Batman: The Dark Knight Rises is a remarkable conclusion.

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2014)

With the massacre in Colorado, accompanied by the usual brawls between fans of Marvel and DC on the internet, even with Batman: The Dark Knight Rises (The Dark Knight Rises) debuting a week later in Brazil, little has been seen talking in the film itself.
So here we go: the final installment of director Christopher Nolan trilogy, like its predecessors, is a different kind of comic book adaptation. Yes, comic elements are there, but how they emerge in the plot, watching every sensation, connecting us emotionally to events is more common to dramas and the like.
This time we have a Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) more sentimental, more demanding interpretation of the actor. For years retired from his heroic identity, is forced to wear his uniform again when Gotham City begins to be attacked by thief Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) and the resourceful and dangerous Bane (Tom Hardy).
The scope of all, as one would expect from a conclusion, is greater. For more realistic that the franchise has tried to be, this film comes much closer to the comics with a greater threat, more action, more epic all. It is not uncommon to note elements of famous comic character, as, of course, The Fall of the Bat, but also the Messiah, No Man's Land, The Legacy of Demon and even the classic Batman: The Dark Knight by Frank Miller.
With a somewhat slow start, the movie takes to pick up pace, but when caught, their almost three hours did not seem so much, even more considering the amount of exploited elements. All characters gain their space, some being detailed for the first time, the case of Alfred Michael Caine.
Gary Oldman remains great, stealing the scene whenever possible in the skin of Commissioner Gordon. Lucius Fox Morgan Freeman continues his tirades fun, but this time with much greater participation, including some more serious scenes.
The Bane Tom Hardy recovers the original tone of the character: not just a brute, but someone who plans every move carefully. But it is a point that is being criticized: the voice of the villain, which was unintelligible in the trailers was re-dubbed. Thus, in addition to clearer, became more threatening, but the dubbing was not successful at all times - sometimes there is no sound, even though we realize that the character is speaking and gesturing.
Anne Hathaway gives life to a Catwoman (although she is clearly not called by that nickname) perfect. The character is provocative, entertaining and ambiguous in some extent. The essence of Selina Kyle was found: nothing too tragic origin, special powers or sheer villainy, that's the nicer version of the character in the flesh, one that Catwoman has fun with what he does and transiting between good and evil.
The cop John Blake, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, stands out a lot. The character offers a new perspective on Gotham and its problems at times looking like a middle ground between Batman and Gordon. It until it becomes something even greater.
Being the last film in the series, it is expected that Rises tie the ends. And does it very well. Basically all aspects of mythology are addressed and find some kind of conclusion. And there is room for many surprises along the way. Indeed, the proof that a movie is engaging is when, despite having prior knowledge of rumors and elements already shown in the comics, so busy that we forget all that, surprising us anyway.
Another point that deserves a little criticism is action. When the choice of Bane, it was explained that the idea was to create a physical threat to Batman. But it goes down in combat scenes between the two, who can not afford the epic tone needed thanks to the limitations of movement of the armature of the hero. However, this failure is compensated in many other points, as the agility of Catwoman, this is the movie with more action in the franchise.
The soundtrack by Hans Zimmer remains impressive. Themes that, in isolation, might sound strange and meaningless, placed in certain scenes make everything more epic, and most exciting, contributing to the identity of the characters, without ever leaving aside the issues of the previous films, cleverly "embedded" in new compositions.
Batman: The Dark Knight Rises is a remarkable conclusion. The outcome may result in estrangement fans of the characters, but it's always good to remember that this is indeed an end, something that rarely happens for real in comics, or take different paths is only natural in this case. After three great movies, as much as the story has found an end, there is no way deviate from our thoughts more sequels after all the Gotham City created this trilogy still has much to offer, and the outcome leaves us with even more desire to know what might come after.
