The Perfect Superhero Movie

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2012)

The Dark Knight Rises, the most anticipated film of the last few years I guess. And boy.... Christopher Nolan knows how to end a trilogy.
The movie starts out really slow developing how Gotham has turned out to be after Harvey Dent's death and the Batman who took a fall for him. As Bane emerges the situation calls for Batman to re-emerge. With the Dark style of the earlier movie Christopher Nolan comes up with a proper super hero movie with the basic concept of hero vs villain, but how this concept is portrayed deserves a standing ovation. With stunning action sequences as well as superb acting from the cast (hats off to Michael Cane), TDKR is more an emotional ride then the previous ones with many surprises popping up in between. Joseph Gordon was also exceptional as he perfectly portrayed the hothead cunning cop. Anne Hathway though performed well, the role of cat woman was a little disappointing. Christian Bale as always delivered a fine performance and Batman got some more limelight. Finally Tom Hardy... No one else could have played Bane this good. He was terrifying and really wanted you to hate him. If you haven't watched the previous movies, you'd feel that there were several plot holes though not big ones.
The ultimate question is was it better than the Dark Knight.... My response would be that both of them should not be compared as they were really different in several aspects. HATS OF FOR CHRISTOPHER NOLAN
