The end of a trilogy that resurrected Batman to the cinema.

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2016)

This is the last film of Christopher Nolan's trilogy: now, Batman will return to stop Bane, a terrorist who is determined to obliterate Gotham City. The film has screenplay by Christopher Nolan (who also ensures the direction) and Jonathan Nolan. It has the participation of Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Tom Hardy, Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway and Gary Oldman.
This is the end of a trilogy that has kept most of its technical and casting team, managing to reach a visual and technical unit very positive for the whole of the final work. This is an action movie, purer than the predecessor, where psychological and dramatic themes had an enormous importance for the development of the plot. Here, as happened in the previous films, we should highlight the dose, accurate and flawless, of special visual and sound effects, as well as the carefully thought out sets and costumes, and the excellent photography. The cast was up to the job and Bale stood out again for the best reasons, giving his character a pleasant and well achieved credibility. Anne Hathaway was a surprise, revealing to be a much better Catwoman than most of the actresses that preceded her in the role, thanks to a discreet but very stark sensuality and credible costumes, much less far-fetched and sexist than the previously seen in cinema (but that is mostly merit of technical team and the way the writers rethought this character). Thus, although the movie is longer than the usually found in theaters, the public doesn't have a clear perception of the passage of time by being so well entertained.
Thus ended the Batman trilogy, which was finally able to give new life to this character, very mistreated by other films and sequences. Christopher Nolan has proved to be an excellent director and a very focused and realistic writer, managing to take the players they had better and guiding the technical requirements of harmonious and cohesive way. After all, comic-book films are decidedly not hopeless cases, when they have a steady hand behind, and a mind able to understand what the public would like to see.
