Perfect movie to start writing a review for:
The Dark Knight Rises
Its
not every day that you get to see a movie of this standard which
overhauls your expectations and makes mince of your hypocrisy just with
sheer truth.
To start with I have seen The Dark Knight (Say about 4-5 times) and I literally fell in love with the
Joker character essayed by Heath Ledger. I have watched parts of The Batman Begins (I am lucky to have watched the part where Batman gets to
train under the league of shadows). Trust me on this just see this part alone at least in YouTube its brilliant.
So my review is just from a normal film-goers point of view not someone who is passionate or seriously following the batman franchise (NTM:Now I am making every effort to do it soon).
The film starts in a similar fashion
like The Dark Knight conquered by a silent shot showcasing Gotham city
welcoming you back to view its splendor. You are glad to see Jim Gordon
(Gary Oldman) soon in action heaping praise on the former district
attorney the late Harvey Dent (Plz watch The Dark Knight to know more)
and about the great achievements of conquering crime casualty in the
city on his (Harvey Dent) anniversary. The catch is he hides a letter
that tells the truth about the former district attorney saying the time
has not arrived yet.
(My apologies to all tech and gadget
lovers : I am not good or knowledgeable about it so the remaining part
is just written from a layman POV; PS: Hope you continue reading).
Then comes the much anticipated entry of
the villain Bayne (Tom Hardy) as always giving a grand entry similar to
the Joker this time even bigger. Don't want to reveal a lot but just
imagine you get your hostage on a plane with armed forces and still you
are not safe as you are shadowed by a much bigger bird. Get the picture
ya crazy and total fun.

The hostage is a Russian man
Dr.Pavel who is believed to be the only man on the planet to control the
complex nuclear reactor. As you would expect this is built at Wayne
enterprises on intent of creating energy and helping out the world. Then
the much awaited entry of Christian Bale happens and Bruce Wayne
cripples his way through the screen and meets Selina Kayle (a jewel
thief and sooner known as the Catwoman).(Don't worry this is not a
spoiler).
In due course of time you can get
the picture that Selina(Anne Hathaway) just wanted to get hold of
Wayne's fingerprints to get it into the hands of someone who wishes to
destruct Wayne enterprise and acclaim its power, but things don't go the
way he expects and the whole enterprise lands into the hands of Mirinda
Tate (Marion Cotillard) who earns the trust of Bruce Wayne through her
charity endeavors.

Then as we expect a lot of things
happens, Bayne gets total control of Wayne Enterprises and the Nuclear
reactor and he keeps saying he just wants to give Gotham back to its
people as Ra's Al Ghul's dream. Then you get it down to the wire and the
nuclear explosion is on a countdown and whether Batman, Catwoman, Jim
Gordon and all these forces manage to save Gotham forms the remaining
part of the story.
(Plz Read the remaining part below its not about the story but about the movie)
There are a lot of spoilers I can say but I know how it feels to be on the receiving end (So I will try to never do it).
So what is so special about the batman and this movie The Dark Knight Rises?

First thing is go expecting the maximum level you want from this movie you will get it that is the talent of this great 41 year old man Christopher Nolan.
I believe there were two backstage heroes for this movie one is indisputably Christopher Nolan and the other is Hans Zimmer.
More than the story or the superhero
feel you get, its literally the goosebumps and kind of totally getting
obsessed and unknowingly you start cheering the Batman deep inside your
heart for the truth.
Be it in the initial stages where
Bruce gets his small talk with Alfred (Michael Caine) where you see
glimpses of the coveted Batman suit or after a long hiatus he visits
Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) and he (Fox) takes him to their secret
defense lab where you set eyes on the most imaginative weaponery that
even USA could not steal from Iraq LOL.
More Goosebumps Movements below:
- The entry of the Batman on the bike with big wheels setting the road on fire chasing Bayne.
- The scene where Bruce takes the long leap to escape from the prison of hell.
- The scene when you can see Gordon given death by exile by the court system of Bane and he walks over thick ice and once he lights up the fire from the device you can see the Bat symbol on one of the buildings of Gotham through the fire (Really Majestic Looking)
There are many more.
You will really enjoy the characters
like Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) in the movie. Unexpected twists and
turns will form the climax of this classic superhero movie.
The dialogues are just plucked out from heaven for instance try this one
"One Man's tool is another Man's weapon"
Hans Zimmer BGM is the talking point
of the movie you will get disturbed by it so such an extent that you
can literally sense what's happening just through the resonating sounds
of the dark.
After all Christopher Nolan has done
you just wish you can build a statue for him and he does that in the
movie for our superhero The Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight Rises will be a
movie which will break barriers and control all the minds of people to
be connected with Gotham city and also one of the biggest bets to make
people stand for the truth or at least stay in the shadow of it.
One question in all your minds; Does Batman Die?
I will just quote a line from the movie for it
"It
doesn't take much to become a hero all it needs is to put a coat over a
young boy and assure him the world's not at it's end"
So
heroes don't die? No it means there is no dearth of heroes but we
always wish for god or superheroes to solve our problems even when he
has given us the brains to do it.
Pick Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises DVDs and mark them as the 3 of the 100 movies you gotta see b4 u retire into the dark.
I admire you for what you are and
what you will become. I am sad that the Batman franchise has ended and
am hoping against hope that you do at least minimum of 3 more sequels to
it.
Also Chris, I think you are missing one thing in life (reactions in cinema halls). The best place to try it will be Chennai Sathyam cinemas,
I hope you come over and watch the movie here, you know the cheers and
applause you get here will make you want to come closer to us and feel
that you have been honored.
For instance see this is how they honor you on the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises

Chris I think you gotta see movie of
this actor called Rajinikanth FDFS in Tamilnadu. You have brilliantly
created a mass appeal on screen through your talents but this actor will
do it by just coming on screen. I know its impossible but thinking that
you both join hands and if you get a movie done. The only trouble you
will have is always having a dearth of tickets even for you to see the
movie.
My Request to Sathyam Cinemas:
Plz move The Dark Knight Rises to
Sathyam main screen instead of Billa 2 that's what is fair I feel and am
sure most people will agree.
(No offense to Ajith Fans)
PS; If u have not plz watch the movie in Sathyam Cinemas that's the Real Enjoyment
