A legendary finale to an epic saga

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2012)

Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and now, The Dark Knight Rises, 3 movies, a trilogy that sums up Christopher Nolan's journey as a Batman film maker (for now, as I'm sure he'll be overlooking the reboot for the JL movie). However, this journey was not easy as Nolan had a vision but he needed perfect crew to deliver, to execute the idea that he had. Arguably, the best Bruce Wayne ever, played by Christian Bale, the godly Lucius Fox played by Morgan Freeman, the caring Alfred played by Sir Michael Caine and the just police officer Gordon played by Gary Oldman are the consistent characters throughout the trilogy who just add a touch of magic. The Dark Knight Rises has rightfully summed up the trilogy and have delivered fans what they truly deserved. The action sequences are just top notch. The heart of this film, however is the collective dialogue delivery and the story, of course. With a huge number of twists and turns and a huge concept, one just wonders if nearly 3 hours of this film is enough. Personally, I wish Nolan releases a director's cut which is much longer and has cuts at a normal pace and I'd watch it with a smile. To sum things up, this is a 10 starrer for me and The Dark Knight Trilogy goes in my collection's top shelf.
