'The Dark Knight Rises' is a brilliant film, the acting is top notch with everyone giving it their all, especially Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy who stood out the most. The films effects are great, creating a realistic Gotham City. The narrative/story is well constructed and produced which includes some twists along the way. The film also ties in some sub-story lines and hints at other things that are known for being in the Batman universe, such as Robin, which is great. The characters are developed brilliantly, making them believable and engaging.
The premise of the film is also great as it focuses on topics such as ethical, social and political issues rather than mindless action and explosions which are usually featured in Superhero films. Terrorism is also a big part of the film, which is portrayed through Bane perfectly. 'The Dark Knight Rises' also focuses more on the character Bruce Wayne rather than his Batman persona, which was surprising but in a good way as it's different to the typical, cliché superhero film.
'The Dark Knight Rises' is overall my favourite film of 2012 so far, it accomplishes everything possible for the Batman universe/franchise even if it was a bit too long. Christopher Nolan and the cast have done a great job at telling the dark side of Batman. I strongly recommend this film! Also if you're wondering I do believe that Heath Ledger's (R.I.P) performance as the Joker is better than Tom Hardy's as Bane, although both are brilliant. I also believe that both films are equally as good as they tell different chapters of Batmans life perfectly.
