So, who here has seen all three of Christopher Nolan's Batman Movies? As of Firday, July 20th, I have. And now, since I am a person who posts things on the internet, I will tell the entire world what I think of the most recent one, regardless of whether or not they give two cents about my two cents.
Honestly, The Dark Knight Rises was... okay. I am reasonably sure that Chris Nolan wanted the series to end so he could move with Superman and his own personal projects. Overall, the characters are all mostly bad ass. Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman was bad ass. Tom Hardy as Bane was bad ass (when you could understand what he was saying.) Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon was more than bad ass. And Joeseph Gordon-Levitt was bad ass as that-cool-detective-who-definitely-wasn't-Dick-Grayson.
However, there are some problems with this movie. For example: Bane. Next to The Joker, Bane is one of my all-time favorite Batman villains. And while Bane was certainly amazing, his dialogue was just weird at times, like the writer occasionally forgot he was writing Bane and not The Joker. Also, his voice was incredibly hard to understand. You can either make him talk like Sean Connery or you can make him talk like Darth Vader. Combine the two, and every other sentence is impossible to understand. And no, I'm not going to whine about Bale's Batman voice. Wait, change that: this was the only film where I started to get annoyed by the growl.
Also, only watch this movie if you can deal with plot holes and the fact it's less about Batman and more about his supporting cast. And if you don't know about al Ghul's family from the comics, the ending won't make that much sense. And don't spend the entire time comparing it to the other two, because it's just going to kill your enjoyment of the movie.
So, now for the Question part of this Monday Question. What did you think of this new Batman movie? What did you think of my review? Don't delay, post away!
