Great film, perfect ending (?) to an awesome trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2012)

This was a great movie, and kept me on the edge of my seat for 2hrs and 45min. It was gripping, pretty much true to the comic with some differences, and had surprisingly politically relevant undertones.
As an batman fanatic I was excited to hear Bane would be in this movie. I think the last time he was portrayed in a batman film he was put to shame, displayed as a brainless giant with a IQ of 6. Bane is a smart, vicious, and powerful villain. And Tom Hardy did great portraying him. I wish in the end they didn't reduce him to a bodyguard to Talia, Ras Al Gul's daughter, but I can overlook it because he was portrayed perfectly throughout the film. Also Anne Hathaway nailed Catwoman perfectly. She definitely broke out of her usual character. And of course Christian Bale, great Batman. Also the introduction of a Robin character gives me hope for future batman films. Not really accurate comic book wise but maybe they will expand on it in the next film.
The story was riveting, good pace, and full of action, suspense, and drama, and an emotional ending. You need to see this film.
