The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises, the third film of the trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan, without a doubt can be described as the darkest and most violent, and with enough adrenaline to leave the audience breathless and wanting for more. And all this after nearly three hours of footage, which go by flying and without feeling them.

This third installment returns to the beginning of everything and does so with intelligence and without falling into common mistakes when it comes to those little details that make up the plot. 

One of the successes of Nolan is the time to build and present not only new but also old characters, without making the narration dense or confusing. The additions of Bane (Tom Hardy) and Selina (Anne Hathaway) is one of those pleasant surprises. And we must consider that the Bane character's success possibilities were tantalized by the shadow of an unforgettable Joker.

This is a superhero movie made ​​for adults and for our actual world. The games of our beloved Joker were that, games, whereas what drives Bane is nothing more than the false desire to free a people and then destroy it.

Hence, one of the wildest lines of the film is the villain saying that there can be no hope without despair there before and fear. Only when a society is scared and hopeful at the same time, it is also confused enough to become a time bomb, where laws and justice are only sophistry.

The music in this film is an extra character, appearing and disappearing at key moments, as when it turns its back to Batman to show him in his most vulnerable side or when it gives a dose of utter madness to action scenes that make the heart accelerate.

Two slightly negative aspects of this movie that can be mentioned are the dialogues and the Catwoman. Comparetively to the previous chapter, the dialogues are somewhat flatter. As for the Catwoman, Hathaway did well, but her face and her acting history make it hard to buy that she is a badass. 

“The Dark Knight Rises” is an intelligent film, disturbing, exciting and brilliantly told, leaving us shocked and with a feeling of “I want to see it again now”, while Christopher Nolan consolidates as the contemporary director with this unique capacity unique and almost unparalleled skill for storytelling.
