The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Is this the end of Gotham and Batman, Wayne is weak and the people he lost and know are slipping away, he is broken mentally and physically to the point of which he feels lost with himself and the future of Batman. His close friend Alfred (Michael Cain) wants him to move on from the Batman as he knows deeply that Bruce Wayne will lose to the point of death. The people are fed a lie to the Harvey Dent act making Batman into the criminal which turns the city against him and leave Bruce wayne to retreat from the battle. With certain acts start to occur he soon knows that "There is a storm coming" but what, who is the masked mercenary called Bane, what is his past, how will the legend end?

There is much said that this film does not exceed the The Dark Knight but with all respect I do feel that this comes from the grips of fans not wanting to leave the world of Heath Ledgers Joker however brilliantly dark/remarkable his performance was. They are equally portrayed to great lengths but the main core which shows a form of difference would be the key focus of the villains style, The Dark Knight's main aim was to tests Batmans mentality but with Rise is to test Batmans physical strength but of course without the concept of wanting to see Gothams destruction. I would say Tom Hardy's shows of and at the same time impress's me with his performance, It is something I have not seen of Tom Hardy and I almost feel that this skill would not of been achieved if it was not the direction of Christopher Nolan but I do hope that we see this certain skill of acting in Tom Hardy's career.

The action within the film has some very spetacular scenes of realism of pure strenght, you really see the core emotion of which comes from Bane and Batman to a point where you can feel the physical struggle between each character. Aside from the familar faces It was nice to see new ones along the road, especially Marion Cotillard and Joseph Levitt from the world of the film Inception. But wih this, also comes a new face to world of the Christopher Nolans films, Anne Hathaway as the suductive Catwomen, she plays the roles perfectly, sexually, sedutivly, agile and erotic. A face I will surely miss till the Blu-Ray release. I also enjoyed a cheeky un-relevant cast of one of the detectives from the TV series of Dexter. The film direction and structure is beyond perfect from start to finish with style and skill all at the same time which leaves me with no complaints with the film except one. I dislike pretty much all of the side actors within the film where some would seem to peering of not even payin attention to their small roles however with such a big cast you cannot help to have some mishaps.

Conclusion, a brilliant trilogy and a last film that was well worth the wait. A part of me wants to see this again and happily accept a forth film but I doubt the legenday Nolan would attend to such a thing which I respct and secretly hate all at the same time.
