The Dark Knight Rises - Apt conclusion but lacks

The Finale of the Dark Knight trilogy of Christopher Nolan is an awesome conclusion with nerve chilling action scenes and performances but it's not compelling and lacks a certain charisma its prequel had. The film stretches a bit in the first half but it gives a sensational toast for the viewer in the second half. The plot begins where the previous episode left off but after 8 years in the time scale. The caped crusader rises to the demand from seclusion and find himself being dragged behind with the agility he had in the past turning blunt but is faced by a villain with a mysterious and strange agenda for whom Batman means no harm at all. The action scenes of the film looks original that you sit watching it spell bound. Nolan has achieved this quality without the help of 3D which deserves a great round of applause.
The agenda of Bane is replete with brainy aspects of urban terrorism and social anarchy, But referring to words of Joker enacted by Heath ledger in the Dark Knight, Gotham in this episode deserved a better class of criminal. The film only starts to engage you in the second half which causes the detailing of Bane's operation drastically reduced than expected. Both Joseph Gordon Levitt and Anne Hathaway have given a performance better than any of their previous works. Tom Hardy equally shines in the role of Bane but his characterization is not backed up with enough precision. But the film outshines all these short pitfalls with brilliant pieces of action and cinematography. The soul of the film like the previous ones is the score by Hans Zimmer which blends in so perfectly. No body gets a larger share of screen time as it is evenly available for all characters in the film. In the first half the plot has a lighter tint but in the second it serves a hot flavour.

In total the film serves an affable conclusion to the trilogy with a spectacular climax and is a proper farewell to the watchful protector of the Gotham city, The Dark Knight.
