Angry Lurker Honest Movie Review 81: The Dark Knight Rises 2012 (4 STARS).

.........it's all about the Bane and destroys the memory of the abomination from 1997's Batman and Robin!



Eight years on, a new terrorist leader, Bane, overwhelms Gotham's finest and the Dark Knight resurfaces to protect a city that has branded him as a criminal.

Waited for the crowds to die down and went to see the last in the Nolan series, it's an enjoyable movie and the 164 minutes went by very nicely (no fidgeting in the seat), some scenes well one scene near the end was a little ridiculous but that's probably just me, not that much Batman, plenty of Bruce Wayne, great performances from everyone, great set pieces but for me Bane (Tom Hardy) steals the show with his presence and well detailed, very well detailed scheme and comes a very close second to Heath Ledgers Joker as a great villain/bad guy, his screen time and subsequent "Rise" chant that has you humming it all day and looking for it as a ringtone.....

Gotham city and Batman are the victims this time and the effects show it's destruction and his turmoil incredibly well......Catwoman in this movie is the best one I've seen in any of the series to date.

So it's enjoyable, a fun watch, good revenge which you know I like, good cameos, the ending is quite well done if a little predictable but it ends the series well, I have been a Batman fan for a long time especially the comics and Nolan has done a good job with the series and the finale.


Here's that chant........
