    The Dark Knight Rises (2012) on IMDb

    Have you ever imagined what lies beyond the point where our mind stops thinking? Has it ever occurred to you  that mind is very fragile and that it can withstand pressure to some certain extent? And have you ever thought what Cinema can do to you? Cinema holds the capacity to motivate the generations, to change minds and do not take me wrong it holds the capacity to manipulate masses. We are living in a world where we have to derive pleasure out of what we believe in. Cinema has earned itself beliefs and faiths of mankind over a century and so and there are some demigods who make sure that this string of faith and belief never breaks.

    Christopher Nolan is one such demigod who has never failed his followers. Movie to movie he has outdone himself. He has been pushing the viewers closer to experience of infinite level every time and this time he has hit the infinity with The Dark Knight Rises. We do not know where infinity is but he has surely achieved it. Such presentation, such grandeur, such chaos - who would have ever thought to experience this much? I never had and nor the whole fraternity did ever. The Dark Knight Rises is a cinematic phenomenon which could have never been imagined. Nolan has a great vision. A gift from Nolan to all who believe in cinema. Simply epic.  

    The movie had some great breath-taking performances. Christian Bale has done every bit of justice to the Batman role. The Catwoman was simply fabulous. She though initially seems an unnecessary character but has a great role to play. The movie saw the birth of the greatest villain in the history of cinema - Bane. So so powerful. Such a terrifying character. He will shatter your every expectation. Let's not compare him to the Joker, but I can certainly say no one else could play the Bane's role better. With a haunting creepy voice and great build-up his character has threatened Batman too much. And Hans Zimmer is a God himself. Music is one of most important aspect of this movie. Zimmer has given his best shot with this one. The music will keep you pumping every time. 

    This movie is a perfect masterpiece which contains every element of a great movie-making. No flaws whatsoever. It will keep you connected with the characters, with the story and puzzling your mind about what's going to happen next. For the entire time you will feel like you are taking a ride to some world else. You will be stunned-  moment to moment, time to time. You can not complain about your mind's inability to not to grasp what all you are dished out on the screen. Eventually the movie will have you wholly satisfied and relaxed leaving no doubts at all. What a perfect way to finish what he had started in 2005 with Batman Begins! I can just go on and on and talk about this movie for my whole life. Nolan has set a perfect example for all other film-makers. Let's see what future has in it for us. But it would seriously take a lot of potential to beat this legend Nolan has created. Nolan, you shall ever be blamed for the chaos that you have injecteded in the minds of millions.
