The Dark Knight Rises Review

After a fantastic second installment in this trilogy, Nolan yet again comes up with a masterpiece. Yes, the expectations were high after Heath Ledger's perfect depiction of the Joker and in some senses the movie doesn't live up to it's predecessor, but this film has what the others lacked. Depth, emotion, drama and some brilliantly choreographed action scenes. The direction is amazing, as is expected from Nolan. Bale is back to his best after his slump in The Dark Knight and Gary Oldman and Joseph Gordon push up the bar too.

Joker's absence is surely missed throughout the movie, but unlike the last movie, which was solely carried forward by Ledger and the other characters just revolving around him, this one has better character development.
