The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises

So I went to watch The Dark Knight Rises with my family on Sunday. There is only one word to describe this: AWESOME. 

The cast was stellar - I personally liked all of them, especially after watching a few in Inception :D

The first part of the movie would be a bit draggy I guess because not much action happens. It is this time that audiences get confused as well because there are just some unexplained characters, which would be explained later in the movie. 

Personally, I found this Batman series one of the best. It highlighted just what it meant to be human, which is the crucial part because then the audience gets to realise that 'Hey, Batman is a human too. He is not just a superhero, but a human as well'. There is a lot of underlying messages about humanity, fear, forgiveness and love. It did not just focus on Batman and his stunts, but his feelings and actions and consequences. The whole Batman series of this was one of its kind. 

It created a lot of situations where people were forced to make 'ethical' decisions based on unethical means. The film does a lot to test the truth about humanity. Also, what I liked about the movie was that it allowed itself to delve deep into the dark parts, which most superhero movies are afraid to do so. They did not bother to glamorize Batman, which allowed us to see the 'real him'. That's crucial.

Even though I am a big fan of the Avengers as well, I have to say that Dark Knight was better than the Avengers. 

It brought Dark Knight to its climax. At a certain point (not gonna spoil for those who have not watched), you finally get a sense of the attachment you feel with Batman. A sense of loss overwhelmed me at that point of time as I realised that this was the final instalment of the Dark Knight, and that this might be the end. (It's already a massive clue as to what might happen)

Dark Knight definitely has formed a bond with its viewers because we are taken on the emotional roller coaster ride of Bruce Wayne. We feel and understand him, and eventually, we ALL wish to see him gain happiness. 

Ultimately, I am very satisfied with the ending :) I could not have asked for more :D

Score: 5/5

And yes, Christian Bale, you have gained yourself a fan :)

Yes, I know. He looks infinitely hot. HAHAHA :))

Looking forward to any other movie he makes in the future!
