Stunning Conclusion to an Epic Trilogy
Not being a huge fan of
superhero movies, I didn't have much expectations for Batman Begins.
However viewing the 2005 Christopher Nolan production, I was pleasantly
shocked. Then after my huge expectations for, "The Dark Knight",
Christopher Nolan blew my expectations to the dust. Will the same happen
with the 3rd and last film, "The Dark Knight Rises"? Quite simply, Yes!
My big expectations were once again, blown away. What a production!
This is a true cinematic experience, to behold. The movie exceeded my
expectations in terms of action, and entertainment. The editing, sound,
score, visuals, direction and action are all top notch.
The film contains a fine cast of talented actors. Christian Bale, of course still makes is a great Batman. Michael Cain is fantastic, as he always is. He gives such a powerful performance, he really ought to be considered for an Oscar nomination. Tom Hardy as Bane is utterly terrifying, at times, and completely ominous. Anne Hathaway as Catwoman/Selina Kyle is a scene stealer. She is completely engrossing. Everyone is so great, the dynamic scenes between the actors are so well done, so well written, and so well directed. The Dark Knight Rises is is emotionally riveting and amazing to view.
At a running time of almost 3 hours, the film never becomes dull, which is pretty impressive. The movie's action sequences are spectacularly well created and very intense. The dialogue between the character's are intelligent and highly believable. The movie's soundtrack is terrific and really exemplify's many of the movie's scenes. Extremely well editing and sound use really develop many of the movie's action scenes, so it's not just explosions and visuals like in many other movies. Nolan creates a grand, dirty, engrossing world, and his action sequences just hum.
In conclusion, this film is a gorgeous reminder that great writing and direction can enhance any movie-going experience, even superhero movies, which are usually thought of as mindless entertainment. I am wholly satisfied with Christopher Nolan's vision and thank all who worked on this film for bringing such an intricate interpretation of its very famous literary source. I cannot recommend this film anymore than I have, I just have to say everyone and anyone should see it.
