Christopher Nolan does it again!

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2012)

The Dark Knight Rises – CATCH IT (A) It won't be wrong to say that The Dark Knight Rises is the most anticipated movie of the year. The anticipation begun the movement you finished watching the incredible The Dark Knight. Christopher Nolan has not only taken Batman to another level but he somehow changed the whole concept of comic hero and gave them more edge and Gothic attire. The Dark Knight Rises is about the aftermath in Gotham City after death of Harvey Dent and disappearance of the Batman. It's been eight years since Batman disappeared and now a masked man Bane with an evil agenda is taking over Gotham city. Christopher Nolan is a genius and for a movie which runs 165 mints he makes it engaging and very entertaining. Even though it was very hard to understand what Bane was staying most of the time, still its whole Christopher Nolan's notion that makes you excited. Christian Bale is great as Batman yet again and has proved that he is best Batman ever lived. The movie gives lots of dimensions to his character and from grim to Batman to injured and imprisoned. His character goes through a lot in this Batman movie. After Heath Ledger as Joker, Anne Hathaway undoubtedly the best thing happened to this Batman franchise. Anne Hathaway as Selena Kyle steals the show just like The Hulk did in The Avengers. She excels and presents a very excellent combination of action, humor and emotions. The only thing sad is that we won't be able to see her in future as Jewel thief Selena Kyle or Catwoman. Tom Hardy as Bane is perfect, he has the physique for it but Bane's character is complicated and in the end it seems like a fizzle. You see this brutal hardcore man the whole time fearing him and in the end it's revealed that he is nothing but a puppet doing everything on the name of unspoken love. Joseph Gordon Levitt is good even though he did annoy me in the beginning since he was almost in every single shot but in the end his true identity in the Batman world is revealed and you wonder what it would have been seeing him working along Batman. Gary Oldman, Marion Cotilard, Michael Cane, Juno Temple, Josh Pence, Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman are good in their respective roles. In the End, The Dark Knight Rises is a great entertaining movie. Even though, the movie is flawed and features one of the most horrible deaths of all time. Still Christopher Nolan has been able to capture the true essence of Batman and also made us sit and get anxious throughout 165mints. I must say the last scene brings a full fledged smile on your face and you just cannot stop cheering. Highly Recommended!
