[Movie] The Dark Knight Rises

When everyone else leaves you behind, what's left of the faith that's betrayed you?

Let's not be too greedy here - I've had enough of the laments about The Dark Knight Rises being a lacklustre version of The Dark Knight. I believe that every angle, every pixel, every gigabyte of the film happened for a reason. To the undiscerning eye, Bane is an unfinished villain specimen, Bruce Wayne is a weak hero and Selena Kyle fails to shine in leather. It is always to nit-pick out of context, instead of taking a third step back and taking in all the perfect imperfections. How Christopher Nolan put all the broken pieces of Gotham, Bane, Miranda Tate and Bruce Wayne together to roil all our innermost fears is a marvel to behold (don't mind the pun). Nolan also made use of this final chapter to make blatant stabs at bureaucracy, herd mentality and cowardice in the face of fear. The only disappointment? There wont be anymore Christian Bale behind the mask.
