why so serious?

Probably not the best way to end such an epic trilogy. But, of course, its always difficult to surpass the best, to meet the unusually high expectations, because of the standards set in the second edition. I've always loved watching superhero movies, more because of the action and the whole lot of fantasy, rather than the fact that it breaks me away from reality.

But, the Nolan's franchisee was always more than that. It was about a human who rose with his will, and of course the gadgets, to see Gotham through all difficulties. A human superhero, if i may. It'd those soul touching dialogues and the humane touch to the films. You start believing in all those qualities, we often crib about having missing in our times. You feel, yeah there's still hope. And even in the nights, there is a day, a bright one at that, waiting for you. Well, that's often the beauty of fiction, you show and see what you want to.

Coming back to the film, surely, joker can't be matched. But, Bane was good in his own way, with half his face covered in the mask. On the slower side in the first half, the last quarter was much rushed. It kept you on the edge. And the surprise was worth it. Probably, the last of the series, it's definitely worth a watch, with the catwoman, as well being an important cog. The transformation from broken down Bruce, to the charged up Bat was phenomenal in its own sense. Much like a forced hero, driven more with the urge to quit rather than passion. Somewhere you feel that it derailed from the track. But, for an ardent fan like me, i'd rather overlook. Moreover, i'd rather not say anymore. Its true that post Dark Knight and Inception, anyone would expect much better experience. Probably, next in line Batman and Robin would, or better still, should be delayed.

What stays with me- "There is no true despair without hope"

i read a drought warning in six states, including Maharashtra. Challenging times ahead, with all sorts of problems bothering the Indian economy. The days have been hectic on a personal note. And as i say on all my posts, i shall sincerely try to be more regular here. Adios for now!
