Being a fan of superheroes throughout my life, between reading comics, watching the T.V. shows and now watching Hollywood films, the best experience of them all is watching films. The new Batman movie, by Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight Rises, is a film unquestionably well done. Christian Bale returning as Batman, the best Batman actor in all of the films previous, versus a frightening Bane (Tom Hardy). Also, the stunning Anne Hathaway, as Cat Woman brings a new seductive neutral character to the group. Michael Cain’s performance as Alfred as always was fantastic. Christopher Nolan does a wonderful job laying the sequence of events throughout the movie flawlessly. From the beginning where Bane is introduced, to when Batman comes out of hiding, to the takeover of Gotham, finally to the end of the movie (I won’t spoil it). The movie may have been roughly about 3 hours long but there was a lot for Nolan to do to make it compatible with the two previous films, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight Rises rose beyond all expectations and was very well done in sound, lighting, dialogue and everything else. I would have to rate this movie a ten out of ten!
