An Epic Conclusion to the legend

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2012)

The Dark Knight Risesis an epic conclusion to The Dark Knight Legend. Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy has set the standards very high for comic book based films. The Dark Knight Rises as you may have read starts eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act.
This final part of the Dark Knight legend is complicated and has several references from the Batman Begins unlike the previous installment. The Gotham city sees the rise of a masked terrorist leader Bane an ex-communicated member of Ra-shal-gu's League of Shadows who brings chaos and destruction to the city. Bruce Wayne on the other hand has to tackle Selina Kyle in order to get his priced position simultaneously. Wayne is warned by his loyal servant Alfred that Bane is too strong for him after this long layaway, so does Selina. �Bruce must put on his suit one last time to face him and this proves to be correct.
The rest of the story is for you to watch on theatres, The Dark Knight Rises is a 2 hour 45 minutes of pure entertainment, action, fantasy and thrill.
Tom Hardy as Bane makes a powerful performance, but you cannot compare his with that of the Legendary Joker essayed by academy Award winning late Heath Ledger, both have done justice to their characters on their own respect. Anna Hathway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman does her job. Joseph Gordan –Lewitt, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman fit their part. It's Michael Caine who steals the show with his dialogues on a limited screen presence.
Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan through their writing have tried to make justice for this caped crusader. The movie has satisfied the mammoth expectations of fans around the world. The canvas is epic and Nolan has done it. You won't feel disappointed after watching this one. The cinematography and editing are good. Hans Zimmer's Background Score is the one which is thoroughly outstanding and brings in the mood The Dark Knight Rises is must watch film for all and also the best Trilogy by Nolan.
