In response to TIME's review of The Dark Knight Rises, I agree on many points the author brings up. For example, Corliss states that "the film’s allusions to the Patriot Act and the decadelong incarceration of terror suspects in Guantánamo are obvious". I also saw these allusions and I believe that they make the movie relevant to current social and global times which is a major reason why the film and its predecessors are held to such high esteem. In our group, we decided that visual media attempts to entertain the audience through many different ways such as humor, drama, and action. The Dark Knight Rises accomplishes this goal as agreed by Corliss who says it is "the best, most troubling, assured and enthralling"superhero movie. This source evaluates the movie based on the story and plot twists, acting, and its relevance to today's world. I agree that these criteria are essential to a good superhero movie because it keeps the audience entertained and involved in the movie even after the film is over. I especially believe that the characterization and the way to actors portray the character are important to the success of the movie. Bane, who Corliss describes as "an immense hulk with an air of courtly menace" serves as the embodiment of terrorism with his sadistic plot to destroy Gotham just because he can. The article comes to the conclusion that the character of Bane plays an integral part in the movie's greatness, which I agree with wholeheartedly. Bane provides a unique challenge to Batman's physicality and morality when he must abandon his city for a brief time and watch it suffer.
