The Dark Knight Rises

I watched this movie last week and and kind of enjoyed it.

With the passing of Harvey Dent, Gotham City enjoys peace for eight years.   This is exactly the same amount of time that Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, has hidden from the public scene, deflated and depressed. 

Peace is temporary for Gotham City that is destined to eternal havoc by criminals.  This time, they are faced with a bigger stronger and devious Bane.  Bruce faces the biggest challenge of his life in trying to defeat the new villain in town.

The movie is quite predictable in how things will unfold, fall and fit into places from start to end.  It is interesting that it gives a new twist to the introduction of Robin as Batman's succession.  However, it is a disappointment that they didn't give Robin a bigger role to play in this movie. 

Rating:  4.5 out of 5 fairy clouds.   It is still a decent enjoyable movie.  Catwoman is amazing but I disagree that she has a heart and will stay behind to save Batman.  That is kind of out of character.    While I like Marion Cotillard as a actress, I feel that her character failed to ignite any chemistry with Bruce Wayne.
