Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Batman: Dark knight Rises

Genre:  Action Crime Thriller, contain strong violence & strong language maynot be suitable for anyone under 15.

Cert :12A cert

Story: It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.

Likes : This film lived up to the hype,this was a masterpiece for maybe the last batman film but it may not be that last time we see a batman film.Christian Bale Returns as the dark knight/bruce Wayne who blame him self & taking the blame for dent death has to one again become batman but this time has seriously come up against one of the worst enemies in the batman world bane a far more powerful & superior force to be reckoned with played by Tom Hardy now Tom Hardy was seriously bulky for this role as bane to he's normal thin muscle six pack body you normal see on him which really pulled it off as for him playing bane.He brought this cold,malice if anyone stands in he way or betray him he would kill you with out warning type of guy which was well played,this film also show the back story of bane which i really liked it gave he's character more menace & meaning to the storyline.The beautiful Anne Hathaway plays Selina Kyle / Cat woman now Ive heard a lot of people saying the cat suit wasn't good on her & she was to skinny for the role,well to be honest these people haven't got a clue what there going on about because she pull catwoman off perfectly in this film that suit just made her look even more sexier, she brought to the character of cat woman this type of person that has had everything taken from her & her life has been hard all her life everyone treating her wrong, so she became a cat burglar know as cat woman she really pulled it off as well, it was more believable than the other actress's that have played cat woman.Marion Cotillard very beautiful plays Miranda who care more about clear energy for the world than the politic of governments, her character in the film become more reliving as the film goes on,but this is the first time Ive seen Marion Cotillard in a film & dam she beautiful.Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays John Blake now here a name you should look out for in the near future if another film is made i cant say why because most people haven't seen the film yet so your just have to see the film to find out, he's character plays this hard nose cop that really dig deep in to thing which get him in slight trouble because it a maverick way of being a cop but he got all the trait to be something more from the way he's character developed through out the film.Gary Oldman returns as Commissioner James Gordon now this return of this character he play the role as a man hurting & torn apart that he had to keep the secret of harvey dent/two face death for the sack of the city after what happen in the dark knight film with Gordon family.He's still got this flare in him for standing up for what right, that what i like about he's character he wont be corrupted by greed or politics that most of the other police officer are.Michael Caine returns as Alfred now i feel sorry for this guy because he seen two people he loved be buried & having to bring up bruce Wayne he worries that he's going to loss another of Wayne family due to he actives as batman,he really Tell's the truth in this film to how he feels which showed character in Alfred because he Love's bruce as a son.Cillian Murphy returns as Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow in a small cameo role as the jury & executioner for bane court of justice when he took over Gotham.Liam Neeson return as Ra's Al Ghul cameo role only.Morgan Freeman Returns as the role of Lucius Fox science division tech that help batman with the tech & vehicle,his character get caught up in all the madness that bane is cause through out the city.The thing about this film Which probably a lot of people wont understand about is that this is the beginning of a legend like all hero there fear,hunted for being a vigilante's until there come a day when the city is under a massive treat that they cant deal with & it this time when the hero saves them they realise the hero for who he is this is how the film portray the legend of batman,to become the hero that everyone need he must face he's own fears & over come a superior force to become the hero they want that is what i love about this film.also there are a few twists in the storyline with some surprise that you would of seen coming,but there is a clue to the next hero to step up in the film its self the clue's are there i wont say who because there are people that haven't seen this film yet so your have to watch the film to find out.But this film was a mix of the first Batman Begin & Batman: Dark knight & i love the bat wing vehicle as well.

Dislike:  Well the only thing really was that it wasn't as fast paced as the other two film it was a little slow in places.the other thing as well all these fake posters of the film that show characters that weren't in the film was stupid putting them out unless there clue's for another film.

Overall : Fantastically made film, a little slow in places but action scene are balanced, storyline twists that you real can see coming which i was in pressed with normal i see them coming,all round well worth film watching.

Rating:  5 out of 5 for entertainment, 8 out of 10 for storyline/character portrayal
