The Dark Knight Rises
You know how much I hated the previous installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman series, so it should come as a surprise that I found The Dark Knight Rises more palatable. Maybe I’m getting use to Nolan?
The main difference between the two Dark Knight films is that this one is actually as comic booky as could be. There’s a guy with a mask that talks funny, and it ain’t Darth Vader. There’s all kinds of comic book action: Batman gets his back broken! Then there’s all kinds of comic book plots like the back stabbing (literally!) twist in the end. Of course, I never read any Batman books so it all came as a surprise to me.
In the end though, it was decent but The Avengers kicks its ass.
3 of 5 stars.
