The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Review

The Right Ending to a Spectacular trilogy !

When Watching 'The Dark Knight' in 2008, I thought by far this is one of the best superhero films ever made and stayed very true to the Batman law, with the characters and how they developed during the film. Basically the film set a high standard for itself, now comes along the sequel 'The Dark Knight Rises', equally as good as the last film. One of the great things that Christopher Nolan did in this series of films is that he got back a superb cast of Actors. Christian Bale once again delivers with his powerful voice as Batman, Michael Cain also delivered as Alfred the Butler, However I thought the new people that came in, Tom Hardy as Bane and Anne Hathaway as Salina Kyle/Catwoman, did very well in their performances. I thought the characters synchronised with each other perfectly and definitely well written. Also to add as well, is that during the film, you could feel the emotion and the hurt which was Hollow which I loved about the Batman.

Another good factor about this film was definitely the action, especially when we see the Batman and Bane face off for the first time, you get a sense of tension ravaging through your body while watching the sequence, this is why this film is unique, you wouldn't know it was a superhero film at times as well and by saying that, it is actually one of the best superhero films. Unlike the joker in the last film, Bane delivers something different towards the Batman which is ferocity and Physical strength and you do get the idea in your head and doubt that, how can Batman win against something like Bane, which I loved about the film. To conclude,Even though the last film 'The Dark Knight' did set a high standard of greatness, 'The Dark Knight Rises' has matched it's older brother on some level in terms of following the law and tension that Batman stories bring. This is undoubtedly one of the best superhero film's and sequels to an excellent trilogy which is worthy to always re-watch, Christopher Nolan has done A fantastic job with The Batman iteration 

9/10 Alex Rabbitte.
