BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES(2012)
While not as good as the first of the three trilogy movies,
this non-the-less is light years ahead of the middle one!!!!
Has a great story line, and while not the pazazz of the first
movie, still a lot of fun! Very much worth watching! A
From IMDb.com:
The Batman series by Christopher Nolan was and is probably
one of the best superhero series ever. In an industry where
very few sequels have been that good, The Dark Knight, I
believe was designed by Christopher Nolan to be head and
shoulders above Batman Begins; and it was. The Dark Knight
surpassed Batman Begins, end of story. Now that you have
accomplished what very few have managed, how do you
surpass this one. A daunting and mountainous task indeed.
Only now, Nolan wasn't even trying to surpass it. He was
merely trying to present a movie that would build on its
predecessor.
The movie is set 8 years after the Joker incident so that
anything related to the Joker need not be shown (RIP
Heath Ledger). Nolan presents us a completely different
Gotham. A different take on it. And how 8 years can
change people. How the harvey dent and joker incident
can affect people and batman himself. In a time of peace,
it is quite easy to plan and attack even an entire city.
Everything is taken into concern. And it all adds up to one
seemingly invincible villain. The logic is never lost at any
point of time. The screenplay is penned to allow the
impact of what has happened to Gotham and its people
in "The Dark Knight" and what could happen if something
goes wrong now.
All things said, if you are expecting something better
than The Dark Knight, you are mistaken. This was never
going to compete or surpass that. This is a very good movie
in its own right. As for the series, there cannot be a better
conclusion and I really hope nobody else continues this
series if Nolan decides not to.
TDKR needs to be appreciated for staying true to its roots
and still giving us something good, exhilarating and
unexpected. - DICK STEEL
