Finally, after four years of waiting, we were able to enjoy the long-awaited end of the masked hero's incredible trilogy of the amazing Mr. Nolan.
I thought that would outsell its predecessor epic The Dark Knight, but it's obvious the series, it was not, but the movie itself is very good.
Sadly, the film is very scattered and disjointed, the weakest of the three in the section of the script, do not understand what your goal, which meant the goal of Bane is too absurd, too much work for you all to focus on revenge rather limited, meanwhile, the goal of Talia no sense, because it was destroyed to make Batman see his dream and that people show their true colors, but this dream was not destroyed after five months, only is about to destroy the city with the pump and that's it .
Plot was simple, the former was glorious in that aspect.
Batman recovered if it was Rocky and suddenly the cops are released from the sewers, join him as having been buried for a day, why not have the effect of staying five months underground without any hygiene without sick and ready for combat?, that there is as swallowing.
The scene of the well is very good but has a good error,
seem a paid vacation to a spiritual retreat to recover, then nothing happens, the inmates give advice, not cure, do not mess with him, are limited to support for leaving What the hell is going on in this movie?
Among many things can be seen in the film, the rating I give them doubtful result, but despite its flaws script, is highly recommended, the performances are very good, the direction of Mr. Nolan is still epic.
Not as I expected, really, but as you guessed, Mr. Nolan did not disappoint. The Dark Knight Rises shows the greatness of christhoper nolan to direct monumental works of film and proves once again, the true greatness of this character. My Score: 9.5

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. BEST BATMAN FILM EVER!!!! Not Christopher Nolan's best, that title belongs to Inception, but definitely Batman's best! It was the perfect end to Christopher Nolan's perfect trilogy. The most awesome thing in the world would be if they did another one with Joseph Gordon-Levitt continuing the legacy as Batman, as it was hinted at the end of the film. Expand

The final installment in the best superhero movie franchise of all time is equal to its predecessors. The additions of Tom Hardy as Bane and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman are great and Michael Caine continues tobe the standout performance.

Tom HardyThis not only an epic conclusion to Chris Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, it was an epic conclusion to a summer filled with excitment. Not only was the storyline and acting fantastic, two characters really stuck out. Bane and Catwoman. Tom Hardy really brings in the fear of Bane with his incredible acting and dark complection to a wonderful villan. Anne Hathaway showcase's a sexy cat who can kick some serious butt. She truly is one of the greatest actresses of 2012. Surprisingly, i thought it was better than "The Dark Knight", but that's just me. I think the story is more darker and engaging than Dark Knight, but the Joker (Heath Ledger) is still the greatest villan ever. Overall, it's a tremendous movie, GO SEE IT! Expand

It's the right way to end an epic trilogy. The antagonist was menacing and the movie came with a very well played out plot twist. The movie is just perfect, its without flaw, if there was one thing I could change about the movie, well........................there isn't anything I would change about this movie. And the acting! DUDE, THE ACTING!!!! Its just amazing, as always, Christian Bale kills it as Batman and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman! Need I say more? Go watch this movie, NOW!!! Expand

The story is on par, as well as a great cast new to the series (Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, etc.). The movie never lags, and Tom Hardy's Bane comes across as a testosterone-fueled hunk of a man who knows true pain and wants to do justice in his own twisted ways.

While some may say that the background story of Bane isn't what's in the comics, just stop. Did it fit the movie? Maybe it didn't, because I bet my ass director Christopher Nolan took that into consideration. I bet they did a screen test, and that storyline didn't work. To be honest, it's not that big of a detail and can be easily overlooked, and it didn't do any damage to the story. In fact, it made it *that* much more interesting.

This is still a masterwork, and is an excellent coda to the finest filmic trilogy ever made. As great as Christopher Nolan is as a director, and as fine a film as 'Interstellar' is, I really don't know if he'll ever be able to top his work here, on these three films. But I, for one, am certainly looking forward to finding out... Expand

Complete with action, plot twists, awesome fight scenes, the new and quotable and awesome Tom Hardy Bane, Catwoman played by Anne Hathaway giving an incredible and bad-ass performance, and the Dark Knight rising up above evil. You get to see not only one, but four Bane Tumblers, and The Bat. And at the end of the movie there will be a cliffhanger Easter egg that makes you forget about Batman, but want there to be a Robin spin-off movie. An absolute must see for all those fan boys who fell in love with the Dark Knight trilogy. Expand

While the last film's Joker represented all that was insane about the world, Rises' Bane is a show of pure force. The stakes are raised to the maximum here. Accompanying the masterful directed scenes is the equally beautiful score by Hans Zimmer. Fight choreography and direction is well implemented and the set pieces are epic and engaging. The budget was put to good use. The Dark Knight Rises is compelling from start to finish and sets the bar for future Batman flicks. Overall, this film represents all that is good about Nolan's trilogy as we get to see Bale's character develop beyond what we had seen in its predecessors. Both films and character incarnations alike. Expand

Christopher Nolan’s 2012 action film The Dark Knight Rises, a trilogy from The Dark Knight shows the now notorious criminal known as batman coming out of hiding in the city of Gotham. Nolan has taken a different approach from the original DcChristopher Nolan’s 2012 action film The Dark Knight Rises, a trilogy from The Dark Knight shows the now notorious criminal known as batman coming out of hiding in the city of Gotham. Nolan has taken a different approach from the original Dc Comic made by Bob Kane and Bill Finger and twisted it to make a different path for the villain/hero “batman”. Christian Bale will give you a burning sensation of excitement as he plays the role of batman and Bruce Wayne. The Dark Knight Rises begins with an older and crippled Bruce Wayne getting back on his feet to fight crime after being rejected by society by being called a villain. Christian Bale and Tom Hardy, the criminal Bane that makes himself know in Gotham City, have realistic tension on the screen that will have your blood boiling, eyes teary, and palms sweaty.

Nolan is a true visionary to depict such a great film. This movie is not your regular and dreary anticipated movie that everyone knows. It’s not that typical super hero story when the hero falls to the feet of the villain then triumphs and defeats the villain. Nolan took a different route and paved the road, he showed a super hero getting back on his feet while enduring the trial and tribulations to stand tall. Christian Bale plays an old charming and handsome Bruce that has shrouded from the limelight. Bruce has been missing for a while and no one had known his whereabouts. Christian Bales is a vital actor to this movie; because he brings the seriousness in Bruce you can see the worry in his eyes and the motivational sparkle. You can real feel a connection with Christian Bale on the screen as the movie progress.

In The Dark Knight Rises you can feel your soul crying out for Bruce as Alfred talks to him about his miserable life experiences. We all know Bruce has lost his parents but losing the one he loved Racheal in The Dark Knight was unbearable. Bruce still is saddened from this terrible event which shows his negative aspirations of caring about things. Batman’s and Bruce’s disappearance has left Gotham better than what it was. Gotham was in shambles, people loitering the streets and jobless. Batman and the “hero” Harvey Dent, played by Arron Eckheart in The Dark Knight cleaned the streets of villains. Gotham still pays respect to their most respected man Harvey Dent while others anticipate the return of batman.

Tom hardy is an absolute superb actor to play the villain Bane. Tom Hardy had me trembling in my chair and sweating through my clothes, he is exhilarating. Tom Hardy the perfect actor to play Bane because he is brawny in size and has that odd spine-chilling voice. Bane has an objective and he will execute anyone that crosses his path. Banes followers are loyal, and are increasing in numbers. Not even Gotham’s toughest cop Commissioner Gordon can stop Bane. He is a menace that cannot be apprehended, everyone he encounters is fearful of him. The character Bane gave me nightmares, he took the air out of my lungs he is ruthless.

But there is hope in Gotham because of a rising cop who is springing into action named Blake played by actor Joseph Gordon- Levitt who is a phenomenal actor. Blake is introduced as a new cop that quickly catches on to the criminal activity in Gotham. He warms your heart with passion because you can tell he is really devoted to what he does for a living. Joseph has a nice pretty boy smile that makes you feel safe, but he also can get pretty aggressive when trying to take down a criminal. Blake is a character that knows what to do when put in harmful situations; he doesn’t go by the cop rule book. Blake is one of the most trustworthy cops in Gotham which is rare.

The Dark Knight Rises has a lot of action scenes which were executed by the special affects department; it makes you feel as though you’re in Gotham and is being terrorized by Bane. The gunshots look realistic; due to the sound department it feels as though bullets zip through the movie theater. The makeup and costume department made the characters come to life which essentially makes Bane look so petrifying. When watching this movie on the big screen it feels as though you’re a civilian on the dirty streets of Gotham watching the action go down before your eyes. The people that took part behind the camera are as astonishing as the actors.

In conclusion this movie was one of the most eccentric films of the decade. Every moment of The Dark Knight Rises will have you in a trance; you will not be able to blink. The movie will not have you on the edge of your seat but standing up to watch the action up close. Make sure you go to the doctor after this movie because this will have your heart pumping so fast your body will be filled with adrenaline. There will not be a single soul that leaves the movie theater without thinking their money was well spent. The entire cast did an exceptional job of doing their part in the movie to make it outstanding. Make sure you pick your jaw off of the ground at the end when… you’re going to have to wait and see!

Despite some stretched-out plot holes and cliches the movie's story-line is tight and packed with visual eye candy, stuff that you gotta watch in IMAX. Most of the actors from "Inception" are brought down into the film and they boast solid performances. The tone of the movie isn't as dark as "The Dark Knight", but it still is mature and realistic (in a sense...). However what Christopher Nolan hit dead right was, in my opinion. the ending. I won't spoil anything but I can say that the ending is very refreshing and interesting; it's different from the usual linear endings brainless Hollywood blockbuster directors/producers think of. Long story short, WATCH IT. It's not quite the same level as of "The Dark Knight", but it has big scope visual eye-pleasers as well as a somewhat sensational and wise ending; a finishing touch for director Nolan's epic trilogy of the lonesome dark knight.

I still haven't seen The Dark Knight, which is considered to be one of the best superhero films of all time, but as far as things go, this film is easily one of the best I've seen.

Christopher Nolan has a knack for directing these sequences, the award-winning Hans Zimmer's amazing compositions really allowed me to immerse myself within this amazing film. Constant yet controlled periods of high adrenaline tension within the music combined with the cinematography kept me at the edge of my seat.

Okay, so some choreography was off but despite this I enjoyed watching every minute of this film and you don't need to read the comics to get a decent understanding of this film. That's an incredibly difficult task for directors, as they need please people who don't know the story that well as please the dedicated fans that know everything about the background of the characters. A balance to please both sets of fans to the best of his ability. For me, the cast was perfect and this film is pretty much nearly perfect. Might as well give it 10 out of 10 for the benefit of doubt!

Thanks to the use of practical effects, the crashing plane for example is astounding to watch on screen. But its also the writing, the casting, the performances, and the music that sets the bar so high.

Dynamic closing of a trilogy. The encounter against Bane is the most closer of Knightfall saga, with a dark knight is his lowest, most desperate moment; with fast-paced 30 final minutes with a majestic conclusion. A must to see for fan-boys.

I feel The Dark Knight Rises is a pretty underrated superhero film. While I don't think it's AS great as The Dark Knight, that doesn't mean I don't think it's in the same conversation.

I personally didn't mind Bane's voice. Did it sound not-so intimidating at times? Sure, but I believe that was the intention. Using that tone of voice when he's in the football stadium after he's just blown up the field is pretty unsettling. Catwoman in my opinion, is done so much better in this movie than in Batman Returns. In Batman Returns, Catwoman was just a romantic foil for Batman, and not much else. In The Dark Knight Rises, Catwoman is a romantic foil as well, but she's also extremely intelligent, can hold her own in a fight, and is very deceitful.

This also gave a different look at Batman in terms of how mortal he really is. His arrogance and anger push him to fight crime and all the while ignoring his health and his own fears. For me, The Dark Knight Rises is the absolute perfect conclusion that this trilogy can possible have.

'A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.'
What a beautiful film.

The Dark Knight Rises is without question my favourite out of the Nolan trilogy and a superb, emotionally resonant piece of cinema.
The best part about these films has always been Christian Bale's Batman; having a significant portion of this film being devoted to a character study of him is everything I wanted from this final chapter. Because of the absence of the physical Batman suit we get an actual psychological insight into what it would actually feel like being Batman and more importantly being Bruce Wayne, a broken, worn and tired Bruce Wayne. Michael Cane's Alfred has a more prominent part this time which is so important to the narrative and overall as wholesome as ever to watch on-screen and Anne Hathaway is just perfect as Catwoman but once again and more importantly as Selina.

Bane. Bane is the daddy. What a horrific and disgusting villain portrayed flawlessly by Tom Hardy. Not only is he my favourite Batman villain time but one of the best villains of all time because he actually feels like a true psychopath!
Joseph-Gordon Levitt as... Blake is also a very welcome addition and does wonders for the plot of Gotham under dictatorship during the winter and ultimately is responsible from keeping the gargantuan 165 minute runtime from feeling bloated. Props to you Joseph, you truly were the man at the helm of the TDKR plot ship keeping things moving.

The reason I love The Dark Knight Rises so much is because its heart and soul is with the character arcs and emotions; whilst Batman Begins was a marvellous world-builder and The Dark Knight was an epic action-crime spectacle, TDKR is a true Batman film in the sense the main focus is showing us the struggle and the heart of Bruce Wayne but more importantly showing us that everyone has it in them to be the best of themselves

I get there's a few things you can poke holes in but the story is so enthralling that it honestly isn't even in mind while I'm watching the film. One of the biggest criticisms I've heard of this movie is that Batman wouldn't just retire for 8 years as if that's a viable reason to not like this movie. The entire point of this trilogy is to show you the kind of toll it would take on a real human being had said person had the resources to become Batman or any hero for that matter. Where other superhero stories make you want to live in the heroes shoes, this trilogy makes you want to stay as far away from that life as possible. Let's get this out of the way quickly, Bane just like Ras Al Ghul in Batman Begins get overlooked as great cinematic villains because of the greatest of Heath Ledger. But he is without question one of the 2010s best if not most iconic antagonist. His hand to hand combat scenes are something to behold as are the action set pieces of the film. The third act alone might be my favorite of any movie this decade.

I still remember bawling my eyes out during Alfred's scene at Bruce's grave. I was not a fan of Anne Hathaway for whatever reason growing up but looking back she really was a good Catwoman despite the fact that she tries a little too hard at times. Marion Cotillard on the other hand blew me away. I hope she works with Nolan again because they seem to get the best out of each other. I'm sure I'll revisit this much sooner next time around but my thoughts on this trilogy remain the same. It's the best we've ever gotten and I doubt it'll ever be topped. 10/10

It’s not to say this is flawless because there are a couple of nitpicks I personally have but this is a fantastic way to wrap up the entire trilogy. It has one of the best villains to be ever put on film and I mean it. Bane’s voice, his demeanor, and Tom Hardy’s performance are intimidating but he is also similar to Batman because he is doing it for someone he loves. People are mad about the twist, calling him a henchman. He is no henchman, he is an ally. We even see that after Talia left, he attempted to kill Batman which is smart as hell because he didn’t want things to go sideways, but they did. The way he dies acts karma because Bane killed people like pawns and it went full circle because Selina Kyle made a joke which treated him like it was nothing. Also, if he died slower, it would just waste time. And Bruce’s journey is one of the best things because people point out that it's repetitive, and it's not. The first time, he puts the cape and cowl on, he becomes a suicide bomber, he is certain he will die and he can’t stop Bane from burning Gotham to ashes, he is doing it for selfish desires because he believes there is nothing there for him, and when he climbs out of the pit, he returns to the symbol he was. Also, Bruce climbing out of the prison is fantastic and him getting into the city isn’t a plothole because he used the 23 days he had and you know BB told us that he knew to steal, and someone forgot about being invisible. Also, the neighboring city isn’t on lockdown, so he can get in there just to go to the city. Seriously, it’s so bloody apparent. Also, this is the most thematic of the entire trilogy, with the theme of love, redemption, corruption, and vengeance Expand

Watching this film for the first time in theaters, with no knowledge of filmmaking, not even a movie fan at that time, just a normal audience going in the theatres for a ride, I remember coming out completely satisfied and floored. This film still crowns the most pristine look for an action film. The cinematography, the snow falling in the city of Gotham, everything about the visuals of this film is just screaming awesomeness, and for the longest time I hold this film as the pinnacle of the best looking action film and I still do.

In many ways, the minor flaws in here is so insignificant compare to the memorable bits of the film. This rendition of cat woman is by far the best one ever. Anne Hathaway achieves the perfect balance of sexiness and the feminine wit in this character, the visual design is also perfect. Bane is such an underrated villain, Tom Hardy adds so much on the character’s simple motivation, the menace through his voice and his physicality rivals Batman and his energy brought so much to the tension we felt in the film. The opening and ending scene is one of the best in movie cinema.

One of my favourite aspects of this film is how Nolan coins the genre of the superhero saga into a prison break movie. The design of the pit is visually so mesmerizing, every time the camera points up to the light and we see the cave of the prison, the picture just becomes this visceral canvas of beauty in horror. The moment when Bruce Wayne confronts his true fear by foregoing the only security from the rope, it’s honestly so badass that it trumps every other character moment in any Marvel movies and DC movies for that matter.

After so many years, there’s still not one DCEU movie that achieves this style of epic grounded action thriller where Nolan single-handedly master in Hollywood. It’s only until 2016 where Denis Villeneuve finally managed to make something that comes close to that level of authentic grandness.

The Dark Knight Rises also has the best score in the trilogy in my opinion, the best score for any hero movies, the perfect balance of grandness, epicness, the unsung melancholy and the haunting beauty of romantic sacrifice.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Dark Knight Rises is a perfect ending to Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy. Just like the other 2 films in this trilogy, this movie is perfect. It's a long movie, but there isn't a single dull moment, every minute is exciting. I love the story, the cinematography and the performances are great as well. I also love the characters in this movie, Bane is an awesome villain, Batman/ Bruce Wayne is great as always, Miss Tate creates a nice plot twist and Selina Kyle/ catwoman is also a great character. I love everything about this movie. I love The Dark Knight Trilogy Expand

Every part of this movie is near perfection. I absolutely love Tom Hardy's Bane, and Anne Hathaway's Catwoman is the definitive version to me. The fights in this film are unbelievable, the plot and character writing are amazing, the cinematography and music are wonderful, and the ending is one of the very best. Every character is done justice in this movie. The Dark Knight movies are very villain driven, which I love. Just as the Dark Knight is very much the Joker’s movie, the Dark Knight Rises is clearly Bane’s. As such, they feel different. Either could certainly be your favorite depending on your taste. Banes raw bad-assery emanates throughout the film, contrasting Batman's suffering and pain. Oh, to watch this movie again for the first time... To everyone involved in making it, thank you Expand

The entirety of the last 20 minutes of this film I was in tears, both laughing and crying, and I amazed that even after all this time that this movie still has such power over me. I am of the firm belief that Bruce Wayne dies at the end, but the point is that Batman doesn't die - and the true Dark Knight that rises is Robin in the very last shot of the film. This is the perfect final instalment of the most perfect film trilogy of all time. Bane is the perfect villain, menacing and memorable in a totally different way to both Ra's al Ghul and the Joker, and Selina Kyle, Talia al Ghul, and Robin are the perfect additions to this mythology. This is Batman at his most grand and epic and Nolan executes it brilliantly. It has all the excitement and action and emotion it needs to write itself into the history books as one of the greatest movies of all time, and a film truly worthy of its place in the filmography of cinema's greatest director: Christopher Nolan Expand

From the incredibly choreographed fight scenes to the nuanced subtle moments that should have won an Oscar. From moment one, right at the very beginning of Batman Begins; Nolan has told a story that is very relatable. He made Batman a story that was believable. A story that if you saw it in the newspaper, you’d almost believe it. This film delivers the best comic book adaption I’ve ever seen. The ability to draw from the source material, and make it your own whilst simultaneously staying true to the material is a token to how good a story teller this director is. Not only did the team behind these movies deliver jaw dropping moments, one after the other, but they also helped to build the foundations of the superhero world we know and love today. If I could give this film a 11 star rating I would. It lives up to be one of the best films I’ve ever seen. Expand

His movies change with his perspectiveI already knew that I loved The Dark Knight Rises, but I almost forgot how much I actually love it. The best thing about this trilogy is that Christopher Nolan does something different with each entry. His movies change with his perspective of film. With that said, the experience you get with The Dark Knight is much different than that of Batman Begins. The same goes between the two sequels, but they play off of each other incredibly well and each makes the last one even better. Honestly, The Dark Knight Rises might be my favorite of the trilogy. TDK is a technical masterpiece, but Rises is enjoyable in every which way. When I think about my favorite movie scenes of all time, a few are packed inside of this one. From the introduction of Bane, to the football stadium. From Batman’s first encounter of the masked terrorist, to everything that happens in The Pit... I will never not love this movie. The make it or break it factor for audiences has always been the last section of the movie. In my opinion, that ending is awesome! Above all else, this film is a great culmination of Nolan’s story and an amazing way to wrap up one of the best superhero trilogies of all time.

This is the best version of Bruce Wayne. The way his character is built off of his relationship with other characters is fantastic storytelling, and this movie delivers that more than anything else. “Vulnerability” is always important to recognize, and The Dark Knight Rises showcases a more broken Batman, taking up a fight that he knows he can’t win. With that, this movie is a journey that will never get old. But on that journey, one element shines almost perfectly: characters. Christopher Nolan uses this final entry to dive deep into the heads of his characters. Rather it be the relationships between them, or how they view the world, this movie gives us a deeper and often times darker perspective at this version of Gotham. Every second is worth it, from beginning to when it all comes back around at the end. Of course, Christian Bale is once again phenomenal and proves to be the best Batman thats ever graced the screen. In the opposing corner is Bane. While he doesn’t get the villain treatment the entire movie, he is a terrifying threat and an extremely effective character study. If there’s one thing Nolan can do better than most, thats villains. Having Tom Hard fill the shoes was a great choice, as he does something with the character that nobody else could. Catwoman, Alfred, Lucius, John, and Gordon are all amazing as well, but I can’t type forever. One last note before I close it out: the action is at a whole new level in this one. The intense action sequences and the phenomenal fight choreography make for a ride like no other. Throw in Batman’s epic one liners and the movie is even greater. The Dark Knight Rises is and forever will be one of my all time favorites. Every second of this film is something special.

Wow. I adore this film. It's a film with much gravity--it's a heavy conclusion. A worthy successor to 'TDK'. Bane is a monster in many ways. He's the antithesis to Batman; a near perfect villain, very Darth Vadar-esque.

Christopher Nolan doesn't play games when it comes to making movies. Everything he touches turns to greatness. The cinematography is flawless here, the production design is wicked, and the script is solid. Though this production went through many changes after the death of Heath, it's still a very good movie.

Wally Pfister kills the look of this story, much like he did the prequels. However, this film has a more unique look. You can tell it's the third act of an epic story. Gotham is more gritty than ever--the 'Tale of 2 Cities' vibe is spot-on.

Thematically, 'TDKR' is beautiful, and has tremendous gravitas. Nolan's usage of practical effects and fight sequences is genius. You can see his improvement from all technical standpoints. Though not better than 'TDK', this conclusion is more than fitting and is nearly equal to the previous take.

Christian Bale seems worn out here as an actor, but that fits well with the story. After so much time being a crime-fighter, and taking years off from being 'The Batman', Bruce Wayne is injured, stressed, and exhausted; a recluse is what Bruce has become. He doesn't even show his face, which pays homage to Howard Hughes in various ways.

The realistic naturalism is still there. The Bat-Pod is a charm, as is the 'Bat-Wing'. Catwoman is done wonderfully in this take--Anne Hathaway is quite a woman, and she fills the shoes of Michelle Pfeiffer well; doing a performance that pays respect yet is its own thing.

Batman does his thing as always--he's stealthy, smart, and has tons of gadgetry. Yet, when he meets Bane all that changes. Bane is the exact equal to Bruce Wayne, but he's somewhat superior, especially when it comes to strength. Both Batman and Bane are students of 'The League of Shadows', both were mentored by Ra's Al Ghul.

This film contains one of the best fight sequences I've ever seen. It's hand-to-hand combat--the sequence is chilling as we see Bane's intimidating fighting style that shakes even Mr. Wayne.

Batman fights someone who is physically above him in every way. Bane "breaks" The Batman with ease.

"Why do we fall?"

'TDKR' is a blockbuster hit, and a successful ending to the trilogy. I saw it in IMAX and I was utterly excited all throughout the proceedings. I'm sure you've seen this, and if you haven't, shame on you. You must see the end of Nolan's Batman. It's an absolute must-see, all three films

Now this is how you close off an epic trilogy successfully!
The Dark Knight Rises is the third and concluding chapter to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, and is what I consider to be, a grand fitting end to the Christian Bale Batman/Bruce Wayne story arc. Released in 2012 to tremendous box office and critical reception, The Dark Knight Rises managed to become the highest grossing Batman film of all time, surpassing the hefty financial gain of The Dark Knight (2008), and still bares that title to this day. The Dark Knight Rises also has a few criticisms drawn from fans and critics alike, despite its mainly universal appraisal. Luckily for me, I'm not one of these hateful naysayers that hold any vice against this film.
Drawing inspiration from various Batman comics storylines, such as "Knightfall," "No Man's Land," and "The Dark Knight Returns," The Dark Knight Rises manages to convey an engaging and effectively entertaining plot that's jampacked with numerous allusions, homages, colossal themes, and most importantly, a gratifying and emotionally powerful conclusion. Christopher Nolan really outdid himself with this production. Not only do we get a phenomenal plot, but we get phenomenal choreographed action sequences and intense visuals. The special effects alone are a treat to the eyes!!
Christian Bale is remarkable in his final performance as Bruce Wayne, bringing us a battle-hardened, broken hero who must rise past his broken spirit (and broken physical limitations thanks to Bane and previous fights) in order to save Gotham City from total nuclear destruction. Familiar faces aiding him such as characters portrayed by Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman bring their A-game in their final roles also. Newcomer Joseph Gordon Levitt does great as cop John Blake. And Marion Cotillard delivers an alluring, mystifying dual-identity role as Miranda Tate/Talia Al Ghul.
But it's fellow newcomers Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway that really stand out. The Bane we get in this movie is a lot different than the remedial one we get in Batman And Robin (1997); this new one portrayed greatly by Tom Hardy feels almost ripped straight from the comic books: an intelligent mountain of a man, who poses as both a physical and intellectual threat to Batman. Behind Heath Ledgers groundbreaking performance of The Joker, he's my favorite Batman villain in Nolan's trilogy.
Anne Hathaway portrays Selina Kyle/Catwoman, a professional cat burglar, grifter, and femme fatale who develops a relationship with Bruce Wayne/Batman. She manages to evoke the sense of who Catwoman really is, and does such a great performance, she rivals Michelle Pfeifer's take on the character in Tim Burton's Batman Returns (1992). Lest we forget the intricate and meticulously well-shot 70mm IMAX cinematography? Or Han Zimmer's delightfully haunting musical score? Or every sliver of a detail perfectly synchronised to make connection and reference to the entire trilogy as a whole? No, lest us not forget

I remember seeing this in the theaters for my birthday. I loved it so much back then. The affect stuck with me 5 years later.

This movie has some of the best directing, the best cinnamontography, and the best sound I have ever heard in a movie. Why this got **** over at the Oscars I will never understand.

Tom Hardy's Bane I think is one of the best villains of the decade. He played such an excellent character. Other standouts include Bale's Batman, Hathaway's Catwoman, and Caine's Alfred.

The score, which I am currently listening to, is also extremely exceptional.

This movie also looks amazing. From the camerawork to the visual effects and the costumes to the production design.

This is the longest DC film released to theaters. (But it ain't got **** on the 3 and a half hour Watchmen Ultimate Cut.) At 165 minutes, Nolan crafts a well executed and, as usual, fast paced story.

And the theme of the trilogy I noticed twice. Once figuratively when Batman comes back after 8 years and literally when Bruce is in the pit.

This is my favorite Nolan movie. My favorite Batman movie. **** it, even my favorite DC movie.

Grade: A+

Granted they had an army of cops but the story of Foley was very powerful. Also Michael Caine deserves an award for Alfred in this movie.

The Dark Knight is a great movie with Ledger's performance being iconic but personally The Dark Knight Rises is all around a better movie. It is very well shot (as most of Nolan's movies are) and it's a really great storyline personally. A great cast to surround Bale with actors like Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon Levitt along with the usuals who were around from the last 2 films. The movie is full of iconic moments from me and a great way to end the trilogy one of the best payoffs that the character could get.

Loved every moment with him on screen, . Anne Hathaway's Selina Kyle is amazing, as is Cotillard's Talia al Ghul ( LOVE that twist). Joseph Gordon-Levitt also excels as police officer John Blake who we later find out is 'Robin' which is another aspect I absolutely adore. This film was made with nothing but heart, as proven by the last 15 minutes and I can't thank Christopher Nolan enough for it. Incredibly touching and beautiful send off to Bale's Batman and this magnificent Trilogy. Expand

Why is it that every single time I watch this, I feel like it is my first time watching this? The twists and turns, action, grand scale, powerful score by Hans Zimmer, amazing characters and fantastic tension building, makes The Dark KnightWhy is it that every single time I watch this, I feel like it is my first time watching this? The twists and turns, action, grand scale, powerful score by Hans Zimmer, amazing characters and fantastic tension building, makes The Dark Knight Rises one of the best movies of the twenty-first century.

After the events of The Dark Knight, I feel that this movie builds on what everything that Harvey Dent fought for before Joker messed with him and Bane (who is played perfectly by Tom Hardy) just destroys everything and that entire gut-punch just hits me so hard every time I witness it. Bane as a character too is also great. Through my eyes he truly is more of a threat than Joker was in The Dark Knight. Even though Heath Ledger gives a better performance than Tom Hardy did, I feel that Bane tore Gotham down more than Joker did.

All the new characters such as: Selina Kyle, Miranda Tate and Blake are fantastic and they are all characters I root for and knowing Tate works for Bane, I still buy into her being friends with Bruce. This being the conclusion to The Dark Knight Trilogy, I feel this is the perfect way to end Bruce's arc as Batman. In Batman Begins, he is a person who is lost and needs guidance. In The Dark Knight, he is shown as a person who is conflicted on whether he should turn himself in to protect the citizens of Gotham and in The Dark Knight Rises he must come back and save everyone in Gotham from Bane's reign of terror. The way Nolan shows the progression of Bruce's character is truly amazing for me and out of all the superhero trilogies out there, The Dark Knight Trilogy is the only one that blows my mind every single time I watch it. The emotion, the stakes, the score and everything else makes this my favourite trilogy to date.

Overall, The Dark Knight Rises is truly a statement on how to make a conclusion correctly and this is the definition of a perfect film.

Suddenly, after Gotham City was made into a better place, a evil and brutal terrorist named Bane plans to create and destroy Gotham.

Christopher Nolan’s final Batman film really went out with a bang! His directing went into a whole another level and blew everyone’s expectations to dust. Just like his other films, this amazing trilogy have a genuine emotional heartbeat! Even some of the best Batman graphic novels were inspired by the trilogy, Nolan made them in his own vision. His vision with production and costume designs, CGI, and breathtaking scenery is absolutely visionary! He is why he’s one of my favorite filmmakers. God, I wish I’ve gone to see the last 2 Batman flicks in theaters.

The entire cast was outstanding! Including new ones, like Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Hardy’s Bane was phenomenal. I mean, he was a force to be reckoned with! While the Joker (played by the late great Heath Ledger) was a criminal mastermind for bringing chaos into Gotham, Bane was wanting to put Gotham in the hands of criminals, and let them destroy and burn the city to the ground, and put every single citizen in fear. Hathaway’s Selina Kyle/Catwoman was outstanding too! It’s crazy how we’ve all seen her in The Princess Diaries, and she takes an amazing turn in her career to become one of the best actresses in the world to work with, work with great filmmakers, win an Oscar for Les Misérables, and play in a Batman flick as a Batman nemesis. And Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Officer John Blake is awesome! He proved to be a really good actor! He really sunk his teeth into playing this original character, who was a firm believer in Batman, and would later be revealed as Robin!

The scenes in it are really indescribable to say how fantastic they are! The scene where Alfred tells Bruce that he will leave because he couldn’t go on seeing Bruce be Batman and get himself hurt again or get himself killed, after previous events from the second film, Blake trying to convince Bruce that Gotham still needs a hero, the scene where we also get to see Bane and Selina Kyle for the first time, Catwoman screws Batman over and loses his fight to Bane, the football field being blown up along with half of Gotham, the cops and bad guys fight on the street, along with Batman and Bane, and the ending! The ending where Alfred sees his dream come true with Bruce and Selina are together in Florence, and Blake now becoming Robin and having the Batcave to himself. I could go on saying how epically tear jerking ending was all day!

The Dark Knight Rises is a gorgeous reminder that great writing and directing can enhance any movie going experience. Even superhero films, which are thought as mindless entertainment. Though I love Tim Burton’s Batman, I am still satisfied with Christopher Nolan’s amazing trilogy! This is another trilogy that is my all time favorite, like the original Toy Story trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, and Jason Bourne. 2012 has been good to us, by bringing great films. We had The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, Ted, Django Unchained, and Skyfall. As of right now, my favorite film from that year is Django Unchained, my all time favorite Nolan film is Inception, and my all time favorite Batman film still is The Dark Knight. But I am very happy to say, this was the best epic ending to TDK, thanks to Christopher Nolan and his creative vision! I will continue my Batman marathon. Today, I will watch Batman v Superman, and Batman Forever for the first time. All leading up to when Joker comes to theaters next Friday. And soon, like I mentioned, I’ll do a list from best to mediocre Batman films.

I’m giving The Dark Knight Rises 5 stars!

"You don't owe these people anymore. You gave them everything."
"Not everything. Not yet."
The Dark Knight Rises is a triumph in cinema. There's never been a finale that is this huge both in scale and on personal level.
There's so much greatness in this finale that unfortunately some people disregard for stupid and nitpick reasons.
The story, the performances, the score, the themes, the action, the finale, everything just makes TDKR as well as the rest of the trilogy as one of cinema's greatest treasures.
" A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat on a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended."
The Dark Knight Rises is Cinematic Perfection.

Every aspect of this movie is perfect including the acting, the story, the production and direction. Let's start with Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne once again; he delivers an outstanding performance as a man who was broken and crippled from the previous movie. He's now a recluse and has to learn to become batman again in order to stop the new threat to Gotham city and Christian Bale nails everything about this character. In the second act Bruce Wayne is locked in a prison and he is a completely broken man, he has to train himself up again to escape and then he ready to fight Bane. It makes it a very compelling and interesting story just from this perspective. However the real star of this movie is Tom Hardy as Bane. He gives an incredibly gripping and threatening performance that even rivals Heath Ledger's Joker. He's not just smart, he's incredibly powerful physically, and this is shown in his first fight with Batman, where he completely destroys him and then takes over Gotham city. Everything about Tom Hardy's performance is excellent and he'll go down as one of my favourite villains ever. The movie does a fantastic job of keeping you constantly on edge, Bane's master plan is so gripping and complex that the movie is completely unpredictable and it makes for a more interesting watch than most movies, all thanks to the direction of Christopher Nolan and the writers for coming up with an amazing conclusion to what is easily the best trilogy of all time Expand

The conclusion to a 3-film series that was 7 years in the making. The Dark Knight Rises marks the end of one of cinema's most audacious and idolized trilogies of the 21st century. To say it goes out with a bang would be an understatement. This is Christopher Nolan's culmination to his "one for them" type of mentality. Nolan is one of the few people where his "one for me" and "one for them" films equally have their own distinct vision and uniqueness. With each and every Batman film ramping up the stakes, The Dark Knight Rises proves there's still enough gas in the tank to send this franchise off in style.

Everything I've said in my Batman Begins and The Dark Knight reviews still stands true. Christian Bale is the best onscreen Batman as of now and the supporting cast around him are powerhouse performers. Carrying over from the previous films are Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and a heartbreaking Michael Caine. Alfred legitimately gets a few tearjerkers in as he comments about the deterioration Batman has caused Bruce Wayne. The atmosphere Nolan gives to Gotham City remains as gritty as ever if not more, taking inspiration from two Batman stories in the comics, No Man’s Land and Knightfall. Tone is critical when evolving and developing a franchise, and if you don't maintain that consistency across the board, you're doomed.

The newbies to the cast are amazing. Tom Hardy as Bane is so intimidating. Yes, I understand why people make fun of his voice (guilty as charged sometimes), but if you saw the early IMAX prologue then you know Bane's voice could have been a whole lot worse. If you had a breathing mask on your face I don't think you'd sound like you normally would. Bane feels like a natural progression to have as the villain. If Ra's al Ghul was the philosopher and the Joker was the anarchist, then Bane is a combination of those two, combined with some sheer brute force. Tom Hardy is **** huge. He got seriously jacked for this role. You feel his presence constantly and get behind why people fear him.

Other new additions include Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman. I like rooting for Hathaway and she is quite the badass in this role. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is John Blake, a dedicated member of the Gotham City Police Department. JGL is always up to the task no matter how big or small his role is. The gorgeous Marion Cotillard is Miranda Tate, an acquaintance of Bruce trying to restore Wayne Enterprises to its former glory. Just from Cotillard's eyes I can tell her emotions, the sign of a good actress. Like The Dark Knight, we get a slew of great character actors making up the periphery characters, starting with an especially slimy Ben Mendelsohn, Tom Conti, Matthew Modine, Josh Pence, Daniel Sunjata, Juno Temple, Alon Abutbul, Aidan Gillen and Brett Cullen just to name a few.

Someway, somehow, Nolan manages to top and occasionally rival the action scenes from the previous two Batman films. The cold open plane hijacking is a serious contender for some of the best stunt work I've seen. The attack on the Gotham Stock Exchange is especially frightening and the ensuing chase is exhilarating. I love that Batman and Bane's first fight is devoid of music entirely (bless the Hans Zimmer score though) and filled only with the physical sounds of punches being thrown. When Bane detonates the underground bombs and collapses the bridges throughout Gotham, the resulting blasts are a sight to behold thanks to Wally Pfister's endlessly breathtaking shots. The final fight as Gotham wages an all out war against itself is spectacular too.

A prevalent theme in The Dark Knight Rises is the emphasis on class. Bruce and Selina have opposing views when it comes to this. Bruce is against class warfare, but Selina sees it as her right to punish the wealthy for taking too much and giving too little. This is further expanded upon as Bane takes it upon himself to literally drag the rich out of their homes when he takes over midway through the film. Bane's revolution is very reminiscent of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Batman's absence has created even more of a rift between the rich and the poor than there already was. Batman's status as a uniting force is put further on display as well, giving Bruce moments to reflect on his legacy as the caped crusader.

If I'm underselling it, perhaps that's because it is hard to describe in words how freaking fantastic this movie is. There are days I don't know where to place it among the other two films. Not once does Nolan ever feel like patronizing to the audience. He treats them as fellow intellectuals, writing a story with his brother that showcases the extreme weight and magnitude it takes to be the savior that the city of Gotham deserves. It pulls no punches, isn't afraid to get dirty and most importantly of all, treats its characters with the utmost respect.

From start to finish it’s like the theme is rising. It’s in the background but right at the end that’s when it cranks up to 11 and it’s the full song. The editing in this is the best of the trilogy. The sound design and mixing is great. The casting of Bane and Catwoman is amazing. I love that other batman movies will be made but this will never be beat. The casting that’s been announced for Matt reeves’ The Batman sounds great but this is my favourite. Expand

The Dark Knight Rises is every bit as good as The Dark Knight. It's a powerfully acted ensemble piece. The set pieces are dynamic, exciting, and masterfully shot and edited. Bane is a beast of a character, brilliant and brutal.

The motifs of the first two films were fear and sanity. The motif of this one is fulfillment. Bane, Talia al Ghul, Alfred, Batman, and Catwoman are all trying to complete what they started and fulfill their missions so that they can finally rest. Bane and Talia want to finish what the League of Shadows started and destroy Gotham. Alfred wants to take care of Bruce Wayne as he promised. Batman wants to make Gotham safe so that he can finally quit being Batman, even if it kills him. Catwoman wants a clean slate, which she gets by running off with Batman. This entire film is about unfinished business.

My favorite storyline in the film is the inner transformation Bruce Wayne has to make to move on from Rachel. She's killed off brutally by the Joker, and Bruce believed in his soul she was waiting for him to quit being Batman when in fact she chose Dent over him. He refuses to quit being Batman. Ironically, as soon as she dies, he stops being Batman and mourns for her for 8 years, never moving on, no matter how many people try to encourage him to get back out there.

Then along comes Seline Kyle. They fall in love over the course of the film, as antagonists, but when Batman finally is able to save Gotham and destroy the League of Shadows, he is therefore finally able to move on from Batman and into a relationship with an equal and rest.

Batman truly wins. He changed Gotham, became the symbol of hope, and now that Gotham no longer needs him, he can move on, and the person he moves on with is someone who accepts him who he really is, as Batman, not someone who wants him to be someone else.

My favourite Batman film of all time. This is the conclusion the trilogy deserved. No lies detected at all. Everything about this masterpiece is phenomenal and Nolan did his best to make the hard work pay off with this one.

The themes of Rising is truly empowering and inspiring to the point where it associates with myself, the audience, and Bruce himself. For years, he's been stuck with the pain he hasn't been able to outrun. The only solution is to move on. But how? How can Bruce take a leap of faith and finally get the life he deserves? To be free of the pain he's been stuck with ever since Joker caused chaos in Gotham? Or ever since he fell down that well as a kid? This is explored in an impactful way and Bale had the chops to showcase it with a great performance.

Spanning across the trilogy, he's the ONLY actor (so far) to portray Bruce in a complexed way. The multiple layers Bale adds to the character (the Billionaire, the vigilante and the REAL Bruce Wayne) is straight up perfect. The Pit scene is perfect. It is a direct reference to the Lazarus Pit in the comics (where the dead can be resurrected). But as these films are intended, a much more realistic approach is implemented, substituting the comic logic for a psychological and grounded one.

When the man leaves the Pit, Batman is left behind in it, Bruce Wayne was the one who escaped. All these years, he was able to overcome his greatest fears permanently to RISE up stronger than ever. This allowed for an opportunity to live the life Alfred had always hoped for him and to establish the Batman as a symbol for all and not just for one man. I could talk hours and hours defending and gushing over how this film gets everything right about the Batman character/mythos and the journey Bruce has in this one. The Dark Knight Rises is my favourite Batman film of all time and I cannot express how much of a fan I've always been of this film as well as Christian Bale's portrayal as Batman
