Finally got a chance to watch The Dark Knight Rises last night and there are a few things I wanted to comment regarding the movie. What you can expect this time around is the same sort of atmosphere and strong characters we all appreciated in the previous two movies. Christopher Nolan has directed this one masterfully. The script isn't the best aspect of this particular movie. It's the convincing and well-written characters that carry the movie to a pretty solid finale. There are some extremely powerful scenes involving Bruce Wayne as he straps on his Batman suit to fight the villains of Gotham once more.
Bane is an awesome villain, but as I explained to Vince last night, Christopher seems to have a knack for bringing out the evil in a character to the point where you get blown away. That, coupled with Tom Hardy's cool stance as he marches onto the scene as Gotham's worse nightmare, makes for a must-see. Granted, you can sense the absence of Heath Ledger's incredible performance. That's just unavoidable. However, The Dark Knight Rises stands on its own and gives the Dark Knight trilogy a fitting ending, hinting the birth of new superheroes at the end, of course.
In short, this is a movie you have to watch if you like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

Apart from that it's apparently fucking amazing. I'm probably going to see it on Monday.
If you haven't watched it , stop here !
The script was well easy to guess ,
They show you an armory , you know the bad guy is gonna get it. They tell you the reactor can be used as a bomb , you know the bad guy is gonna get it.
Catwoman act was awful. Batman breaks his back and probably spinal chord and still gets up to jump and dance. The ending was crap and again , an easy american endong.
Bane was brilliant , until you realize he doesnt have a real idioligy - juat love for the hindu girl , who's not suppose to be hindu , because ras ah gul is not hindu ( the pit is near udpur or jaipur , rajastahn, india).
The final 'rebel' attack should have been repeled easy with one armoured batmobile.
Character development was really good , but stopped and the whole story turned into a lame love opera.
I can go on and on with too many examples.
All in all i gave it a 5/10.
Good to see it recommended by the AT man.
A lot of the things that happened throughout the course of the film were pretty predictable but at the same time, they were still pretty harsh moves. Even the ending was predictable but at the same time, gave a kind of closure to the films.
It's interesting that before the '89 Batman,, Michael Keaton already had the "batman" face and Jack Nicholson already had the "joker" smile.
The feeling the 1989 Batman had will never repeat itself.
The very fact that Ledger has made people forget Nicholson's Joker is proof itself of how brilliant Ledger was as Joker. I guess you don't remember, stardust, but leading up to the Dark Knight its definitely not as if people were under-appreciating Nicholson's Joker. Indeed, it was a common talking point, with most people convinced that while Ledger might be good, Nicholson would always be king. I was *myself* in that category of expectation, actually.
And then look what happened.
Credit where credit is due... Ledger is the best Joker of all time. It was easily the best performance of his career, and probably would've ended up being his career's break-out moment, like De Niro in Godfather 2, if he hadn't foolishly offed himself shortly after.
That, and the plot twist she represented was so obvious I saw it coming more than an hour before the movie got to it, and I'm sure others here did, too.
"Hmm, this character's name isn't a love interest from the comics. Hmm, she just shagged Bruce. Hmm, she's a bit foreign and exotic. Hmm, she just conveniently got control of Bruce's fusion reactor thingy... yep, that's totally Talia. Wonder when the reveal is coming."
Heath Ledger wasn't even recognizable as himself in the role, and one simply can't achieve that without a truly profound performance.
It would be a sacrilege to put Heath Ledger and his role as the Joker up there with any of those. I'll put him a bit lower, maybe with Brad Pitts best performance, or Leonardo Di Caprio's; which are just ...good acting.
