Forget the theme , enjoy the heart-thumping action

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2012)

Christopher Nolon is back with last of the Batman trilogy "The Dark Knight Rises". The movie is a typical mass masala Hollywood style where one man fights against all odds to win against the evil forces. With enough adrenaline pumping throughout the movie it sure does make one forget or rather ignore the logical fallacies.Moreover who cares for logic in a superhero movie.
Movie has all the ingredients a commercial entertainer needs to have. Though the movie seem to have taken a pro-capitalistic & anti- communistic viewpoint , who cares in the final analysis when one can see a fallen capitalist Wayne overthrows the dictator of the proletariat in Bane. What other manner can one expect a movie made in USA to portray the war between the haves & havenots. And what else other than heaping praises as if it the most remarkable movie ever made & watching it umpteen times to feed to the Capitalists in USA we people in the developing world are for.
If one forgets the basic premise of the movie (which we would very conveniently do ) movie is treat for the masala movie fans.
Christian Bale reprises his role of Bruce Wayne/ Batman once more. His hard work shows & his acting is flawless. Tom Hardy's Bane more than stands up to him though he is a far cry from Joker (Heath Ledger) from the previous installment. Anne Hathaway is sincere as ever with her alluring charm she does steals the viewers' heart. Others in the supporting cast Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Marion Cotillard does their parts well.
What makes the movie extra special is the background score by Hans Zimmer. It plays a very vital part pumping in the adrenaline in the viewers.
Technically the movie is top class.
Christopher Nolon once again proves that he is master when it comes to making a commercial actioner.If one is able to digest few gimmickry like the prison doctor correcting a dislocated vertebrae (of all bones..!) with just a fist , "The Dark Knight Rises" is an enjoyable movie. Especially for the youth of today who are unconsciously being inoculated with capitalistic ideals , the fun of seeing the Millionaire Bruce Wayne beat the pulp out of those who aspires to create an equal society (albiet they being demonized by a wonderful piece of partisan writing ) is a sell out.
Bottomline: Forget the theme , enjoy the heart-thumping action
