The Dark Knight Rises

- Christopher Nolan

To paraphrase Bane, it is hope that hurts us most. However, despite high expectations and its length, I thoroughly enjoyed the third instalment of Nolan’s Batman trilogy, whilst acknowledging that it doesn’t exceed the high watermark of The Dark Knight. The anti-capitalist sentiment was of particular note, given that it was dichotomic – comment, mainly by Selina Kyle, is permitted but action will only result in anarchy. Somewhat more problematic, however, was the multiple false endings. Credit to all involved, except Caine, whose dramatics should have curtailed. Perhaps Joseph Gordon-Levitt said it best - “I’m still a believer in the Batman”.
