Dark Knight Rises

Today I watched the Blu-Ray of Dark Knight Rises, the final batman movie with Christian Bale.

To say this movie is awesome is an enormous understatement. There's a lot of action and drama in this one, after all it ends the Batman trilogy so it had to go out in style. They have Cat Woman in this one, played by the lovely Anne Hathaway and the super villain Bane, played by Tom Hardy. Bane's voice is so creepy and so awesome. And at the end of the movie, we learn that we even have Robin, whom will most likely take charge of the city now that The Bat is gone. Fun fact, Bale said he'd never do a Batman movie if Robin was part of it, but I guess since Robin was just an guy with no costume and that we didn't know he was Robin until the very end, Bale was OK with that.

Bane wants to destroy Gotham and he even beats Batman on their first fight, and Wayne takes weeks to get back into shape to try again. During that time, Bane took over the city and it's completely chaos. All of that and the prospect of an atomic bomb going off at any time.

The end of the movie took me by surprise. I didn't see that betrayal plot coming at all. Like in most Batman comics and video games, I knew Batman would hook up with the Cat Woman, so I wasn't really surprised by that. It was such a great ending. Tying up all the loose ends nicely.

IMDB has it rated at 8.8 and on IMDB's top 250 movies of all time it's ranked at 33. I give my own rating of 10 for this movie! It is so bad ass! You got to watch it!
