Review of The Dark Knight Rises (2012) by Jared C — 13 May 2015
The most formulaic, superhero-studio film of the trilogy, we have the thunderously exciting final chapter of Nolan's revolutionary, and generation-drooling Batman trilogy. The movie punts along early with some orgasmic Bane moments & classy story establishments, but mainly dreary Gotham statuses making us wonder that's all that happened after 8 years. But the movie doesn't really get into high gear until the pivotal turning point of evils rise.
The rest of the film builds with a tremendously mesmerizing intensity of a territorial control in the most epic hostage initiation in film history, and a rumbling Batman climax, shaking the roof off the cinemas.
One word: satisfying, as we part farewell to a brilliantly raw, & never-before-seen approach on superhero blockbusters. The vision here is extraordinary. One of the best story's & final chapter premises Nolan could've come up with. Disregard its slightly disappointing conventional nature in storytelling, and the lack-there-of feeling the extreme level of pain & horror that is occurring on screen. There's really nothing to be unsatisfied here with the grandiose spectacle on screen that had the whole world stop to watch in awe of its epic, terrifying ambition. A trilogy that put a stamp on 21st century blockbusters.
