Purely Epic

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2012)

I went into this movie expecting a movie of Batman Begins' standards (good but not incredible), but I left the movie with my mind blown because of this movie's purely epic levels!
The Dark Knight Rises has a very well planned story line that is not only VERY entertaining but complex. Tom Hardy's portrayal of a very different type of Bane is just amazing, he is scary and intimidating and has a terrifying sense of humor in just the right spots whilst also pulling off a level of military-like intelligence. However I did find it quite hard to understand what Bane was saying in some scenes where he was speaking quietly.
Anne Hathaway's portrayal of a more realistic Catwoman is quite impressive seeing as it is very different to the roles she usually plays (giggly and princess like).
The big action scenes go to the height of heights without going too over the top; chases move fast and include storyline, and the villainous plots are massive without being stupidly unrealistic.
Overral I think this is the perfect end to an amazing trilogy, it reflects on the previous two films a lot and does absolute justice to Christopher Nolan's version of the Batman universe.
The Dark Knight Rises will impress you at the least, and blow you away at the most!
