!!..The Dark Knight Rises review..!!

Well, I finally got to see the movie today.
And there is no needless to say I loved it. Nolan in the past few years has risen to a level of film-making that is beyond boundaries of measurement. He is a film maker who knows exactly what he is doing and how it will come out to be.

Made on an enormous budget of $ 250 Million, one of the costliest films ever justifies every drop of that money. Such brilliantly organized set pieces blow your mind away. Absolutely beautiful.

Screenplay is what Nolan masters at. This film is very intense. Not because of a particular character like the Joker in The Dark Knight but because a crippled, used to be superhero has to stop a whole city from falling apart.

The fisrt half is all drama, basically it is a build up to the epic saga waiting to be unfold. It does take its time but it's worth the patience.

The villain here is Bane, a mercenary trained by the same Ras 'Al Ghul that Bruce Wayne received his training. Tom Hardy portrayes the character convincingly and his beefed up body does prove to be a tough challenge for the masked superhero.

Officer Gordon also plays a vital role in saving the city and Selina(Catwoman in comic books) is a nice addition as well. Surprising was the character of Officer Blake who understands early what is really going on.

But, during the action sequences the show stealer were the AWESOME gadgets and the impossibly good vehicles. ;-)

Yes. Bane is no match to The Joker.
Yes. TDKR is not better than TDK.
but TDKR is an excellent film in its own right with a much larger perspective than the previous two. At stake here is the whole city of Gotham.

And Yes. It indeed is a perfect finale to the Batman trilogy.

The ending of the film was the best part... see it if you haven't for the surprises.

Go watch it!!

 Rating- ***.5
