4. The Dark Knight Rises
($499,387,889.52)
Ah, yes, The Dark Knight Rises. The Nolan trilogy’s sad little brother.
I don’t know what Nolan originally planned for his third film, but I doubt it was this mess. It’s frustrating to watch, because Nolan is still a good filmmaker. Unfortunately, he was driven by bad decisions with this one. The villains are just Occupy Wall Street? Really? Bane is Anarky with a terribly silly voice. Batman does nothing but retire and be grumpy about being Batman. Catwoman is boring and underdeveloped. Bane is boring and underdeveloped. Hell, BATMAN is boring and underdeveloped.
Bale’s Batman has always been the worst part of Nolan’s Bat-films. But in this one, he’s somehow the best part. It’s not even that he’s better; it’s just that the rest of the movie is so much worse.
Okay, okay, good things. Michael Caine is still great. He’s always great, though. It looks gorgeous again.
I’m sorry, folks, it’s just nowhere near as good as the previous two. Is it Chris Nolan’s worst movie? I dunno; I haven’t seen Interstellar.
