THE DARK KNIGHT RISES; Carlisle’s Final Word.

"Theatricality and deception, powerful agents for the uninitiated. But we are initiated, aren't we Bruce?"
Bane.
 
 
Script Logic; 1/2
Pace; 1/2
Acting; 2/2
Aesthetic; 2/2
Originality & Intention; 2/2

Score; 8/10
 

Final Word; Well, it’s certainly going to be the last of the Nolan Batman films, at no mistake. Powerful, thrilling, broody and epic. Like its predecessor the second act feels a little longer than necessary, but hey, no big deal. Could easily have suffered without the Joker’s up-beat mania, but Tom Hardey’s bane more than steps up as Batman’s strongest foe, offering intimidation in spades and even the odd moment of gallows’ humour. Again, the film’s more earnest moments are handled expertly by secondary characters Jim Gordon and Alfred the butler, again giving the film its heart. Look out for a scene stealing turn from a previous Batman villain as a self-appointed ’judge & jury’.
A film so good, it deserves a second quote?
 
"A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a little boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended."
Batman
