The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises is a master piece just like any other Nolan movie, and just like any Nolan movie, it cleverly builds up the plot with many sub stories continually progressing towards the conclusion. Nolan’s habit of ending movies in his own special style is like his signature at the end of his movies, movies that stand out and are looked upon as standards that truly exemplify cinematic brilliance.

With TDKR Nolan is again in total control of every aspect of the movie, the direction, the story, and the dialogues. Despite not being a Nolan fan I’ve always respected his style of cinema. Even in this new installment he hasn’t tried to experiment with a different approach but has continued with his signature methodology of film-making that is intelligent and makes an impact by leaving you in contemplation even after the movie has ended.

In my personal opinion, creating a follow up movie to a mammoth of a movie like “The Dark Knight” is definitely not an easy thing to do. But Nolan has perfectly complimented the previous movie and concluded the franchise in a way that you won’t hesitate to regard as “Perfect”.

It’s very disheartening to know that this is the last movie of The Batman franchise. But I’m sure the world will wait with a tad bit of hope, to see the man in the black cape on screen again, cruising his way on the dark streets of Gotham, with a rhythmic sound of a heavy drum echoing in the background.  For this man isn’t merely a superhero who’s an outcome of fantasy, but a character that has been molded to reflect life’s harsh realities.

My rating- 3/5
