The movie I saw was The Dark Knight. There was some mixup between Fandango and Regal theaters. So my five stars is for The Dark Knight, which is what I saw.

This is Nolan's greatest film, not in spectacle but in completeness. This is the best of the trilogy. I truly believe this is the best superhero film of all time. 'A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.' Here's my justification. A complacent Gotham - disaster bubbling under the surface, a waning Bruce Wayne, a tormented Jim Gordon, a curiously forthright Robin, a scheming Selina Kyle, a guilty Alfred, and the knocking of Bane on Batman's door. I truly think these elements were PERFECT for this finale. First time round I wasn't a big fan of this Selina Kyle. I still think Reeves' iteration is better, but this time around I appreciated Hathaway's performance much more. It's actually pretty good, crafting the seductive and feminine with the ruthless (for the most part). Her character works well within the story too. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a great addition, the counterpart to Bruce's state of being and a plucky hero we can get behind. Gary Oldman is such a good actor, I love him so much. Michael Caine also hands in his best TDK performance in this. At the end, his apology to the graves of Thomas and Martha Wayne is heartbreaking. The opening scene is brilliant. The action overall is better, I think, than in either of the previous films. The score is just, sensational. Cold realism in cinematography always works and Nolan's spectacular camerawork, editing, shot choice and set pieces are at their peak as usual. There's moments of subtle comedy, entrancement, gripping action, social commentary, charming character moments from some of the best actors working today.... and the whole film greatly benefits from being a comeback story. Everything is better when it's Bruce getting back into Batmanism, everything's better when old characters and places are revisited. Bruce Wayne, who defeated the Joker, tested one final time. A redemption arc. An absolute breeding ground for a compelling story, a perfect tie-up of a trilogy. Bruce's acceptance of the tragedy of his life, his then relapse into a primal discovery of himself, his then final stand - by far the best journey the trilogy takes us on. 'You do not fear death. You think this makes you strong. It makes you weak. How can you move faster than possible, fight longer than possible, without the most powerful impulse of the spirit? The fear of death.' **** poetry. Also, Tom Hardy as Bane is just as good as the Joker. A menacing force, brimming with cinematic larger than life macho, dominance, an almost calming and spiritual violence. The exploration of terrorism, mob mentality, and rebellion brought about by Bane makes for sharp and visceral entertainment with a massively applicable commentary on the real world. Bane's monologue, over the montage of Gotham tearing itself up from the inside, is riveting. Nolan said that he didn't intend the film to be political, rather about 'primal fears'. I felt this was perfectly paced, never a dull moment, the screenplay cleverly knowing when the story needed to rise and fall, when we needed to see what, and what needed to transpire at the end of it all. There's no doubt a few flaws in this but I loved it, and I'll make its case profusely. Really felt as if Nolan put Bruce first in this, making sure he was done justice, before going wild with the cinematic spectacle. Beautifully, both aspects worked out. Also, one of my favourite details was the burning bat signal. Perfect symbol of Batman's phoenix-like resurrection - born from ashes. This affected me emotionally more than I thought it would, or even could. It's a beautiful story, and somehow I feel as if it's an inspiring story, that can teach us a lot of things. 'You wouldn't say anything to me, nor me to you. But we'd both know that you'd made it.

Drivel from start to finish. Terrible acting, dialogue, plotting. An absolute mess.

Almost 3 hours, it's just some trash, of which Batman is shown for half an hour at most, the film is delayed and secondary, the re-formation of Batman, which we already saw in the first part, was pleased except for the denouement and the final twist with an unexpected antagonist. I consider the disclosure of catwoman insufficient, although Hathaway coped with the role, but her character was not enough for me, if compared with the version of Tim Burton. In general, the ending of the story is too long, it would be possible to shorten it all to at least 2 hours.
