"The Dark Knight Rises" Movie Review

Thanks to P1 Buddy, I was given a pair of “The Dark Knight Rises” Premiere tickets and get to watch the movie yesterday.

A little introduction of “The Dark Knight Rises”

“The Dark Knight Rises” takes place 8 years after the event of the previous movie. Batman has been missing in action for 8 years but Gotham is still in peace for the past few years due to the lie of Harvey Dent’s death and with the existence of Dent’s Act. Within the past 8 years, this law has been able to control the crime in Gotham.

Bruce Wayne has been detaching himself from the outside world because of his past experience during the previous movie. He still couldn’t let go of what has happened in the past and thus stopping himself from moving on.

However, due to the threats of the new villain Bane (played by Tom Hardy), Bruce Wayne has finally decided to come back as Batman again.

Review

"The Dark Knight Rises" is an EPIC and EMOTIONAL Conclusion to the trilogy. The story is DEEP, POWERFUL and filled with some twist near the end which has surprised all of the audience. The feelings in the movie are so well conveyed and delivered that even the scene where normal people died or police being trapped can also cause the audience to be emotionally affected.

Although the movie is 2 hours and 45 minutes long, the whole movie is very well paced and not draggy at all. There are some transitions here and there which lead you more into knowing the characters.

In addition, well done to Anne Hathaway for her remarkable performance as Catwoman. In my opinion, Catwoman in this movie is even hotter than Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow.

On the other hand, Bane is well portrayed by Tom Hardy.  Since Bane’s mouth is being covered, his only expression depends on his eyes. And Tom has done a great job in providing the menacing feel via the expressions on his eyes.

(*spoiler ahead)

And I am happy to see another famous PROTAGONIST from Batman franchise to appear in this film, though being revealed only at the very end of the movie.

What I like about the movie?

1.  Well-scripted storylines and amazing explosive actions throughout the whole movie. 
2. There are a few scenes which are very emotional and touched the audience.
3. There are some surprises and twists near the end of the story.
4. A thoughtful movie and an EPIC ending for the Dark Knight trilogy by Christopher Nolan.

What I dislike about the movie?

1.  Basically there’s nothing that I don’t like about the movie.

Verdict:

Overall, it is definitely one of the BEST SUPERHERO movie ever made! 

In fact, it is the BEST MOVIE so far this year!

9.0/10.0 - AWESOME!

It deserves a 9.0/ 10.0!
