This isn't the end, it is the beginning.

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2012)

What amazes me is how people who saw the film still go on about this being the end. It was the end of the dark knight, not batman. Indeed this is where he is now free to be batman. The entire ending set this up.
Or you could think that he risked life and limb to save the city but next time she is in danger so great he will be sipping wine in Europe while someone else gets on with the job. No chance.
I saw the movie four times in the first week. It truly is amazing.
I have read some ridiculous reviews paying it out. One guy was ranting on that it failed because auto pilot is a real thing, yep you heard right. As if the movie ever suggested it wasn't. There was only a fault that needed fixing as fox had not found the time to get to it.
Ain't it cool went on a massive rant. Truth is if you ever see a movie and it has a positive review from ain't it cool you know the movie is going to suck. So anything they have to say holds zero water.
Truth is that Nolan is an intelligent writer. He makes films that are both visually spectacular and deep on content. The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises being the best of his brilliant work.
And i loved Anne Hathaway. She came across as confident, smart, sexy and competent and yet you also saw here vulnerability. She saved Bruce Wayne and Batman on several levels and vice versa.
I cringed watching Batman and Bane fight it was that good.
And on top of telling such an amazing story Nolan gives the Occupy movement a good hard kick between the legs. Exactly where it deserves.
Hats off To Nolan and all involved in making this one of the greatest movies ever made.
