MOVIE REVIEW: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

2012

DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN

STARRING CHRISTIAN BALE, TOM HARDY, MICHAEL CAINE, ANNE HATHAWAY, MORGAN FREEMAN, AND MARION COTTILARD

RATED PG-13 FOR INTENSE SEQUENCES OF VIOLENCE AND ACTION, SOME SENSUALITY AND LANGUAGE

Today I will be reviewing the film "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012), the third and final film in the Batman trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan.

I found the film to be a fitting end to this excellently made trilogy. Though not as good as the film's predecessor, "The Dark Knight" (2008), the film still manages to pull off a superb end to the trilogy. The acting was good, as well as the plot, and the music. Overall I found it to be a great film
MOVIE REVIEW: THE DARK KNIGHT

2008

DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN

STARRING CHRISTIAN BALE, HEATH LEDGER, GARY OLDMAN, MICHAEL CAINE, AARON ECKHART, MAGGIE GYLLENHALL, AND MORGAN FREEMAN

RATED PG-13 FOR INTENSE SEQUENCES OF VIOLENCE AND SOME MENACE

Today I will be reviewing the film "The Dark Knight" (2008). It is the second film in the Batman trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. I found it to be a terrific film, better than "Batman Begins", the first film in the trilogy. I found the highlight of the film to be Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker.

The film has very intense, dark scenes of violence. The plot was superb, the same with the acting, mainly Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker. With dark humor and a sadistic personality, Ledger superbly pulls off an amazing portrayal. The Music was good as well. Overall, I found the film to be the best in the trilogy.




MOVIE REVIEW: BATMAN BEGINS

2005

DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN

STARRING, CHRISTIAN BALE, KATIE HOLMES, LIAM NEESON, MICHAEL CAINE, GARY OLDMAN, CILLIAN MURPHY, AND MORGAN FREEMAN


RATED PG-13 FOR INTENSE ACTION VIOLENCE, DISTURBING IMAGES AND SOME THEMATIC ELEMENTS.


Today I will review the film "Batman Begins"(2005), the first film in the Batman trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. It chronicles the origin of Batman.

I found the film realistic and dark, with a large aspect of the film focusing on fear. The violence in the film is intense, with disturbing images and dark, violent action scenes. It surely has resurrected the Batman film series since the corny and horrible "Batman and Robin" (1997). The acting is good, with Michael Caine excellently portraying an at times humorous Alfred. The Plot and the visuals are good, with Nolan toning down the CGI, and so is the music. Hans Zimmer's haunting Batman theme is especially superb. Overall, I found the movie to be a great chance to take Batman back to his dark, gritty roots.
