Watched this a couple of weeks back and I'd say I really like this one.
Christian Bale - an actor whom I've grown to love watching since I saw him in 'Equilibrium' and then 'The Fighter', did a great job playing the role of the 'fallen' hero of Gotham City who rises up again in the midst of crises.
Then there was Anne Hathaway who played the sexy Selina Kyle - notably known as the cat burglar or 'Catwoman'. In this, you'd see the different and wilder side to Hathaway. And dayum, was she hot!
Of course there were other great actors and actress such as Michael Caine who played the role of Alfred Pennyworth - Wayne's butler; Gary Oldman as James Gordon, Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department; Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox who's Wayne's armourer - providing him with all the latest equipments; Tom Hardy as Bane, the villain; Joseph Gordon-Levitt (that young kid most would've grown up watching from '3rd Rock From the Sun') as John Blake, an intelligent young police officer who grew up believing in Batman; and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate, a member of the Wayne Enterprises executive board who encourages a still-grieving Bruce Wayne to rejoin the society, and is also his brief love interest or comforter.
I was never a huge fan of the Batman before 'cause I'd always thought of him only as the masked man with all the cool gadgets and high-tech equipments, unlike all the other superheroes.
However, I've learnt something from this movie, and I'd like to quote Batman here, when asked why he never reveals his identity.
"A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a little boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended."
Very well said.
