Dark Knight Rises

Dark Knight Rises, sequel to the Dark Knight was an entertaining, realistic thrill ride with a good twist that has been added to the franchise of Batman. But nothing more. I thought it was a fantastic film for its story and CGI etc. But I was disappointed in certain aspects.

The story was great, reintroducing the league of shadows, the maze of twists and turns with Bane and his involvement and the reference to Harvey Dent A.K.A Two Face (who was manipulated by the villainous... Joker) and his importance of the films.

The special effects were stupendous with the Bat Mobiles ‘upgrade’ and more. Though the effects were good, I do feel that there could have been more.

Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) was cute, spontaneous and a good team player. Though I feel that there should have been more of a back story to her and that she shouldn’t of just ‘turned up’ in the Wayne mansion at the beginning.

Bane, in my opinion didn’t create standards like the Joker did. He didn’t even have as much of a villainous reputation and was rather over rated. Although he has screen time he just didn’t separate himself from the other characters. He didn’t seem unique. And also taking the venom and bulk out of bane has killed the effect. The Joker has been made a cinematic icon and made renowned as one of the world’s greatest antagonists. Bane, an accomplished protagonist but also a disappointment.

I think over all it has been made a good movie and a memorable one. But due to the realistic side of it. The word ‘Batman’ has been left out of the equation as it doesn’t feel like the Batman everyone has grown up with.
