caulfield12 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) The result, in Christopher Nolan's conclusion to his Batman trilogy, is an ambitious superhero movie with two surprises: It isn't very much fun, and it doesn't have very much Batman. I'm thinking of the over-the-top action sequences of the earlier films that had a subcurrent of humor, and the exhilarating performance of Heath Ledger as the Joker. This movie is all serious drama, with a villain named Bane whose Hannibal Lecterish face-muzzle robs him of personality. And although we see a good deal of Bruce Wayne, his alter-ego Batman makes only a few brief appearances before the all-out climax. Bane, played by Tom Hardy in a performance evoking a homicidal pro wrestler, is a mystery because it's hard to say what motivates him. He releases thousands of Gotham's criminals in a scenario resembling the storming of the Bastille. As they face off against most of the city police force in street warfare, Bane's goal seems to be the overthrow of the ruling classes. But this would prove little if his other plan (the nuclear annihilation of the city) succeeds. Bane stages two other sensational set pieces, involving destroying the Stock Exchange and blowing up a football stadium, that seemed aimed at our society's twin gods of money and pro sports. No attempt is made to account for Bane's funding and resources, and when it finally comes down to Bane and Batman going mano-a-mano during a street fight, it involves an anticlimactic fist-fight. He blows up the city's bridges and to top that lands a right hook on Batman's jaw? This is a dark and heavy film; it tests the weight a superhero movie can bear. That Nolan is able to combine civil anarchy, mass destruction and a Batcycle with exercise-ball tires is remarkable. That he does it without using 3D is admirable. That much of it was shot in the 70mm IMAX format allows it to make that giant screen its own. That it concludes the trilogy is inevitable; how much deeper can Nolan dig? It lacks the near-perfection of "The Dark Knight" (2008), it needs more clarity and a better villain, but it's an honorable finale. . http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.d...VIEWS/120719981 Ebert gave it 3 stars...that's the hard thing if you're Nolan, to top yourself...everything gets compared to Memento, TDK and Inception 87% positive at RT, 119 good reviews, 18 negatives Edited July 19, 2012 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 So here are the spoliers, DO NOT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW. Youve been warned There are arguably 3 twists: 1)Bane is not the ultimate bad guy, Miranda is, 2) Miranda is the daughter of Ra's Al Ghul, and 3) John Blake is Robin. The first two were done well, the third felt forced and does not really follow the Batman story arc at all. And everything ends happy, yay.
