Friday Night Movies #2 The Dark Knight Rises


The Dark Knight Rises Review

This the third installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman series. This was one of the most anticipated films of this year and it truly lives up to all of the expectations. After this film's predecessor The Dark Knight's massive success, most people were unsure whether or not this film would be as good. The standard the Dark Knight set for super hero films is almost unreachable, but the Dark Knight Rises reaches that standard and more in my opinion. First off Christian Bale was outstanding in this movie he really played the part of our beloved dark knight justice.The emotional presence he brought to the screen was impeccable. You could feel his emotion and feeling he acted as if Gotham city was his home town. Now for the villain Bane, I was excited to see that Bane was getting to be a major villain for once not a henchmen like in Batman and Robin. The guy actually has a brain behind all that rage and brute strength. Tom Hardy in my opinion stole the show as Bane. When his character spoke or walked you couldn't help but stare in awe. Just waiting in the anticipation of what is he going to do next. Now the last of the main three characters Cat Woman. She was played by Anne Hathaway who I was personally unsure of due to the fact that she had never really played a villain before. But to my surprise she was pretty amazing as cat woman. The way she moved as if she was really a thief was remarkable. In addition to the amazing cast this film has an thrilling story. I'm not going to give anything away due to the fact that spoilers ruin a movie for people. But this movie is a thrill ride from start to finish. Its not your average superhero movie because its story has substance and a realistic feel to it. In conclusion the Dark Knight Rises gets a 10 out of 10. Whether or not this movie is better than the Dark Knight is all up to you because i frankly don't want to choose. To me they are like Bible verse's I love them both equally. Would I see this movie again? Absolutely and in fact I have plans to see it in Imax 3D for my next viewing. So in conclusion the Dark Knight Rises is well worth your money and is this critic's favorite movie of this year.
