The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises is an American film that played in the year 2012 and was directed by Christopher Nolan. As a kid I always loved superheroes and superhero movies and Batman is definitely one of my favorites. But the story of Batman is definitely not for the faint of heart and is definitely not played by the traditional rules of what a superhero is and what he should be. He is constantly fighting with himself and what he should do but in the end he will have to make the hardest decision of all.The director Christopher Nolan Does a brilliant job of making another action packed comic movie to life and putting it on the big screen. What I love about it is they bring a lot of familiar faces back and we meet some new characters as well. "The …show more content…
Which builds a lot of suspense and is a scene that pulses with action. There are many examples of action and adventure and suspense in this film which is what makes me like it so much. How can you not want to root for the orphaned Bruce Wayne who has made so many sacrifices for himself and for others. "The Dark Knight Rises" is definitely a film that you do not want to miss. "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" In conclusion I think that anyone who has not seen this movie should definitely go out and buy it rent it do whatever you have to do. But you have to see this amazing

In a night where the town people were supposed to enjoy the new release of “The Dark Knight Rises”, a person or a couple, decided to turn it into a deadly and unforgettable night for the movie-goers.

    In Katie Walsh’s review of Batman v Superman, she clearly says how much she disliked the movie due to dull character personalities, lack of plot and a poorly executed final fight scene. She goes onto say how the “characters are as exciting as oatmeal.” (2.3) She explains how the characters lack any depth and how some characters seemed “miscast.” (2.4) Then with so many characters to follow there ends up being very little plot even with the movie being two and a half hours long. Basically the movie tried to do too much at one time.…

    and I would watch this specific film over and over again. The color used throughout the film are bright and warm when the focus is on the good characters and soon become dull and cold when the focus of the film shifts to the villains. I also loved how everything was placed in the frame which was hintful to what was going on which could easily help a new viewer have an idea of what is going on. The music in the background gives it a sense of suspense.…

    Mad Max: Fury Road and The Dark Knight feature societies that force the characters of each film to be more reliant on their human nature. The environments they live in cause them to become more reliant upon their survival instincts in dangerous situations while attempting to resort to their comfort zone to avoid such situations. The characters also are more focused on creating a concrete identity for themselves to create a strong first impression on those they encounter in their dystopic societies. Human nature a compelling theme for each of the films because exploring the different aspects of human nature allows people to be able to better psychologically analyze human behavior in the real world based on examples presented in…

    Was this the best superhero trilogy ever? Everyone has a different answer to this question, but I will explain why I believe this is the best Captain America movie and the best superhero trilogy. This is the best film in the MCU to date because it gives us a look into the future of the MCU. We see Black Panther and Spider-Man make their first appearance. This was the best way to introduce the two heroes because it allowed fans to get a glimpse at their backstory before they get their own franchise.…

    The movie starts out with a sequence that is much more exciting than both its predecessors combined. It’s immediately apparent that the CGI, although overused, has greatly improved. The cinematography also appeared to be better. Previously, most scenes would simply be basic pans and static shots between two characters talking. They were always just talking, with dialogue that was never very interesting.…

    Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight is one of the best iterations of Batman since the concept of Batman was first created in 1939; the film offers easy to digest bites of philosophy and a deeper look into human nature. At the same time, The Dark Knight provides insight into society's views on mental illness, what society believes mental illness looks like, and society's views toward the justice system. The Dark Knight is the highest grossing Batman film since the first Batman movie (ironically named Batman: The Movie) in 1966, and was even awarded "Movie of the Year" by AFI Awards. Despite the film's success and acclaim, what does The Dark Knight say about society's views on mental illness and our justice system?…
