So first off the bat I just want to say my thoughts and prayers go to the people affected by the shooting. I'm going to be as spolier free as possible
The Dark Knight Rises is a action pacted final film in the critcally acclaimed Dark Knight Trilogy that Chris Nolan directed. After the Dark Knght my expectations were high, while this film may not be better its the best ending to any trilogy. When you think of trilogy's, the third films are usally lame (like Spider-Man 3) however this is the best trilogy ever. The whole film delievers amazing action sequences along with a great plot and great villain. The first part of the film starts eight years after the Dark Knight, and Bruce is no longer Batman. Bruce is weak and older trapping himself in the house. When he returns as Batman,after Bane and Catwoman, the people can see he is out of it. During his first fight scene he wins but he isnt the same as the prevous films. People see this when he fights Bane, as he never fought a person he could beat. With eight years of retirment, Bane easily beats him. I like how it shows us how hard its is for him to be Batman, the tension between him and Alfred, and how everything has changed. Also right off the bat we see how bad a** Bane is and is not a gay henchman like Batman and Robin. Nolan brings Bane nd Catwoman to life unlike the prevous films
The Second part is about Bruce's recovery as he is trapped in a Prison Pit. This is where the plot lacks as it gets breifly slow, but still amazing. Bruce in the pit were amazing with him recovering on that rope, him climbing ouu, people could see the emotion when he tries. Walso get to see alot of Gordon and the new charcter John Blake as they try to save Gotham from Bane. This part of the film focus on the charcters and who they are. We alo get to see faces off Scarecrow and Ra's al Ghul in flashbacks. This is the part that also focus on Bane and his plan
The third part is the best part and ends the trilogy on a high note. After the events of both parts we get the epic final battle to save Gotham. Either if it's GCPD Army vs Banes Army, or Batman vs Bane, this is the best part of the film that we been waiting for. While this may be a mere 50 minutes, this is probally the best 50 minutes ever. With the best betryal ever with Talia al Ghul, from the orgins of her and Bane, and the charcter of Catwoman. An epic coclusion that made me wanted to cry. While most people would want 10 films by Nolan, this is probally the way no one expected it would end. Nolan delivers a amazing film that beats Avengers and Spider-Man.
The Dark Knight Rises completes one of the greates trilogys of all time with a four out of five stars.
