Batman:
The Dark Night Rises
After the huge success of the previous film
“Batman The Dark Night”, audiences held high expectations for the
successor. One may see that Christopher
Nolan has become a victim of his own success, through the success of the predecessor.
Many regardless of the quality of the “Dark Night Rises” will not be satisfied,
however I found it highly engaging, with few parts dragging on and the overall
plot fairly easy to follow regardless of if the viewer has followed the series.
There are however flaws which are emphasised by the sheer length of the film
(2hours 45minutes), that result in the
first hour feeling slow relative to later scenes. At times the film also feels
like it is being stretched or quickly brought to an end. Bane(the villan) has
the opportunity to kill Batman and doesn’t and towards the end of the film
Batman is repeatedly present in the right place at the right time, yet in
earlier in the film there is no progress. Overall the film is engaging besides
a few minor flaws and being in the inevitable shadow of “The Dark Night” .
Stars: 4/5
