The Dark Knight Rises may very well be one of the greatest
movies I’ve ever seen, but I’m getting ahead of myself. The story was gripping
putting Gotham City in the hands of yet another madman, forcing Batman to save
it from certain destruction. And the city is certainly in danger this time
around and making Batman take to some unlikely allies in order to save it. The
score, music and bass add to the intensity and give viewers an excessive amount
of goosebumps (or was it just me?) A very big thanks to Hans Zimmer for the
chilling sounds.
Christian Bale’s great
portrayal of an older, beaten Bruce Wayne, who must train to comeback to battle
one of his greatest enemy Bane, is by far his best performance of the trilogy
and only adds to the dramatic and intense moments of the film. On the other
hand we have Tom Hardy who also played his role of the “unbeatable” Bane quite
nicely, may not have been as intriguing as Ledger’s Joker, was still a great
villain who should not be taken for granted mentally and especially physically.
Bane’s character is explored deeply, as he was in his initial comic debut,
which only added to his appeal on screen. Many believed that Anne Hathaway’s
Selina Kyle would “ruin the feel of the film”. While she didn’t necessarily
steal the show, her character was interesting, enjoyable to watch of course,
and “anti-hero” you can cheer for and above all, a positive addition to the
series. John Blake was a well-used addition to the film’s universe. While Bruce
Wayne was off doing (well I cant say specifically what without ruining the plot
but it was important no doubt) Blake remained in Gotham, dealing the problems
closer to home. Blake acts as the “second hero” and the second protagonist that
fans will soon enjoy watching and hope comes out victorious.
All in all, The Dark
Knight Rises was very close to The Dark Knight in terms of “greatness” and is
considered a completely awesome movie, Batman fan or not. It is without a doubt
the second greatest superhero movie (behind TDK of course) and is the most
thrilling and intense of all three Batman films. Any true Batman fan will
completely fall in love with this picture and any non-superhero fan cannot deny
that this movie is something to behold.
