So last night I went to see The Dark Knight Rises. I went in to the movie with excitement but the excitement slowly went away throughout the movie being honest I mean its not like I didn't like it I did! I just ended up a bit bored at some points.
It's eight years after any sight of Batman around the streets of Gotham.The injured Billionaire Bruce Wayne discovers that he is needed, despite his tarnished reputation after taking the rap for Dent's crimes. He feels he can't just sit there in hiding while watching his city melt to pieces from Banes work. The police force are struggling and the city needs a hero now more then ever.
Bruce Wayne maybe a bit out of his league with Bane though, after so many years hiding away in his precious mansion he just expects he can make a comeback and it will all be okay while the ones he holds closest watch on painfully.
As for Bane I have mixed feelings on, I thought he was a good villain but maybe would have been better on a different movie I don't think he made quiet the effect the Joker did. I feel he was too easily tossed to the side. Although he had some good lines out of him which were hard to hear with his 'mouth guard'. I thought it got a bit much after awhile to me he resembled a mix between Hannibal Lecter and Dark Vader.
A character I did love throughout the movie to my surprise was Cat woman/Selena played by Anne Hathaway, I really didn't think an actress that was so used to chick flicks could pull off a role like this. I thought she was a lot of the life at the start of the movie.I also thought her sidekick Jen played by the quirky actress Juno Temple was a bit unnecessary but I liked her. I mostly liked Cat woman because deep down she wanted a fresh start she wanted good , that was strange coming from one of the baddies.
A character I can't go without talking about is Officer Blake played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I thought he was a brilliant character and Joseph Gordon-Levitt played the role very well.
The special effects in the movie were simply amazing. The explosions had me on the edge of my seat. The photography of it was breathtaking. It was possibly some of the best special effects I've ever seen.
This movie answered a lot of the unanswered questions of the past two movies. It joined a lot of the dots of Batman Begins.
This may be the end of Nolan's Trilogy but I do not think it is the end of Batman.It was defiantly worth watching!
Here are some of my favourite quotes from it :
Bane : You only adopted the dark I was born there The shadows betray you because they belong to me
Alfred: I never wanted you to come back to Gotham. I always knew that there was nothing for you here except pain and tragedy.
Selena Kyle : There's a storm coming.
Bane : Let the games begin.
Thanks for reading,
