What I Think

• Pro's

- The movie pulls all stops. By far the best movie of the year so far. 
- It has the best ending out of all of the other Batman movies. It's so clever that it's not worth spoiling. However, there is the whole thing over whether Batman dies or not. Regardless of ending, the movie would've still worked for me.
- It's the most emotionally invested out of the three.
- It finishes a good trilogy and fulfills a proper character arc. Batman gets to finally be the symbol and idea of hope that he promised in the other movies.
- Bane is a pretty good villain. Reminds me a lot like Darth Vader, hence the respirator like thing, deep voice, his unpredictability, and choking.
- They used Selina Kyle's role in a proper way as an anti heroine. Her character is strong and interesting and her body isn't exploited.- Batman is not shown so much but when he does, it feels great. The audience waited four years for him to return, much like how Gotham had to wait eight years for Batman to return.
- The conflict in the movie heavily affects Batman both physically and emotionally. The conflict over Gotham City is on a grand scale. Almost war like.
- Batman's voice improves. Thus showing that Nolan listened to the audience.
- The movie was in 2D and was filmed with real IMAX. Plus, CGI was replaced with practical special effects.

• Con's

- The exposition was a bit long and it didn't feel like a Christopher Nolan movie. However, it starts to pick up.
- There are some plot-points that do sometimes detract you from the movie. Such as, how in one scene would change from day to night, and why Bruce Wayne is limping. This is all due to the fact that Nolan's film go at a really fast pace and they tend to not explain every plot-point.
- Alfred is absent in most of the movie. He is a very crucial character and I wanted to know what's going on with him during Bane's siege.
- Bane's voice is kind of hard to hear and it sounds unrealistic being that it sounds added.
