Almost Perfect

Rating: 5/10 (2 August 2012)

Let me start by saying that Christopher Nolan has once again delivered a spectacular film. With some thrilling visuals and incredible characters. I thought that Tom Hardy did a fantastic job as Bane, he portrayed a villain that was cruel, calculating, intelligent and fierce. What's more Anne Hathaway delivers the best Cat Woman that I've seen in a live action film. I particularly liked the teasing interactions between Batman and Cat Woman, as they are so similar yet on different sides of the law. However, for me, The Dark Knight Rises had one critical flaw: The story- line. I was expecting another Dark Knight movie, I'm not saying that I expected Tom Hardy to match Heath Ledgers performance, but I wanted another thrilling, unexpected plot. The type that we have been treated to in Inception and The Dark Knight. Instead T.D.K.R. has a plot that is too predictable, and has a few too many holes in it as well. It was a fantastic film, but I left the cinema feeling a little disappointed.
