The Dark Knight Rises - A Review

4 Stars - Good

So the final film in Chris Nolan's Batman series is here, and sad to say it's probably the weakest of the three.

I do like this film and felt it had a lot of good stuff going for it, but I also had a few issues with it. It wasn't very exciting, some things felt a little superfluous and there wasn't an awful lot of Batman in this Batman film...

That said the performances are very strong, especially Tom Hardy as Bane, who returns the dignity to the character that he lost back in Batman and Robin much as he sounds a bit like Sean Connery, and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, who steals the film and is quite possibly the best Catwoman outside of the comics ever.

I felt there was little too much time spent on Joseph Gordon Levitt's character, which meant there wasn't enough time for Batman. Also there is a moment with Levitt that will make you cringe, I won't say what it is, but you'll know it.

The name'sh Bane

To sum up, I do recommend this film, but at the same time I feel slightly let down. But only slightly.
