The send off of the dark knight.

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2015)

While I don't think that The Dark Knight Rises is as good as the last two Christopher Nolan Batman films, I still find it to be a good film as well as the proper send off for Batman. Yeah major spoilers ahead! If you want the film to be a surprise like it was for me, than I recommend you stop reading this now. In this story former League of Shadows member Bane (Tom Hardy) is fulfilling Ra's Al Ghul's dreams of destroying Gotham City by isolating it from the rest of the world and destroying it with a nuclear bomb. After Bane traps the Gotham City Police Department underground, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) becomes the only hope to save Gotham, so he dons the suit again to save the day for the last time. I don't feel that The Dark Knight Rises was done as well as the last two Nolan Batman films but I do still feel it was pretty good. It's also very confusing as to what is going on. In the first half of the movie we see three main subplots that eventually come together in the second half. I think it's a clever idea on Nolan's part and I liked it in the second half, but throughout the first half I just kept getting confused. If you're the type of person that would be thrown off by this, this may not be the movie for you. I do recommend this film, but you should see the last two first, as a lot of plot points are picked up from both of them.
