Batman the Dark Knight Rises
Scene; set in the city of Gotham, the finale of the batman trilogy was in my opinion stands on its own as the best of the bunch. You can see how Christopher Nolan was working towards this and he definitely delivered. Bruce wayne is a recluse, being scarred both physically and mentally by his past experiences with the joker and Harvey Dent.
Tom Hardy acting as Bane, for me, he was the highlight of the entire movie. He had a very strong presence and unlike the typical villains, Bane was actually frightening in the film. He couldn't use his face to express emotion because of the mask but Tom's performance was so brilliant I was actually frightened by him! Anne Hathaway also blew me away. I liked her as an actress but I really couldn't see her as Catwoman. The previews with her in it just wasn't convincing me that she is Selina Kyle. I was proven wrong, She was absolutely amazing as the character. I still prefer Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman but Anne is close second. Joseph Gordon Levitt, I didn't expect nothing less from him. I've always liked Joseph Gordon Levitt ever since I saw him in G.I Joe.
Christian Bale gave probably his best performance in any film he's done. He was great as a broken Bruce Wayne. Michael Caine, I felt was a little weak in this movie. When he cried both times in the movie, I just wasn't buying it. I don't mean I didn't like him in it, I just don't think he was better in this than the others. Marrion Cotillard, I have never liked her. She was weak in Inception and I think she was slightly better in this film. I did like the twist involving her though. Morgan Freeman was good as always, He isn't a bad actor. But, this trilogy didn't showcase his acting abilities a lot. Although, I felt he was the heart of the entire trilogy.
I felt the writing was also the best out of the entire trilogy. It had me on the edge of my seat literally in every exciting part of the film. It wasn't as clever as The Dark Knight but it definitely does what a movie like this is suppose to do.
Direction: Christopher Nolan, his vision for the Batman franchise not only brought new life in the franchise but also showed that not all comic book movies and characters are as light hearted and fun as a character like Spider-Man.
Editing: The editing keeps the story flowing as it should. No confusing fights, nothing dragging.
The fight choreography is great. The fights in Batman Begins were a little weak and there was hardly any fighting in The Dark Knight. The fights that were there were hardly better than Batman Begins. I think the fighting here is brutal as it should be, on the edge of your seat, scary fighting. Especially the first encounter between Batman and Bane. I was actually a little bit surprised when Bane broke the bat. Believe me, deep inside I was all excited but at the same time I was in shock and a little saddened for Batman.
The Dark Knight Rises is without doubt, the best of the trilogy and perfectly ends what I feel is the greatest trilogy I have ever seen. Powerfully performances, strong script and a director who knows what he is doing. The Dark Knight Rises left me with happiness in my heart in the end despite my fear through out the movie. I feel this is a must see in the pictures – 8/10
