Overall View of The Dark Knight Rises

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2012)

I have never been big into Batman, but since I watched Batman Begins I have begun to appreciate the effort Christopher Nolan puts into his films. The Dark Knight Rises however I felt was a let down from The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight had the edge of keeping the audience on the edge of their seat, as we watched the Jokers plans unfold and the spontaneous personality of the Joker easily makes it one of the best movies ever made in my opinion. The Dark Knight Rises does not exceed my expectations and leaves me rethinking a lot of the movie. The path of the movie seemed predicable, and I was able to guess the ending rather than have to watch it to see if I was right. Christian Bale put up another fantastic performance and Tom Hardy acted through his eyes which just goes to show how much of a great actor he is. A great movie, but in my opinion it was a let down.
