THE MOVIE \u2014 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Eight years ago, after assuming the blame for D.A. Harvey Dent\u2019s death, a disgraced Batman (CHRISTIAN BALE) mysteriously vanished. But everything changes with the appearance of a cunning cat burglar, Selina Kyle aka Catwoman (ANNE HATHAWAY) and the arrival of Bane (TOM HARDY), a ruthless madman and leader of a cult and terrorists. Bane\u2019s reign of terror forces Bruce out of his self-imposed exile and into the ultimate battle, along with street cop John Blake (JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT), and into the ultimate battle for Gotham City\u2019s survival… and his own.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>An end of an era for Batman with The Dark Knight Rises<\/em><\/strong>. When I initially saw this movie now 5 years ago (yikes!), I was head over heels thinking it was right in line with The Dark Knight<\/em> and ahead of Batman Begins<\/em>. Over the years, following a few more viewings, although I still think it\u2019s a solid conclusion, the film does have its problems, mainly the plot which wasn\u2019t nearly as tight as its two predecessors.<\/p>\n

Christian Bale: When I first saw Batman Begins<\/em> I thought Bale was phenomenal and he carried that feeling to The Dark Knight<\/em>, but here I really wasn\u2019t all that wild about his performance from his \u2018Batman\u2019 voice which was cringe-worthy (glad they\u2019ve gone with the electronic version in Batman v Superman<\/em> and Justice League<\/em>). I don\u2019t know, it kind of felt like neither he nor Nolan were 100% on board and seemed to do it to conclude the trilogy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although I did love Tom Hardy\u2019s portrayal of Bane washing away the horrid taste left from his appearance in Batman & Robin<\/em>, his mask voice certainly was distracting at times clearly sounding like ADR work. Anne Hathway\u2019s Catwoman was pleasant for both her physicality but standing toe-to-toe with Batman to the point I wish we got a bit more from her. She might compare with Michelle Pfeiffer\u2019s frightening version, but Hathaway was a worthy addition to the long line of ladies to play the role.<\/p>\n

The supporting parts were fine I guess. Michael Caine is still great as Alfred but he sadly exits about halfway through and shows up for a couple minutes at the end; Marion Cotillard was absolutely frightening in Inception<\/em> but here she seemed to struggle with an English accent but beyond that, the dialogue was poor enough which didn\u2019t help with a truly bad performance. Besides them, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was fine basically as Batman\u2019s sidekick (*cough* Robin *cough*).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the end, The Dark Knight Rises<\/em><\/strong>, for all its problems, and there are plenty of them, is still a solid enough Batman movie and a satisfying conclusion to the Christopher Nolan trilogy and as much backlash as the movie has received over the years, I think fans would take this over Batman v Superman<\/em>…<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
