Movie review:The dark knight rises

The dark knight rises continues with the story of billionaire Bruce Wayne, played by Christian Bale after the death of Harvey dent. It also introduces characters Bane, played by Tom Hardy and Selina Kyle alias Catwoman, played b Anne Hathaway. Let me not waste time giving the movie's storyline and go straight to the review. The movie had a slow start at first but my adrenaline started to pump when Selina Kyle stole Wayne's mother's pearls from a highly protected secret compartment, unveiling her as one interesting character instead of a normal waitress we all thought she was initially. Christian Bale, once again, delivers a heart warming performance in this last installment of the highly successful series. Tom Hardy, gave an interesting performance as Bane, this movie's main villain, with a personality as strong as steel and a voice that sends chills down the spines of the movie's viewers.but the best part part of the movie came at the end when Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard) unveils as the Batman's nemesis, making it one of the best cliffhangers I have seen in a while. Marion Cotillard oozes grace as the movie's silent poison, the green snake under the green grass, lying in wait until she is in the best position to strike. Tom Hardy gave an impressive performance as Bane, and made sure Bane came across as a ruthless villian, but I feel Heath ledger's the Joker was a much more interesting villain to watch.

Though Hardy tried to bring forth Bane as the franchise's best villain, Ledger's the Joker still stands as the best villain of the franchise. The sound effects, as usual, were exceptional. Christopher Nolan surely has the ability to assemble a remarkable team that anastomoses beautifully to make sure the final installment of the series is a masterpiece, which it turned out to be. But, the most interesting character turned out to be Selina Kyle, played Marvellously by Hathaway, with such sleekness and sexiness that any female superhero should embody. She works the cat woman suit much better than her predecessors Halle Berry and Michelle Pfieffer while at the same time, giving smooth dialogue and mesmerizing the audience with her smart and quick humorous thinking. All in all, the movie turned out to be a perfect ending to a perfect series with a perfect cast and an extremely perfect crew.
