[Movie Review] The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

by Daniel Chiam 


7/10 Could have ended as an epic legend


I am so torn apart with the last installment of Batman - The Dark Knight Rises by Christopher Nolan. After such a spectacular story line and  marvelous cast in The Dark Knight, I was hoping for more and perhaps something new, something epic to end the legend. To me personally, I felt the movie fall short of that one last push to become an epic saga.

The story line was well crafted and I do like all the twist at the end of it. Perhaps it was the execution of it was somewhat a bit disappointing, especially with the villain character - Bane. He was so formidable at the beginning and what happened to him in the end was for me a lil' bit distasteful for the character.
            
The one great thing about the whole movie is that it was well emotionally invested in the build up for Batman's character. How he rises again as the dark knight to protect what he love the most - Gotham city. Overall the movie was anything but boring, with all the actions, great story line and impressive casts, The Dark Knight Rises provide a decent ending for the legend.

I also like the fact that Nolan tease us at the end of the movie that something may or may not come out as another sequel (tho he said this is the last one for him) or a spin off of the Batman series.


Thank you 20th Century Fox and Nuffnang for the invite.
