The Dark Knight Rises 2012

There are not many excellent trilogies around. The original Star Wars trilogy is one. The Lord of the Rings is another. I would also count the Godfather movies as one of these. Maybe even the Back to the Future trilogy if you are feeling generous.

Nolan's Batman trilogy rates near the very top for me.

The Dark Knight Rises, as the third installment, ends up between the other two when it comes to enjoyment, but that's only because of Ledgers magnificent Joker in the second one. Bale has been an exceptional Batman throughout the trilogy, and in my book, delivers his best in this one. The story is arguably the darkest of the three, but also the best in my opinion. It delivers both in excitement and closure...and even new beginnings.

The Dark Knight Rises can certainly be enjoyed by itself, but as most trilogies, it's at its very best when enjoyed together with the other two.

There's not much else to say really...
