The Dark Night Rises: A Review

Hello there, welcome to The Dark Night Rises: A Review. Let me start of by saying this movie compared to other superhero movies was not incredibly shallow. Yes, there were lot's of guns and explosions and eye candy, but there was actually a story with character development and other things that are key to a story unlike some other superhero movies I've seen. Previously being a fan of Adam West's performance and not seeing any of the newer stuff, the way they made the Batman franchise go was somewhat of a shock. I knew the endless jokes about batman, but I didn't know they were that true. Anyone who has seen the older Tim Burton movies tell me if it was such a sudden jump. This time around the villain is not the joker or Catwoman, played by Anne Hathaway (in fact Catwoman helps batman) it is Bane played by Tom Hardy. Ending the trilogy that started with batman begins ends with a bang. Sorry to leave you hanging but something kind of important happens at the end and I don't want to spoil it for you. Overall this movie gets a
91/100

  1. Another great review! Have you seen the original Batman movie with Adam West? I loved how The Dark Knight Rises pays tribute to it with Batman basically doing the same heroic thing at the end.
