In conclusion, this film is a gorgeous reminder that great writing and direction can enhance any movie-going experience, even superhero movies, which are usually thought of as mindless entertainment. Nolan creates a grand, dirty, engrossing world, and his action sequences just hum. Extremely well editing and sound use really develop many of the movie's action scenes, so it's not just explosions and visuals like in many other movies.

The movie's soundtrack is terrific and really exemplify's many of the movie's scenes.

The dialogue between the character's are intelligent and highly believable. The movie's action sequences are spectacularly well created and very intense. At a running time of almost 3 hours, the film never becomes dull, which is pretty impressive. The Dark Knight Rises is is emotionally riveting and amazing to view. Everyone is so great, the dynamic scenes between the actors are so well done, so well written, and so well directed. Anne Hathaway as Catwoman/Selina Kyle is a scene stealer. Tom Hardy as Bane is utterly terrifying, at times, and completely ominous. He gives such a powerful performance, he really ought to be considered for an Oscar nomination. Michael Cain is fantastic, as he always is. Christian Bale, of course still makes is a great Batman. The film contains a fine cast of talented actors. The editing, sound, score, visuals, direction and action are all top notch. The movie exceeded my expectations in terms of action, and entertainment. What a production! This is a true cinematic experience, to behold. Will the same happen with the 3rd and last film, 'The Dark Knight Rises'? Quite simply, Yes! My big expectations were once again, blown away. Then after my huge expectations for, 'The Dark Knight', Christopher Nolan blew my expectations to the dust.

However viewing the 2005 Christopher Nolan production, I was pleasantly shocked. Not being a huge fan of superhero movies, I didn't have much expectations for Batman Begins.
