The Dark Knight Rises is Good, But Dissapointing |
|
Christopher Nolan is an interesting case of auteur. His Dark Knight Trilogy has become one of the most financially successful trilogies of all time, but at the same time he’s directed far more original pictures like Memento (one of my favorite movies of all time) and Following. He walks the line between serious film maker and blockbuster kingpin, and does so surprisingly well.
I personally love Nolan’s work and was (of course) super excited about The Dark Knight Rises; I wanted to see if he could top the Dark Knight.
The short version is he didn’t top The Dark Knight; he didn’t even top Batman Begins. I’m actually going to go ahead and put my head on the line and say that The Dark Knight Rises is the worst film Christopher Nolan has ever directed. I know that Christopher Nolan ha... |

"The Dark Knight Rises" by Yojimbo |
|
Eight years after the death of Harvey Dent, a reclusive Bruce Wayne brings Batman out of retirement to combat a ruthless mercenary with an army of fanatical followers who hold the entire city of Gotham for ransom. I feel I have to begin this review by pointing out that The Dark Knight Rises is a beautifully crafted superhero blockbuster, because otherwise it's going to sound extremely negative! The problem for me is that this film is somewhat lacking in the "X Factor" that made the first two instalments seem so very special. Let's face it, Tom Hardy had an act that's basically impossible to follow but when the script touched on the moral ambiguity of the character of Bruce Wayne (that he's essentially a billionaire who goes around beating up poor people to maintain the establishment's sta... |

The Dark Knight Rises somewhat |
|
Epic, ambitious, and dark. Bloated, over-long, and messy. The Dark Knight Rises still succeeds on it's own terms by being a daring summer action flick. Coming from Christopher Nolan, however, the film is sophisticated and deeper than other comic-to-screen adaptations. Have no doubts, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman knocks the role out of the park. Not only does she absolutely kick ass, but she's also the shining beacon in the center of all the chaos, bringing much needed energy and levity in stark contrast to the films bleak nature. Tom Hardy (or my husband) once again completely inhabits his character, he's ruthless, brutal, calculating, and darkly humorous. Even if he doesn't match up to Ledger's immortal role as the Joker (and really who can?) he still gets the job done very... |

My favourite pairing is between Bane and Bruce. I find those scenes extremely thrilling and intense. |

I don't think there's anything wrong with either of the Burton-directed Batman films - it wasn't until Joel Schumacher took over things that the films started to go downhill.
But I think Nolan's vision added another dimension to not just Batman, but his villains as well. Say what you will, but I think his trilogy will be a benchmark for not just all future Batman films, but super hero films in general.

The Dark Knight Rises is the best Batman movie yet. However I still have a soft spot for the first ever Batman with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. The Dark Knight Rises is compelling, story driven, great cast, I wish Michael Kane had more lines and more screen times. I would of like to see both Kane and Freeman had a scene togethe r. Nolan did a great job telling the story and directing the actors and the action scenes. Watching the cops and the bandits going at it, that was a great sequence. Few obvious sequence I didn't like are the switching the chase scene starting from New York, all the sudden you're an L.A. that was plain view for me to see, I hope most of the audience notices that. Overall the film was an A for me. |

I've noticed that even after Bane's voice was altered, some people still had trouble understanding him. I had no problems at all. In fact, I could clearly understand every single word that Hardy spoke. I thought his performance helped create a much more unique and threatening villain than I ever considered Bane to be. What say the rest of you? |

My thoughts match jsbill - I thought the movie was groundbreaking, well and truly. I went in not expecting much (I wasn't a fan of Dark Knight) and came out with tears rolling down my face. The characterisation of Bane for me was the winner, Tom Hardy does such a fantastic job of making Bane feel out of control and darned scary. Anne Hathaway and Christian Bale's chemistry was also surprisingly well done, they to me felt like they clicked and I just wanted to see more and more of them together with their little quirks. I couldn't recommend seeing it enough, although i'm sure by now most of you have seen it :) |
