On July 26, 2012, another film premiere by Christopher Nolan - “The Dark Knight. Revival of a Legend”. This is the third and last, according to the director, the story of Batman, filmed by him. Previous films “Batman. The Beginning "and" The Dark Knight "were a great success around the world and grossed more than one and a half billion dollars at the box office.
The third story about Batman is a logical continuation of the second, that is, "The Dark Knight". As the TV viewer, following the adventures of the noble movie hero, remembers, the second film ended with the death of District Attorney Harvey Dent, who became the villain Two-Face. And Batman, of course, took full responsibility for the crimes committed by Dent. He did this to protect the public's reputation as a minister of the law. And as a result, he had to go into exile.
And in the new, third film, after eight years, Batman is forced to return to prevent the new anti-hero Bane from destroying the city. In addition, Batman needs to find out the truth about the mysterious Selina Kyle ("Catwoman").
Christian Bale remained true to his word and played Batman in Nolan's third film. The villainous Bane in the new film was played by British actor Tom Hardy, known for his leading role in the film "Bronson" (UK, 2009) and for his participation in the first film of the Batman trilogy "Inception" (2010).
The image of Catwoman, or Selina Kyle, this time was brought to life by the American actress Anne Hathaway. In the film, she will be Bane's ally, and a couple of villains will have time to spoil a lot of blood for everyone until they are stopped by the superhero Batman.
Some of the actors who have already starred in Nolan's first two Batman films have continued to work in the third film. Among them: Nestor Carbonell (as Mayor of Gotham), Gary Oldman (as Commissioner James Gordon), Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine.
The film received numerous positive reviews from film critics. The average rating of the received points is 8 out of 10. One of the critics compared the film with "Fight" directed by Michael Mann, praised the performance of Tom Hardy, noted the ornate plot.
In America, in the city of Aurora, Colorado, the premiere of the film was overshadowed by the shooting in one of the cinemas, as a result of which 13 people were killed and 59 injured. The offender has been detained, an investigation is underway.
