This is THE most anticipated film of 2012 and it seems like it took forever to get to our big screens. Theres been speculation, criticism but mostly excitement.
Firstly, the choice if casting in Anne Hathaway was excellent. She stole the show as Cat-woman despite being so criticised when she was announced for the role, but Hathaway made the character the most believable yet. Although we may not steal as much as she does everyone who isn't rich understands where she's coming from and in this day and age most people agree with her views, but her wit is brilliant and it's a pleasure to watch a female character that is just as good as the males in this film.
The second thing that jumped out at me was the brutality of the film. The battles between Bane and Batman are very physical and resembles the brutality to the extent of bare knuckle boxing. It was nice to see a villain in Nolan's film that could challenge Batman physically but it's a demonstration of Nolan's creativity of great characters by making him a mastermind. The the mask wasa a clever touch giving him this anamalistic edge and his accent didn't suffer for it, you could understand him all the way through the film in contrast to earlire complaints. But it was Hardy's acting that bought a very 3 dimensional character to the screen, the way he could act just through his eyes was very impressive and on learning his back story it doesn't make him any less of a monster but just someone you understand as to why he's a monster, he definitely deserved a more fitting end.
Even though this film is a sequel to the dark knight it's more of a stand alone film and Bale and Caine bring the emotion to the screen which was a lovely contrast to the agression in the movie. Do not be comparing it to the dark knight, its a very different film with very different villains but non the less just as good, athough there are a few niggling bits about it. Regardless, Bane is a very scary villain and the Bat Cat banter is more than enough reason to give a watch.
