Anne Hathaway underwent rigorous training in kick-boxing and mixed martial arts for her role. "I'd always thought I was pretty healthy and I always thought I had worked hard in the gym. It turns out that what I thought was hard, in Catwoman's world is actually light to moderate," the actress said.
According to the director, it's going to be a very out-of-the-world experience for the viewers as they will be seeing something completely unique that no one has ever done before.
Fan expectations of Christopher Nolan and The Dark Knight Rises are high. Mr Nolan has taken his place among the roster of cult directors, not just with his darkly re-imagined Batman but also with the dream-consciousness exploration in Inception.
Even before “The Dark Knight
Rises” opens to the general public, folks online are clashing over the reviews.

Christopher Nolan's third and the last film in
the Batman franchise, The Dark Knight Rises releases today. The film, among this
year's most anticipated, takes an eight year leap from where the 2008 film, The
Dark Knight ended. This
last installment deals with a Gotham City abandoned by Batman and terrorized by
the villain Bane.
Christopher Nolan, who directed the first two films to great acclaim, has used the conventional method to shoot the film rather than opting for the digital format. "By all accounts, The Dark Knight Rises is the definition of epic - shooting on location across three continents, with a daring aerial stunt sequence, a massive crowd scene involving explosions and over 10,000 extras, and a full complement of new gadgets and vehicles," he said in a recent interview. Christian Bale and Michael Caine who starred in the previous Batman movies, Batman Begins andThe Dark Knight, will be joined by Anne Hathaway in the role of Selina Kyle/Catwoman and Tom Hardy as the deadly Bane. Early reviews have heaped praise on Bale's final performance as the caped crusader.

The critical controversies center
around movie review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. Early this week, reviews
of Christopher Nolan’s final Batman film began coming in to Rotten Tomatoes.
Everything was fine for the first 30 or so reviews, all of which were positive
on the film. But then, a critic named Marshall Fine posted a negative review.
The reaction was – well – let’s just say it was not pretty.
Fine didn’t respond to a request
for comment from Speakeasy.
Fine didn’t trash the film, he
merely said he felt “The Dark Knight Rises” was the weakest of Nolan’s Batman
trilogy. But within minutes, hundreds of people had posted comments on Fine’s
review, many of which were personal attacks on Fine. “I knew it would probably
be controversial just because I was the first negative one, and the first
person to burst that 100% bubble always comes in for some negative response,
but it was like a tsunami,” Fine said. “What’s amazing to me — and sort of
amusing to me — is that all of these comments are coming from people who haven’t
seen the movie.”
The comments ranged from short,
simple cursing all the way up to death threats. One poster said he wanted Fine
to die in a fire. Another fantasized about beating Fine to death with a thick
rubber hose. For Rotten Tomatoes, that was enough. The website shut down the
commenting feature on all “Dark Knight Rises” reviews. Rotten Tomatoes
Editor-in-chief Matt Atchiity wrote, “There are plenty of other things to get
angry about, like war, famine, poverty and crime. But not movie reviews.”
But the controversy did not stop
there. Before the site had shut down all comments, film critic Eric Snider of
Film.com also posted a negative review… sort of. Snider hadn’t yet been to a
screening of “The Dark Knight Rises,” so, as a kind of joke, he posted a fake
review. His fake review was one sentence saying the newest film was the worst
Batman film ever made (including the poorly received Batman films of the late
1990s). But, if you bothered to read Snider’s entire review, he quickly made it
clear that he had not seen the film and was just kidding. He was trying to
prank the Rotten Tomatoes posters to see if they would actually bother to read
his review or just attack him for the one sentence blurb. He guessed most would
just attack. He was right.Along with all the rage-filled
comments, Snider also got a death threat, from someone who said they wanted to
stick a bomb –well – inside part of his body.
Rotten Tomatoes, already stinging from the negative comments, felt Snider had
gone too far with his fake review. They took the review down and have banned
Snider’s reviews from their site.
On his twitter feed, Snider said
he was not trying to prank Rotten Tomatoes, only the “awful commenters there.”
Snider didn’t respond to a request
for comment from Speakeasy.
Snider, by the way, did finally
get to see “The Dark Knight Rises” and, while he thinks it is the weakest of
Nolan’s Batman films, he still liked it enough to give it a solid “B.”
In the couple days since Fine and
Snider were attacked, a few more negative reviews of “The Dark Knight Rises”
have surfaced. The consensus now seems to be that the film is a very good one,
but not perfect and many say it is a bit too long (The Journal’s Joe Morgenstern gave the film a positive review). But the
question remains, why do some people want so desperately for a movie to be good
that they are willing to attack a few critics who say otherwise?
“These ‘crazy people’ have already
locked themselves into liking the film,” says Collider.com film reviewer Matt
Goldeberg. “They’ve been hit with so much marketing from the studios
that they feel like they have invested time, energy, and passion into the film
even before they have seen it. For someone to say, ‘it’s not good’ is not an
acceptable answer to them. As a critic, I want people to have a conversation
with me about films, a conversation that goes beyond ‘I agree’ or ‘I disagree.’
They don’t want to have that conversation.”
Once “The Dark Knight Rises” opens
in theaters, tonight at midnight, the critic bashing and analysis will
certainly quiet down. After all, once the public has weighed in on a film,
critics’ comments carry less and less weight. Hollywood fortunes are often made
on films that critics savaged. To real people, praise or pans from a friend
carry more weight than a dozen prominent critic reviews. Still, it would be
nice if the people who savage the critics would at least wait to see them film
first.
“The Dark Knight
Rises”- How Much Is Opening Day Worth?
How much would you pay to see the midnight show
of “The Dark Knight Rises” on July 20? Scalpers are betting quite a lot.
Asking prices for opening night tickets on Craigslist hit the $100-per-ticket
mark in New York. On eBay, a Los Angeles seller wants $125 apiece, and another
in Council Bluffs, Iowa is asking $140. And if you really want to be among the
first to see it, there’s an eBay listing for two tickets to a 7 p.m. showing on
July 19 in Los Angeles. The price: $300. SmartMoney.com’s Kelli Grant has
more.
The Dark Knight Rises is a 2012 superhero
film directed by Christopher
Nolan, who co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Jonathan
Nolan and the story
with David S.
Goyer. Based on the DC Comics character Batman, the
film is the third installment in Nolan's Batman film series, and is a
sequel to Batman Begins (2005)
and The Dark Knight (2008). The
Dark Knight Rises is
intended to be the conclusion of the series. Christian
Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan
Freeman reprise their
roles from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. The film takes place
eight years after the events of The Dark Knight and introduces the characters of Selina Kyle and Bane portrayed
by Anne Hathaway and Tom Hardy,
respectively.
Nolan was initially hesitant about
returning to the series for a second time, but agreed to come back after
developing a story with his brother Jonathan and David S. Goyer that he felt
would conclude the series on a satisfactory note. Filming took place in various
locations, including locations in Jodhpur, London, Nottingham, Glasgow, Los Angeles, New York, New Jersey,
and Pittsburgh.
Nolan utilized IMAX cameras for much of the filming to
optimize the quality of the picture. As with The Dark Knight, viral
marketing campaigns
began early during production to help promote the upcoming film. When filming
concluded, Warner Bros. refocused its campaign; developing
promotional websites, releasing the first six minutes of the film and
theatrical trailers, and sending random pieces of information regarding the
film's plot to various companies.
The
Dark Knight Rises premiered
on July 16, 2012, in New York City. The film was released in Australia and New
Zealand on July 19, 2012, with a
scheduled release in North America and the United Kingdom on July 20, 2012.
