I am a big fan of the Batman movies. I like these types of movies because they're violent, gripping, sometimes predictable, fast moving and powerful When crisis threatens Gotham City, Bruce Wayne jumps back into the Batmobile to fight crime. Batman is joined on his quest by an eager orphaned cop a seductive cat burglar, and a violent masked villain. This film was gripping by its colorful cast and numerous plot twists. Nolan used actors that had either appeared in previous Batman films or in his box-office hit Inception, and all of them shone in their respective roles: Tom Hardy was almost unrecognizable in his Bane costume, while Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard were both excellent—and obviously comfortable with Nolan's directing style and the film's dramatic tone. The one actor that gave this reviewer pause was Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle. She has historically been typecast as the girl next door, so it was a shock to watch her steal and fight her way through the City of Gotham. After a few scenes, however, we were convinced that the casting decisions was a good one, as Hathaway portrayed the darker Catwoman role brilliantly. True to Nolan's style, at 164 minutes, this film is fairly long. There were a few times when the movie felt a bit edgy, but the gorgeous action scenes and impressive dialogue really held the audience's attention and kept them on the edge of their seats. However, the time line was a bit unclear at times. Biggest flaw I found was that it was hard to tell whether it had been days or months or years that had passed since the last time a given character had been on screen. Despite the films minor shortcomings, The Dark Knight Rises is exciting, creative, and dark— and well worth a few hours of your time.
