Still grief-stricken over past losses, billionaire Bruce Wayne is conflicted about once again donning the cape of his lethal alter ego, Batman, but defends Gotham when it 's threatened by new foes such as the slinky Catwoman and the sinister Bane.
Many people were encouraging me to watch this movie, for the incredible cinematography, the dialogues, the message. I have to be honest (and shameful), I finally saw it in a airplane, in a 4 inches screen... Not that effective. The story is interesting, the roles shifted, the dynamics of heroism come from different places, not essentially centered on the character of Batman. Anne Hathaway is funny and charming, I just realized the bad guy is actually the very attractive Tom Hardy, completely transformed, the cast is full of these amazing actors who are usually not choosing blockbusters, but in the end, the action is still massive, with a lot of explosions, and the hero in the end saving the world.

It’s a very long flick, but I could have honestly gone on longer. There was so many moments of pure epicness (I know it’s not a word, just stay with me here) and total entertainment, that I couldn’t help but keep my eyes glued to the screen at all times, regardless of what was going on with the story. Good review.
