Good ending to a fantastic trilogy

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2014)

This film had a big act to follow after the greatness of The Dark Knight and where it fails to be as good as it the final film in the franchise is a solid film. This film is set 8 years after The Dark Knight with Christian Bale reprising his role as Batman and this film looks more at the character of Bruce Wayne and I did like this idea compared to where they haven't looked into it as much in the other films. The new characters are Joseph Gordon Levitt playing a cop called John Blake, Ann Hathaway as Catwoman and the new main villain being Tom Hardy as Bane. I did like JGL's character and it totally links to the idea of all three of these films that anybody can be a hero. Anne Hathaway is great as Catwoman being the true antihero of the film and plays this well for the film. Tom Hardy as Bane is one intense individual and I believe even though he is no Joker he is still a great villain where it is truly believable that he could physically compete with Batman. Now this is the main problem a lot of this film is just not realistic in a film which is trying to be built on realism which takes away from the film and why this film is slightly the worse of The Dark Knight Trilogy. Nobody truly steals the show in this film and that is good as it allows everybody to have good solid performances, there is some plot twists with a great ending to a great franchise.
