The movie is great, not quite as good as The Dark Knight in my opinion but none the less a great movie and one of the few trilogies with all great movies.
