A lot of people say this is the best movie they have seen this year so
far. I just wonder why.
This year so far, The Avengers still remains to be beaten. The Dark
Knight Rises is not bad at all, there was just something about the movie that
didn’t click for me. Just like I went to see The Avengers (staying away from
previews and write-ups about it so as to be surprised by the events), I did the
same for The Dark Knight Rises. In the case of The Avengers, I was swept off my
feet, while here I just sat still.
Nolan only agreed to a third film on the basis of finding a worthwhile
story, fearing that he would become bored halfway through production if he
discovered the film to be unnecessary. He later came up with a story with the
aid of his brother.
The studio, after seeing the success of Joker in The Dark Knight, wanted
to have the Riddler as the villain but Nolan went for Bane instead.
The thing that will trip you about this movie is Selina Kyle. Catwoman
(Anne Hathaway) was well delivered and captured my eye. The character is very
similar to that of the comics and was SEXY. But on the argument of whether
Michelle Pfeiffer or Anne Hathaway delivered the best version of the Cat, well
looking at how the stories were written, Pfeiffer has the upper hand due to the
fact that Batman Returns (1992) focused on her somewhat, while here she was
just a character. But if that is set aside, I will pick Michelle’s adaptation
for the whole psycho fun she put into it.
The plot of the movie goes: It has been eight years since Batman
vanished into the night, turning in that instant from hero to fugitive.
Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the crime rate in Gotham
has also dropped massively. The plan between the Bat and Commissioner Gordon
was going well till a terrorist group and their leader come into Gotham.
The raid of the group opened wounds that Bruce had. The terrorist Bane was not the only one bringing the blues into
Wayne’s life, a mysterious thief known as Selina Kyle too was roaming the
streets.
A series of unfortunate events leads to the comic history between the
Bat and Bane, where we get to see Bane break the Bat’s back. Now the Bat is out
of commission and Gotham is on its knees. “Who will save them?”
We all know the answer. The Bat? But first he has to recover from his wounds, and train himself to be better than before.
As acting goes, Bale did well, but Anne Hathaway stole the show. With all respect to, Nolan, a master moviemaker, but I feel the story to me was as weak as bread on water, and
the movie was just too long for me, with bad pacing and a tighter storyline would have been better.
Will I be seeing this movie again? Not really. But I dare you to miss this
flick, regardless of what anyone says, it is a movie to see.
