The Dark Knight Rises (2012)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Christopher Nolan
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, Warner Bros.)

A downtrodden Bruce Wayne is coerced back into action as Batman when a new menace threatens Gotham City with nuclear annihilation. His romantic life becomes more interesting with the introduction of Anne Hathaway as the Cat Woman, although she is never called that by name. She wears skin tight leather and is one of the more annoying characters in recent memory. Perhaps the worst of the trilogy (assuming this is the last one), it resorts to the most obvious action cliche of all for the drawn out finale: the countdown clock. A pompous, self-serious melodrama with a soundtrack to match.
