User Reviews
As this movie was the most awaited movie of the decade, I
obviously wanted to watch it as soon as possible. My friend won some contest
online and so, I got to watch it a few days earlier FOR FREE.
The movie is everything you want it to be. The story is very
well told and there is enough of Nolan-kind twists. Tom Hardy has some powerful
lines as Bane but the enhanced voice doesn't work at all. But, he still does
his character justice and performs to his full potential. For the first time in
the trilogy, Batman wasn't the strongest. This gave a chance to Christian Bale
to show off his acting skills without the mask and he did a fine job. The
veterans Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine went about their job as
if it was just another day at the office. But, a major surprise was Joseph
Gordon-Levitt who portrays an ordinary police officer and pulls of an
unexpectedly awesome performance.
The special effects, sound and action were out of the world.
Nolan spent a lot of money and he made it visible in the movie. The movie
connects all the dots from the previous movies and provides a fitting end to
the saga. Although, personally I liked The Dark Knight better. But, TDKR
certainly came very close it.
Finally, I would like to thank Christopher Nolan for
portraying Batman in a way no one ever thought was possible and for making one
the best trilogy of all time.
