Review
While it still carries some loyalty to the Batman comic series and ingenious writing, 'THE DARK KNIGHT RISES' was sophisticated but a little bit shocking and it definitely runs as second best to the last movie 'The Dark Knight' Where do I start with this unbelievable superhero picture, the portrayal of the villain Bane is better than the one in 'Batman & Robin' because he is more menacing and intelligent. Tom Hardy is appropriate for playing the masked brute that we know from the Batman comic issues and cartoons. I praise Anne Hathaway's performance as Catwoman and she does it differently than Michelle Pfeiffer's dark and villainous interpretation and the continued acting by Christian Bale of which is fairly similar to his previous acting in the last two Batman movies.

All I can say is step aside Tim Burton, Christopher Nolan is in the house and I don't know whether to say that 'THE DARK KNIGHT RISES' is either the third or final film instalment to this masterpiece trilogy. It must be a conclusion to the shadowy masked hero character.

Star rating: (5/5) Best Movie Ever

  2. I finally watched it the other day and I really enjoyed it, one of my new favorites. Definitely lived up to the high stanards set by The Dark Knight, although it is hard to say which is the better movie. Personally I enjoyed The Dark Knight Rises more despite a few minor plot holes but I disagree with either choice because they are both great movies. Also the ending was fantastic, I do not think it could have ended any better than it did. *spoiler warning anyone who has not seen the movie* I actually liked what what Nolan to have Robin in the movie, I just hope that they will be reboot the franchise like DC said they would.
