The Dark Knight Rises (2012) 8/10

Starring : Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway
Director : Christopher Nolan
Running Time : 165 mins

Having taken the blame for crimes he didn’t commit in order to help restore order to Gotham, Bruce Wayne (Bale) has hung up his cowl and cape and retired from being The Batman, but when a criminal named Bane (Hardy) holds Gotham City hostage with a nuclear device and removes the wealthiest members of society from their homes and puts them on trial, Bruce is forced to once again don the mantle of Batman.

In spite of an incredibly long runtime, this is an engrossing thriller that manages to keep up its momentum from start to finish. Fans of Batman will be impressed with this third part in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy, and may be surprised or even a little disappointed at how it ends, but Bruce Wayne has never been better as a host of villains manage to worm their way into this dark and brooding finale.
