So in conclusion of the Dark Knight series... I. Freaking. LOVED. It. MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD! ALERT! ALERT! AVERT! So, from the beginning, I found that DKR (Dark Knight Rises) was going to be a good version of an M. Night Shamalyan (sp?) movie. The opening scene was a surprise as it almost seemed like I was watching a live-action Call of Duty cutscene. But, the moment I heard Bane's voice, I shuddered; I consider his performance in this movie creepier than Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker in 'the Dark Knight'. *hears boos* Sorry, but that's my opinion. I seriously got chills as his dark, beady eyes would stare into my soul as he delivered his lines. I was confused though as I had NOT spotted a Poison Ivy at all in the movie. Thus, drew me to the conclusion (as my friend sat next to me who had seen it before me) that Miranda Tate was Poison Ivy. Upon asking my friend this, he replied with a simple 'no'. So, I went on, confused. As the movie progressed, I was a little skeptical on how Anne Hathaway would do at playing the sexy, sleek, and sarcastic Catwoman. To be honest, I was quite surprise! IN A GOOD WAY! Hathaway's role as Selina Kyle was perfectly played. So great and just...surprising! I liked how it was an 8 year gap between 'The Dark Knight' and 'The Dark Knight Rises'. Though, what happened to Joker? Understanding that Ledger's death could've been and was most likely the main cause of the disappearance of the Joker, but it was NEVER really explained in the movie itself; not even for a minute! I was a little disappointed in that, but still sat through the flick. Long story short, as things progressed SPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILER, I wondered WHY THE HECK I hadn't seen Poison Ivy! We finally see an apparition of Raa's Al Ghoul, we get a 'hint' that Officer Blake would become Robin, and then we figure out some backstory behind Bane's existence...BUT! Was Bane not a creation of Poison Ivy? That's why I continued to look for it. Then of course, as I guessed earlier in the film, Miranda Tate turns out to be Talia Al Ghoul. Oh. My. GOD. That was the BEST way to reveal her in this movie. I was really surprised she was even IN this movie! Either way, the revelation of Talia Al Ghoul in this movie just made me so happy. I literally left the theater in joy! All in all, 'the Dark Knight Rises' is a MUST-SEE movie! It's action-packed, creepy, clever, sometimes funny, and the most accurate Batman movie to date (besides the Dark Knight). Besides the fact of how Bane exists, this movie was spot on and fantastic! GO SEE IT!!!
