Astounding - Best Trilogy EVER

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2012)

When I saw it, I thought "The Dark Knight" was excellent. It did have the single best performance in it, by Heath Ledger, but "The Dark Knight Rises" has the better story.
Yes, this film has plenty of action, but it also has plenty of STORY. It has more depth than a lot of non-"comic-book" dramas provide.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt gives a performance that clearly puts him into position for bigger roles. Christian Bale has grown from the first film into a multifaceted delivery of a Batman and Bruce Wayne.
There is brain and heart to "The Dark Knight Rises," but the fact is that none of the Nolan films stand alone, but are parts of a greater whole which makes them more than most single films deliver.
In many films, there is an exciting first installment to be followed with a lesser sequel and a third film that may or may not rise to the level of the first.
Nolan has given us a trilogy where each film surpasses the predecessor.
If Nolan can bring this kind of storytelling to Superman it may be the first Superman film worth the ticket price.
