The Epic Conclusion to Christopher Nolan's Epic Batman Franchise!
What's it about?
The Dark Knight Rises is about Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale) after the events of The Dark Knight. After taking the fall for Harvey Dent's crimes, Batman has never been seen for 8 years. Bruce Wayne became a recluse and stayed at home far away from the eyes of the public. He decided to retire the mantle as he believed Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) and him have won and eliminated organised mob in Gotham City. As Gotham moved on and continued to live and enjoy this time of peace, a new fire rises in the form of the masked mercenary called Bane who plots to terrorise the city. (Tom Hardy). It is up to Bruce Wayne if he decides to unretire and put on the cape one last time in order to save the people and the city he loves most.
What I thought:
Having been a fan of the director Christopher Nolan, I have high expectations for the movie. There's also a lot of hype for this movie as the previous one, The Dark Knight was a major blockbuster all because of our very own Heath Ledger and his legendary performance as Batman's nemesis, The Joker. And did this movie deliver? With a big YES. I was really impressed where the director took this movie. He really upped the scale in every level. Nolan is famous for having a dark tone in his Batman films and this movie got really dark. You feel every single bit of intensity and empathise with the characters. The film also boasts an amazing score, the best score I have ever heard in a movie. Every soundtrack they played matches the tone of the scene so it really sticks to you. I like the fact that they didn't put any background music in Bane and Batman's first fight making the scene powerful and raw. This just shows the brilliance of Nolan's directing abilities as he knows how to make every scene stick. The new villain didn't disappoint as well. Tom Hardy as Bane is really menacing and it just shows his remarkable skill as an actor as you can see the emotion in his face through his eyes alone. He was wearing a mask all throughout the movie so his eyes were really important in showing people his character. This movie just worked in every aspect for me and I truly enjoyed watching this film.
Conclusion:
The Dark Knight Rises in my opinion is one of the greatest superhero films ever created and I would definitely recommend everyone to see it. I have watched the film several times with different set of friends and it didn't grow on me and it just got better everytime I saw it. The film offers everything you want in a superhero movie and more.
Grade:
