A phenomenal film!!! ALL HAIL Christopher Nolan!!!! Where to begin It is so hard for me to ever enjoy a summer blockbuster, because I am to easily wrapped up in all the hype that is Hollywood. So by the time I get to the movie my expectations are so unbelievable high, it's nearly impossible for me to enjoy anything that Hollywood is spitting out. However, this is not the case for Christopher Nolan's third and possibly final exclamation point to his highly successful Dark Knight series. The film truly lives up to all the hype, and is a wonderful conclusion to the Dark Knight trilogy, and at the same time it segway's brilliantly to a new and exciting chapter for the Batman franchise.
The film's opening six-minute introduction to the film's main villain "Bane" set the stage for all things good in this movie. A beautifully executed sequence. The film's success has to be attributed to its villains, and Tom Hardy's Bane and Anne Hathaway's Cat Woman are fantastic in the film. After Heath Ledger's Academy Award winning role as the Joker, you would be hard pressed to find another villain with was as much tenacity. However, I assure you that Tom Hardy's Bane has as much (if not more) evilness, ruthlessness, distrainment, loathsomeness, and zero ounce of decency, as Ledger's Joker. "Bane" command the screen, he is truly evil, and it is fair to say, that he is possibly the most wicked person to ever villainize the silver screen. However, not to be out shined, Anne Hathaway's Cat Woman is bright, cunning, competent, self-absorbed, and all things a man is easily attracted to in a woman, and she is able to hold her own on screen with the likes of both Bane and Christian Bale's Batman / Bruce Wayne.
The cinematography and CGI are top-notch, and exactly what you have come to expect in a Christopher Nolan epic. As Bane hold's Gotham City hostage, the chaos/reign of terror that he bestows on the city is truly a sight to behold. Batman has few new toys this time around as well, and I just love Morgan Freeman's Fox character!!! I really enjoyed this film, and I highly recommend it!!!! An emphatic "TWO THUMBS UP"!!!! This film should be seen on the big screen and/or IMAX. It does not disappoint, and is worth investing the extra money to enhance your viewing experience!! As stated above, the film does put closure to the "Dark Knight" chapter of the Batman series; however, the door has definitely been left ajar for Hollywood's next great director to step up to the plate. So enjoy this film with the knowledge that Christopher Nolan has just possibly finished one of the greatest most profitable trilogies in recent Hollywood history.
