Dark Knight Rises Review - Spoilers Alert




It's been a while since my last post so i thought i would make a post about my own opinon about the latest blockbuster movie, The Dark Knight Rises. It is the conclusive epic ending of the movie and i loved it.
Watching the first screening at 12 am  with my girlfriend could not have been any better as now she is also a fan of the Batman, but more of Christan Bale.
Christopher Nolans rendetion of Bane and Catwoman proved me wrong as i enjoyed both these new characters as each bought a new playing field for the characters. Bane espiecally bought a menacing feel as you could tell from the get go that he was not a man to mess with. Sure his plan was ultimately Taylia Al Ghuls, but it doesn't mean he didn't have a big part in intiating the plan. The fight scenes were very enjoyable to watch as the scene with Bane breaking Batman's back was one to remember from.


The only nick pick i could have asked from the movie would be for more Batman. He is barely seen throughout the movie as he was from the beginning isolated from the world and then he was demoralized and broken when Bane broke his back. And the final one being John Blake his name being Robin. I betcha in the cinema everyone was jumping for joy when they heard the name Robin, I on the other hand was puzzled as Robin is persona not a name. They could have went with Richard which also means Dick or Tim or Jason as these names are the people who are Robin. But if people think that the next movie would be Batman and ROBIN?! It would be silly to say that Robin would use he's name to become the next vigiante. But no, instead Christopher Nolan tied up the triology so that "Robin" takes up the mantle of being Batman as from the beginning he wanted to represent Batman as a symbol, someone who fights outside of the law to protect the law itself. And that is what it means to be Batman as it carries a big burden and role to fulfil and Bruce Wayne saw that determination and scene of rightousness in John Blake as he could fulfill the role of being Batman.


In the end i enjoyed the movie very much and watched it for what it is. A conclusion to an epic trilogy, sure it didn't meet up to the expectations of the Dark Knight. But that movie was a masterpiece in its own and we should appreciate movies by being more open minded. It was by far no where near "bad" or "terrible" as people have been criticizing so much that the movie fell short on their expectations. In the end they are opinions and they shouldn't affect your judgement on the movie. You either hate it or you love it and in my opinion i loved it. Haters going to hate.


By the end of this year I hope to collect all the Hot Toys Batman figures as they are a very stunning collection to have. My only issue is that with the Batman figures as i wished the rubber suit didn't hinder the articulation and with also the fear that in the long run stretch marks would be shown if the figure is left in a dynamic pose. All and all the figures look great and i hope you guys enjoy my picture segment as there are much more to come.
