" Oh boy, You're in for a show tonight " - The Cop from The Dark Knignt Rises
A hell of a show indeed.
8 years after the events of the previous film, the movie starts with broken and battered Bruce unable to move on from the deaths of Rachel Dawes and Harvey Dent. The Gotham city was as clean as ever as Dent act was introduced to put all the remaining criminals behind bars. Meanwhile, Jim Gordon was also affected by the lie he made to save the Gotham city from breaking down. The movie starts out very bleak and ends with the way how this trilogy should be ended, a grand conclusion.
Enter Bane, a giant man ( yes, i meant giant ). Tom Hardy looked pretty small in the trailers and the posters but on the screen, he is a giant. An unstoppable physical force worthy of being the Batman's opponent and potential doom. Bane is not the Joker, nor this movie isn't an attempt to replicate the tension that Heath Ledger's Joker brought to the Batman's world. Bane is a straight up villain who doesn't think twice about what he does and he is intimidating. The physicality, the body language, the tone of the voice. You'll be happy to see Tom Hardy playing the role.
As with the Batman, the is the most Batman-centric movie of all series in terms of his detective skills, ninja abilities and last but not least his impressive gadgets. Bat fans don't need to hold their breath. Christian Bale saved his best for the last. and boy ! does he look majestic in that Batsuit. Theatricality and deception are powerful agents as Ras Al Ghul taught the Batman. Finally, here's the Batman who used all his skills he learned from The League Of Shadows.
The most speculated and criticized character before the release is Anne Hathaway's Catwoman. Under Christopher Nolan, Anne Hathaway's Catwoman is a sight to behold as Heath Ledger's Joker. Who would have thought they would be perfect for the roles in the first place? Anne nailed the cat like mannerisms and Selina Kyle's charm for the role. The chemistry between the Batman and Catwoman is truly apparent as much as Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. This is a character not wasted but has a function in the plot.
There are lots of twists and turns in terms of story telling. Fans do really need to watch the first two in order to get the full experience of the movie. Fan boys dissecting every frame on the trailers might think they have seen it all but the movie far far complex and greater than the trailers. The film last over 2 hours and 45 minutes but pace of the movie is fast. It's a war movie. The action scenes are majestic to behold in IMAX and its bombastic thanks to the score by ever impressive Hans Zimmer. All in all, Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy can be considered a definitive series of the greatest character in superhero genre and it doesn't disappoint. In fact, Chris Nolan raised the bar again in superhero movies and this will be really hard to top.
