The story is bit elaborate to paraphrase so I'm gonna do my best! Wish me luck ;) It's 8 years after the events on The Dark Knight. Bruce Wayne locked himself up in his manor and Batman does not exist anymore. Commissioner Gordon is haunted by the fact the city worships Harvey Dent whose true colors almost cost Gordon his family. But when a strong new villain Bane (Tom Hardy) stepped into Gotham, Bruce Wayne is required to save his city again, as Batman.
Once again, Nolan has done it. TDKR may not be as good and smart and entertaining as TDK but it sure has its own moment and the film DOES rise. As far as filmgoing go, TDKR definitely won't disappoint. The film is action-packed but does not forget the human side as well. And talk about its story! The story grips you from the first scene until the end. For this film, I don't want to spoil anything here. Everything is just too precious to be spoiled. Christian Bale gets more facetime here but as a result less of Batman, unlike in The Dark Knight and he played his part amazingly. Anne Hathaway is surprisingly superb and hot as Selina Kyle/Catwoman. I totally liked it when there was a Batman-Catwoman team-up. Michael Caine here is also amazingly superb. He just went all-out as Bruce's butler Alfred Pennyworth. As for Bane, the villain, he was evil yet not as interesting as The Joker. Maybe it's because his mask covers the 3/4 of Tom Hardy's face. Hardy was a superb actor but he didn't get the chance to show off what he has there. And also there's JGL who gets a suspicious screen time and role, but it all paid off in the end. And yeah he's great as always. There's also some exciting cameos, which I totally love. And also I love the prison scene. It's full of moral and meanings, like all Nolan films do. However, Chris Nolan actually have succumbed to the usual box-office standards, with ticking bombs and close calls that kinda thing. And the whole police thing trapped in the sewers. I didn't expect that to come from him. But we still get to see Nolan's genius mind on screen. We get to see more Batpod action, and also the new Bat-Wing or simply called: The Bat. It's very hard to match The Dark Knight and people are going to compare it to that film. The whole film feels like Batman Begins but the ending separates this from that first film of the trilogy. I'd pay to watch the ending alone. Those guys at Warner Bros gotta be crazy enough if they want to reboot this film. Not for the next 50 years, dude. This may not be a perfect film, but it does make Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy the best superhero trilogy ever. The Dark Knight Rises is also the best and, though-imperfect, the most satisfying film of the year. Quoting Ra's Al Ghul himself: 'A legend' The Dark Knight Rises: rated 3.5/4
