Dark Knight Rises - Review

Rating: 7/10 (15 August 2012)

At first I have to say I've never read any Batman comics, so maybe people who did, watch the Dark Knight Rises in a different way. I've only seen Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. I think that DKR isn't a movie that everyone likes nor a movie that everybody hates.
I'm not sure about that movie I watched yesterday evening. Bane's voice was incredibly annoying, but I've seen the German version, and the original version always sounds better. Maybe I've to watch DKR again in English. But I'm generally not fond of the character Bane, to be honest.
Like in the other movies in the trilogy, I love to see Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and especially Christian Bale. Their performances were awesome. I don't know what I should think about Anne Hathaway. Well, she's hot, but I wasn't that fond of her acting.
So, about the movie itself: I didn't like the first half of the film, it all seems to be arranged. Then things become more interesting, but the main story is just way worse than DK, and I prefer Batman Begins to DKR. If you haven't seen BB yet and you want to watch DKR, watch BB before. DKR has more to do with BB than with DK, by the way.
To sum up I have to say, that DKR is NOT a bad film, but the last movie of that awesome trilogy SHOULD be a highlight, but DKR wasn't. I don't think I will ever watch DKR again.
