Good Film but No Classic...

Rating: 7/10 (7 August 2012)

And so, after fours years since Batman went on sabbatical after the demise/incarceration of Harvey Dent and The Joker, respectively, Gotham is at one and at peace with itself. Will this peace last? Of course not as the people of Gotham City face their biggest threat yet in the form of thuggish heavy, Bane (Tom Hardy) and his entourage of equally destructive goons. Firstly this movie suffers slightly in cramming too many plot strands into it and the movie is too long as a result. The movie is thoroughly entertaining, nonetheless and Ann Hathaway, as the Catwoman is a surprise in that she's good. Where the film is not as good as the others is that the characterisation so present in the first two, is not there and so actors are wasted (Marion Coutillard and Morgan Freeman). The plot twists may surprise and the effects are jaw dropping but whilst this movie is entertaining, will not last long in the mind.
