Movie Review: The Dark Knight Rises
Since I am not an action-hero movie buff, there are not many in-depth views that I have about the Dark Knight Rises. All in all, I can just say that the movie was enjoyable, with a decent script and lot of good special effects to be fully involved.
But there were a couple of interesting things I thought of after coming out of the theatre. For one, in the Dark Knight Rises, the focus is on Batman rather than the villain which was very unlike the last movie. When you came out of the movie theatre, you thought about Batman, his troubles, his doubts and his rise rather than Bane. This was in sharp contrast to the Dark Knight where all that was in your head was the Joker and Batman was relegated to a supporting presence. Also, Bane as the villain was too plain, just a strong body and a couple of people he controls. Not too much about him to remember.
Another interesting point in the movie was its portrayal about what may happen when the 99% take over from the 1%. I am not supporting either group, but one thing the movie does bring out is giving direct power to the people brings out the mob mentality where right and wrong blurs out. Maybe that is why we have a representative democracy where the direct power is in the hands of a select few rather than everyone? Just some food for thought..
Anyways, as I said it was a good enjoyable movie, would give it 4 stars.
