Simply put: Nolan knows how to make a film! With the Dark Knight franchise, director Christopher Nolan has shown that it is possible to create not only an amazing superhero movie, but also how to make a spectacular epic film. Don't think of this as simply a Batman movie. It is an epic drama full of stellar acting, tight screenwriting, jaw-dropping special effects, and amazing direction. All the actors are fantastic and the characters are fleshed out. Even the things that one might fear in this movie (Catwoman's costume, Bane's character, how will they end it) are met with the style and sophistication that only Nolan can bring to a film. The only hard part of this movie is deciding whether or not it is better than its predecessor. Go and see it now! And again!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, great direction
