Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, truly rose above the expectation of fans who waited long enough for the finale of this trilogy. Christian Bale continues to play as Batman in this series and we are not disappointed.
Eight years has passed and John Wayne is in recluse. Batman has been blamed for the death of the D.A. Harvey Dent (from the previous franchise). All is well, until a big bulky stronger-than-steel terrorist, Bane, had devious plans for the whole Gotham City. This drove Batman to once again don the cape and mask to save the city he both hates and loves.
This time, The Dark Knight Rises, reflects a gloomier and darker city. The huge figure of Bane with his scary masked face was a worthy opponent to the more menacing Batman. Cat Woman, played perfectly by Anne Hathaway, is a welcome distraction and a great addition to the dark somber mood of the whole movie. Her beautiful upturned face with her spandex suit plus high heeled boots successfully captivates the audience to be glued on the screen. And the machines..... those wonderful toys of Bruce Wayne had my toes curled every time they go on screen. They are so fantastic! Those toys alone are enough to make it worth your while to go to the movie and line up for this final installment of Batman. I have never seen anything like it, I swear! But what makes this movie a brilliant piece is that it bravely dwells on the different psychologies of men: motivational factors that make men do the impossible, the fear of facing death, embracing responsibilities and the balancing act of love for self and love for others.
The movie is almost 3 hours long, but there was never a dull moment. This finale of Christopher Nolan makes one want to beg for more. But there is hope for all of us yet, as Robin is introduced at the conclusion of the movie.
Five stars for this one!
will be watching this movie soon then ;o)
