| Review: The epic conclusion to Christopher Nolan's trilogy. And a nice conclusion I would say. We explore once more the troubled psyche of the Batman. The big villain poses yet another threat to Gotham City, after madness in Batman Begins and chaos in the Dark Knight, now it is anarchy and senseless desctuction. The movie is a good mix of the two first ones: sometimes (rarely) a pure super-hero movie, but more often one with police and terrorists, kidnapping and robberies. The atmosphere of the movie is as dark and pessimist as in the two previous, maybe too much. This is what annoys me with this movie, like it did in the Dark Knight: there is never a release of the tension. I understand this has to do with the "dark" atmosphere of the movie, but without lighter moments, it is more difficult to feel involved when one catastrophy follows another. This being said, I cannot blame Nolan for taking his spectators seriously, when I see so many other movies where we are taken for idiots. |

I viewed the movie on 08.08.2012, in Schauburg, Bremen. I found great the way the viewer builds his mind and is completely bluffed by the actions at the end of the movie! Indeed, like in all his last movies (Inception, Batman trilogy), Nolan does not want to stop the action more than 30 seconds.
ReplyDeleteThe movie is actually rather optimistic, not on the corrupt society, but on the personal relationships. The father/child relation with Blake, the child father relationship with Alfred, the love relationship with Selina.
It is also the first time, Gotham city is seen as part of a country!
