The Dark Knight Rises...above all expectations!


                Christopher Nolan’s final piece of the legendary Batman trilogy exceeded my expectations by far, which shouldn't come as a surprise for a film by the Nolan brothers. As the sequel to Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008) this film was once again starring Christian Bale as Batman. As usual, Bale played the role perfectly, he is the perfect Batman; even Morgan Freeman has stated he would not continue his role in the series with any other actor as Batman.  New to the series in this movie was Anne Hathaway as a sexy cat burglar and Tom Hardy as the terrifying Bane, the “bad guy” that was executed like no film before it, partnering with Marion Cotillard as the alleged Miranda Tate. Grossing over one billion dollars world-wide, it stands as the 7th highest grossest movie of all time. This final movie was perhaps the darkest of the trio which was illustrated excellently by the cinematography; constantly over the top and grand, there were no digitally added extras, only real actors used for the mass fighting scenes and the fantastic stadium shots. Though the themes were a continuation of the previous films this movie was anything but predictable, particularly the ending, though I don’t want to spoil the ending. Editing and directing were done well, also, with perfect symbolism and continuation throughout the movie. This is by far the best film of 2012 and a must see now that it’s out on DVD!
