Review by murakisadao

I read both good and bad reviews of TDKR. Personally I'm with the good guys. Also I consider unfair the comparison between TDK with TDKR. I think the last is the logical consequence of the previous. BB TDK and TDKR becomes a solid trilogy, connected with much care. I remember that TDK was a kind of never-ending spiral of unfortunate events, and one can easily feel that it's impossible to become the things worse than this. TDKR shown to me how wrong I was, during the first 2/3 of the movie, almost 120 consecutive minutes of increasing depress and darkness (one can easily remember another masterpiece, in spite of it's different genre: Polansky's The Pianist, and the low-motion-destruction of the way of life of the polish Jews.). Yes, there's one disturbing gap in the movie: the unrealistic last breath of Miranda Tate (unusual in a great actress like Marion Cotillard), but it's not enough to condemn this masterpiece as I read in many reviews. The great message of Nolan's trilogy is: Batman was not alone. Bruce Wayne never could become Batman without the support of Gordon, Fox and Alfred. It's a beautiful statement of friendship and loyalty. Congratulations Christopher. Making another Batman move became a very difficult challenge for the next generations of directors.
