'The Dark Knight Rises' a fitting end to fantastic trilogy

Parting is such sweet sorrow. Director Christopher Nolan completes his dark and brooding trilogy based on the DC Comics crime-fighter in suitably grandiose fashion, delivering not only the longest film in the series but also the most brutal, violent and satisfying.

Replete with more than an hour of footage shot on IMAX cameras to enhance picture quality and truly immerse the audience in the pulse-quickening action, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ ends Nolan’s tenure on a giddy high.
