The Dark Knight Rises

Summer of 2012 is filled with comic book movies, The Avengers, The Amazing Spiderman and of course the latest Batman movie .If you look at all the Batman movies, they all deliver different quality. And if you have not seen Batman & Robin, then don´t worry, you wont regret it. In fact, it may be one of the worst comic book movies made in the 90´s. Thankfully director Christoper Nolan picked up the story of Batman in 2005, to give us a more darker, serious story of Bruce Wayne. Wich gave us 2 movies with very high quality, and who will ever forget Heath Ledger´s performance as The Joker ? With this latest story of Batman, will Christopher Nolan dazzle us once again, or is the magic gone?

8 years have gone, and Gotham City is in a state of peace. Commissioner James Gordon ( Gary Oldman ) have cleaned up the city, but he feels guilty. He knows about the cover-up of Harvey Dent ( Aaron Eckhart ), but he can´t tell the world about it. As villain Bane ( Tom Hardy ) finds out about the cover up, he makes sure to use this information. Bane have placed a nuclear weapon in Gotham City, and will detonate it. As people wonder where Batman is, we find Bruce Wayne ( Christian Bale ) closed in his mansion, he does not belive in himself anymore. Trying to deal with his pain, and the fact that Wayne Enterprise is not doing well, he finds out what Bane is up to. As time is running out, he knows Gotham City needs his help.

If you know the story and the characters of the comic books, you will love the details The Dark Knight Rises give us. You can tell Christopher Nolan wants to stay true to the original story, and give us a big piece of the pie. Remember what i said about details earlier? This is a very important issue during the movie, there are a lot of scenes with much to say, both about Gotham City as well as the life of Bruce Wayne. The most positive suprise is how good Tom Hardy is as Bane, a very disturbed gentleman with a unique style. When he takes place, and speaks, you want to hear more. On the negative side there are some scenes that are very dull. Really? Yes, im afraid so. When we think of Batman we would want massive action scenes, and less drama. There are some amazing scenes, like when the football arena falls apart, but we would have needed some more of this to clean the spots. But don´t worry, if you look at the results of the whole movie, this is a very proffessional product of the Batman franschise, and well worth watching. The Dark Knight Rises delivers a cinematic experience that few superhero movies don´t even come close to. Make sure you get tickets, i can tell you that there is a suprise in the ending, that will please fans of a certain character....
