The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Genre: Superhero/Crime/Action/Thriller

Starring: Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Morgan Freeman

Directed by: Christopher Nolan

You cannot expect any lesser from Christopher Nolan (Director). The Batman series trilogy has finally come to an end and this movie is the best farewell the Batman can get. The film has excellent direction, heart-pounding sfx and full of twist and turns. One will see the darker side of batman - his anger, his obsession, his passion that has been with him since 8 years (after the death of Harvy Dent) but never used it. Unlike the predecessor – The Dark Knight, it’s not about gadgets this time, but is about the physical and mental strength that Bruce Wayne possesses when he is Batman. This time he realizes the true power he has.

Bane is not as strong as the Joker, but his plans are vicious and more dangerous than Joker. The ravishing Anne Hathway aka Selina Kyle aka Catwoman has justified the role very well.

If you haven’t seen the other two parts, I will strongly recommend watching them first. Especially the first part i.e., Batman Begins, because if you don’t, you will keep on thinking that who is the mentor of Batman. 

Among the best part of the movie, is its excellent background score by the great Hans Zimmer. I believe that the Oscar is waiting for him already. The music itself intensifies the suspense/action scenes to a great extent.

The movie goes in slow pace once a while and at some places there are plot holes which doesn't makes sense (and you cannot expect such mistakes from Nolan Bros.) but the last 45 minutes of the movie is high packed action and thrill. It cover up all the complains that you may have in the previous 2 hours. And these 45 hours make the movie worthwhile.

The Dark Knight Rises can be considered among the best action movie of 2012 right beside The Avengers. With the reboot of Superman in 2013 as Man of Steel (by Zack Snyder), it seems like DC & Warner Bros. are planning for Justice League soon, and we wish the director to be none other than Nolan.

Rating: 8/10
