For so long it seems I have been speculating about what
would happen in the final instalment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy and
getting over excited about trailers and teasers. Now, finally, I know what
happened, and without spoilers here are my immediate reflections on the movie.
When I left the cinema at the end I was tingling with
excitement and adrenaline and desperate to go and watch it again, which in fact I did a few days later and had the same reaction the second time. It seems so
rare these days that a film leaves you with such a feeling but this one did in
abundance. In fact the whole movie was a fairly emotional rollercoaster amidst
the action and intrigue and I felt satisfied with the way the story had
progressed.
The threat to Gotham was renewed again, with new villain
Bane taking centre stage in the plot, although there were far more new
characters on the scene than just Bane. I also found myself grinning like a
maniac at several points of the film when things just worked perfectly and tied
in with the previous films, but I will leave you to discover your own grinning
moments.
The complexity of the plot was in keeping with the rest of
the series and I know it is one of those films that I will not only enjoy each
time I see it, I will spot things I had not noticed before. This is not sugar
coated Batman, it is as tragic and tortured as it is powerful, and the
conclusion to Nolan’s series, if indeed it is to be a conclusion, certainly worked
for me.
