This is quite a late post. Me and Dianne watched the movie at SM Sta. Rosa last July 29, 2012 *bummer*. The movie was awesome. I know its such a cliche word but for me Christopher Nolan delivered the perfect ending to his amazing trilogy. We saw the world of Gotham City through his eyes. I know that Batman has encountered countless revamps through the cartoons, series and movies but this ride was quite addicting. The name Dark Knight was fitting to the character Christian Bale performed; not only was he busily battling Gotham's antagonists, he was also having a battle within himself and this movie had its most awaited conclusion.
The story is not your everyday hero-saves-the-day scenario, sure he had this cool gadgets and other I-wish-I-had-those-stuff, not to mention his really cool motorbike and jet (okay I was gawking) but the story was so complex. The story went back to the beginning of everything. There was this twist....okaaaaaay I won't spoil you guys, but it has something to do with his first antagonist (I shall stop there). With that, the viewers will see how he did battle himself and succeeded, risen from the ashes. (of course he did, he was the lead role and a hero at that)
Dianne, me (yep drinking Green Tea with Calamansi) and Arian (she didn't watch with us because she already did...just so happened, she was there for a project implementation)
The story started 8 years after the events where Harvey Dent (also as 2 face) and his childhood friend (whom he loved) Rachel died. Commissioner Gordon was living in guilt while Bruce Wayne was shutting himself out from society much to his old friend Alfred's dismay and the Dark Knight will forever remain a fugitive....or will he? The story did end to my satisfaction and wish that there would be another Batman movie involving him and Robin (the dynamic duo)..there I said it. Tom Hardy did an extraordinary job as Bane that he made me want to strangle him and rip that mask off his face especially when at first I didn't understand what he was talking about, what the heck is that accent? Kidding aside, he did a great job considering that he would have to fill the big shoes left behind by Heath Ledger as The Joker (where he did a *hands down* the best joker I have ever seen). Anne Hathaway did a perfect Catwoman (of course I'm biased...I love her...she is an amazing actress to begin with) And the catwoman-batman tandem satisfied my quench for their loveline...there I did it again..Oh well, I recommend this movie to all comic enthusiasts out there and to those who would want a good story bundled with your favorite comic book characters and of course the awesome Christian Bale and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and The Dark Knight and Robin (?). Christian Bale was so awesome that as my friend Arian told me, he would make the perfect Christian Grey of the 50 shades trilogy (along with my other two candidates, Matt Bomer and Ian Somerlader) but that is another story. :P
I haven't watched completely the first installment Batman Begins (I know I'm a loser) I always see the movie either its in its credits or the last half of the story (damn you HBO! LOL~) But I did watch The Dark Knight of course in the silver screen.
Here are the characters:
- Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman
- Tom Hardy as Bane
- Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake/Robin(?)
- Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth
- Gary Oldman as Commisioner James Gordon
- Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox
- Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate
"A hero can be as simple as a man putting his coat around a little boy's shoulders and reassuring him the world hadn’t ended yet...." - Batman
