The colossal size of the film is a spectacle to behold, but surprisingly you don't get lost with all the explosions and extravagant action scenes, like in other films,(AKA Transformers, or POTC.) If one were to gripe, and I suppose there will never be a film made that one cannot find a point at which to grip, it is painfully long running time here. Now I know most will miss Heath Ledger as the Joker.(I know I do) I hope people don't compare Tom Hardy's performance to Heath Ledger's, its completely unfair and the two characters are very different. Marlion Cotilliard, Michael Cane, Gary Oldman, and others all did well in their respective roles. The terror caused by him, is completely believable and quite menacing. One of the best superhero movie villains, I've ever seen. Tom Hardy was the main villain "Bane" completely shattered my expectations. Anne Hathaway was completely engrossing, she became "Catwoman", just like Michele Pfeiffer did, although their interpretations were very different, both were equally effective. Christian Bale, as always is great as Batman. The film featured excellent performances, by all the cast. The movie's score high-lites many of its incredible scenes, and at times, it takes your breath away. The movie exceeded my expectations in terms of action, and entertainment. This is a true cinematic experience, to behold. The movie is incredibly well made, its huge production is quite breathtaking to view. I had the honor of watching TDKR during a screening and was completely blown away! Christopher Nolan's third film in his Batman trilogy doesn't disappoint.
