The Dark Knight Rises

this was totally all over the place. don’t hate the ending to the trilogy, bane was fun, what i did hate was the plot twist. nolan typically has fun plot twists, this one was pointless and added nothing and coulda been removed to make the movie shorter instead of undermining bane as a villain. i also can’t figure out if i dislike batman’s or bane’s voice more, like what are we doing. i also don’t like when the villain coulda just killed the superhero but he’s dumb and puts him in a prison that he just breaks out of. like cmon. also there were just a lot of plot holes, like right everyone just knows bruce wayne is batman now magically, and there is just a giant underground movement after 8 years of peace sure. also the whole main plot and villain motivations were just a redo of batman begins which they explain but is kinda lame. adding robin was also pretty forgettable, kinda surprised there wasn’t a spinoff. the fight scenes with bane and batman were pretty mid and a lot of grunting and not so great choreography. also the writing was pretty buns except for a few one liners, not super surprising from nolan tho. okay after that long list of complaints, if you’ve made it this far, you might be wondering why i’m even rating it even this highly. it was just really fun. batman and his cool contraptions doing cool stuff, bruce escaping from the pit, the amazing cillian murphy cameo. alfred had prob the best arc, and i actually quite like the ending, works well for the trilogy, a nice place to finish off. this movie def gets an extra half star tho bc anne hathaway is just so fine for the whole movie, wish there was more with her as cat woman 😭 finished off nolan’s filmography with this one and im off to see the odyssey!
