Christopher Nolan really outdid himself on this one, and so did everyone else involved in this movie. The trilogy is easily one of the best of all time, and I barely have any complaints.

Before I explain the good parts of the film, I'd like to discuss the one problem I think several people will have with it. The story. I, personally, didn't have an issue with it. In fact, I thought it was very well delivered. However, if you are looking for a more "Classic Batman" movie, this one isn't for you. Scarecrow doesn't show himself fully in costume until around the last third of the movie, and the film doesn't have Robin either. It focuses more on Bruce Wayne and the amount of effort and redemption it took for him to become the masked vigilante we all know and love.

If you're more interested in the violence and the criminals in the film, I'd recommend "The Dark Knight" or "The Dark Knight Rises." Or, go check out Batman 1989. Absolute classic.

Now that I've cleared the issues with the movie, I'd like to discuss the positive.

Christian Bale's performance as Batman is absolutely badass. The way he explores himself throughout the movie is such an emotional journey. Adding onto this as well, Alfred and Lucious, the two sympathetic older characters, are both absolutely amazing, lovable characters. Gordon is also a pretty good character with an interesting relationship with the Batman.

Overall, this is one of my favorite movies of all time, but it doesn't beat the rest in the series.
