The story is immaculately constructed to have no scene be unnecessary. The action is intense and well choreographed. The first fight between Bane and Batman sets bane up as batman greatest foe to date. Not only is Bane stronger and faster but we see he is smarter as well. He brushes off Batman’s tricks and gadgets leaving the fight up to a battle of skill. The movies criticism of anarcho-communism is accurate to the real world instances we have observed. Show trials are performed to go after the upper class of Gotham simulate to the trials scene in the newly formed Soviet Union. People celebrate at first as the believe they have been liberated till they realize their chains where not broken rather transferred from the wealthy to Bane and his thugs. The movie packs intense emotion as well with Alfred leaving Bruce in hopes heal stop him from going back to being Batman to Selina begging him to leave instead of sacrificing himself to a city that didn’t want him. The Dark Knight Rises stood on the shoulders of giants with it being a sequel to the Dark Knight yet it not only proved itself but showed it can go toe to toe with the dark knight any day. 10/10… Expand

The last decade has been kind to it; it's ambitions, structure, narrative cohesion, Nolan's heavier use of IMAX. Yes, the script may reuse a lot of elements of THE DARK KNIGHT, but here they're refined more, narratively and thematically. I like how this satisfyingly ties itself back to BEGINS in a meaningful way and isn't simply lip service. The action here is also much clearer and more focused in framing and cutting—lots of great practical stunts and tense fights (I also never clocked how high the body count is in this). Bale gives a series best performance, though it's Hardy's Bane that's so chilling and devilishly entertaining with his Muppet Bond villain voice—scary and exciting villains are hard to come by in these kinds of films, and this certainly delivers. Of the three, this one is the longest and the best paced; Nolan makes good on the epic scale and run time to pack a lot in—it never feels rushed or unnecessary. This viewing had me thinking of NO TIME TO DIE and how that aims for similar feels, but can't stick the landing the way this does.

I don’t know how but during the opening scene of this movie, I started to think this is my favourite superhero movie trilogy of all time, just from these two movies.

Ok so, this is sort of the aftermath of the the second movie, and againI don’t know how but during the opening scene of this movie, I started to think this is my favourite superhero movie trilogy of all time, just from these two movies.

Ok so, this is sort of the aftermath of the the second movie, and again Christopher Nolan uses it amazingly, he made such a great aftermath movie, and somehow after making the masterpiece that is the dark knight, he somehow makes another masterpiece with this movie.

Bane is an amazing villain, not as good as heath ledgers joker but he is still amazing, he seems so convincingly evil and real, like the joker, he has reasons to be evil and he’s convincing and seems like he could sort of be a real villain in real life, and also with bane sort of.

Commissioner gordon and Bruce Wayne/Batman are both amazing in this too, I love how the commissioner has sort of a main character era at the beginning of the movie.

I also love how the lie about Harvey’s death is used in this movie, and how the Batman is being hated on and made out to be a bad person, it also seems like a thing that would happen in real life.

I also love Anne Hathaway as cat woman, she gives a great performance in this, just like the rest of the cast.

Again I’ll have to rewatch this, preferably with headphones so I can hear everything the characters say, instead of background noise as well as the sounds from this movie.

I love how In both of these movies there are so many different main characters and characters and different plot points but they all connect and are all great and work.

John Blake is also a great character, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt gives a great performance as him as well.

I can’t get over how good both heath ledger and Tom Hardys performances as Batman villains are, they both fit their characters perfectly.

And honestly has one of my favourite superhero movie endings ever.

An incredible masterpiece and such a brilliant way to end the Dark Knight trilogy; Christopher Nolan brings us a wonderful story with perfect dialogue and exceptional characters brought to life onto the screen. Transforming comic bookAn incredible masterpiece and such a brilliant way to end the Dark Knight trilogy; Christopher Nolan brings us a wonderful story with perfect dialogue and exceptional characters brought to life onto the screen. Transforming comic book characters into his own style, we find the likes of Batman sharing time with Bane and Catwoman who are executed masterfully with returning legends like Commissioner Gordon, Lucius Fox and Scarecrow.

Stacked with incredible actors, the cast is just full of awesome talent and professionals who achieve the right amount of spectacle to command the screen all at the same time. Christian Bale manages to solidify his character in this final installment, leaving his mark and carrying out his legacy. We see so many sides of Bruce, as we find him lost and out of his game. Joining him are the talented Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman who reprise their roles in fantastic quality. The emotional impact that Alfred leaves in this story is strong and heartbreaking. Joseph Gordon-Levitt makes for a great newcomer and sells his abilities as an actor in both the action and the emotional scenes.

Tom Hardy brings us a powerful booming Bane, taking to the screen and charging in like a powerhouse. He is immensely terrifying, playing the role of a war-minded terrorist who’s always a step ahead. Anne Hathaway is simply outstanding as Selina Kyle, ushering in a classy and sexy Catwoman into Nolan’s universe. Her costume is impeccable and her role within the film is perfect. Even actors like Ben Mendelsohn and Burn Gorman play such memorable and fun characters; also it’s amazing to see Cillian Murphy reprise his role as Scarecrow in the few scenes he manages to get.

The story itself is incredibly complex and fantastically written. While some twists may be obvious and expected, others are done nicely and crafted excellently. This movie is very dialogue heavy (which I love, especially in how it’s written) but if you fail to keep up with the conversations, you may miss out on big details. The action still serves as a crowd pleasing adrenaline rush, seeing tons of explosions and tanks move by as Batman engages in some cool choreography with Bane. Some of the action does get a little chopped up by the editing, which is a minor issue I have.

There’s also the issue of aspect ratio, as we mostly find a lot of the landscape shots and a few scenes of the film constantly switching back and forth. Some people may not notice it, but for others it can be incredibly distracting. Still, I deeply love this movie for the themes and messages, as well as the adaptations of the comic book characters who are translated into Nolan’s style. The Dark Knight Rises is a fitting and epic conclusion to leave off on for this flawless trilogy… Expand

There's sheer terror that comes through Bane that I didn't see in the prior installment adversaries. He's calculating, physically large/intimidating and commanding. What's there not to like? The work of Christopher Nolan and the cinematographer are also commendable. The pacing is better this time around and the visuals are stunning for it's time! Hope they revive this version.… Expand

I think he’s played brilliantly by Tom Hardy and he really does feel just as intimidating as his comic counterpart, despite not being pumped with venom. In a film series that took liberties with its characters, Bane really feels like the biggest liberty taken, but it lead to a version that I actually think is superior to the comic version. This version of Bane is a horrifically maimed man who comes to Gotham to finish what Ra’s Al Ghul started, and attempts to destroy Gotham to rid it of the corruption it holds. His design is also a great aspect of his character like his abstract mask design, his imposing figure amongst his minions, and his voice. Some may say the voice is goofy but I always liked it, especially when paired with his overall polite manner. Despite this the movie manages to show us different aspects of his character. Like when he gets hit in the face we see this adrenaline rush animalistic version of him, or when Talia’s backstory is revealed and we see a much more sympathetic side to him. I guess Bane is just a villain that works for me. Batman’s journey, while not as thematically complex as it was in The Dark Knight, is still a great one for his character. After his somewhat failure at the end of the last movie, his path is one of redemption, to have the dark knight rise up once again. However, as he tries to enter the game again he is crippled by Bane after his back is broken, putting him in his worst position yet. He is forced to sit in pain and watch the city he swore to protect be destroyed by this madman. After going through the pains of healing and training to climb the pit (one of the most triumphant scenes in film), he can finally redeem himself and become the hero Gotham needs. This leads to him taking down both Bane and Talia Al Ghul and sacrificing himself to save the city from Bane’s bomb. However, it’s revealed that the Bat was placed on autopilot, so while Batman May be dead, Bruce Wayne isn’t as he sees Alfred in the cafe in Florence. This movie also introduces Catwoman, and while she doesn’t get as much time as the others, she still goes through an extremely satisfying arc. She starts in the movie as this desperate criminal looking for a “clean slate protocol” and learns to care for others after the immense guilt of betraying Bruce. By the end she’s the one to save him from Bane by killing him, still showing her and Batman are the antithesis of each other. This movie also introduced other interesting characters, like John Blake who gives us insight into the corruption in the police force as well as has someone take on the mantle of Batman after Bruce. Or Talia who gives us an interesting twist villain while also making Bane so much more sympathetic. Bane crying is something I’m not sure I needed but it really saddened me. Everything technical about this movie is great too. The score, the cinematography, the acting, and the scale of the movie are all fantastic. What I love about this movie though is it’s themes as it continues the themes of the previous two films. Batman Begins was about Batman confronting fear (Ra’s Al Ghul and Scarecrow) and The Dark Knight was about his confrontation against chaos (Joker and Two Face). This movie deals with him confronting pain, represented by the pain inflicted on him by Bane and Talia, but also the pain they endured in their tragic pasts. What else can I say? I love this movie and it really is fantastic in my eyes. I guess I can understand some people disliking it but for me, this movie falls in line with the rest of the trilogy perfectly. It has great character arcs, a fantastic villain, and one of me favorite thematic conflicts in film. I don’t think there will be a day where I don’t defend this movie. Bane’s speech was also pretty epic, perfectly summarizing his character. If you can’t tell, he was the highlight for me… Expand

Officer Blake was a cool point of view, I was ok with him being Robin, but they didn’t really expand on it. Loved Catwoman, the perfect morale rising character, Hathaway was great. The idea of Gotham going into Marshall Law, and the corrupt taking over was a good arc, loved the Scarecrow appearance as well. This movie provided the second straight perfect ending, from Batman sacrificing it all, to him telling Gordon who he is, to the final scene with Alfred, magical.

I truly believe this is the best superhero film of all time. ‘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.’

Here’s my justification. A complacent Gotham - disaster bubbling under the surface, a waning Bruce Wayne, a tormented Jim Gordon, a curiously forthright Robin, a scheming Selina Kyle, a guilty Alfred, and the knocking of Bane on Batman’s door.

I truly think these elements were PERFECT for this finale. First time round I wasn’t a big fan of this Selina Kyle. I still think Reeves’ iteration is better, but this time around I appreciated Hathaway’s performance much more. It’s actually pretty good, crafting the seductive and feminine with the ruthless (for the most part). Her character works well within the story too. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a great addition, the counterpart to Bruce’s state of being and a plucky hero we can get behind. Gary Oldman is such a good actor, I love him so much. Michael Caine also hands in his best TDK performance in this. At the end, his apology to the graves of Thomas and Martha Wayne is heartbreaking. The opening scene is brilliant. The action overall is better, I think, than in either of the previous films. The score is just, sensational. Cold realism in cinematography always works and Nolan’s spectacular camerawork, editing, shot choice and set pieces are at their peak as usual.

There’s moments of subtle comedy, entrancement, gripping action, social commentary, charming character moments from some of the best actors working today…. and the whole film greatly benefits from being a comeback story. Everything is better when it’s Bruce getting back into Batmanism, everything’s better when old characters and places are revisited. Bruce Wayne, who defeated the Joker, tested one final time. A redemption arc. An absolute breeding ground for a compelling story, a perfect tie-up of a trilogy. Bruce’s acceptance of the tragedy of his life, his then relapse into a primal discovery of himself, his then final stand - by far the best journey the trilogy takes us on. ‘You do not fear death. You think this makes you strong. It makes you weak. How can you move faster than possible, fight longer than possible, without the most powerful impulse of the spirit? The fear of death.’
**** poetry. Also, Tom Hardy as Bane is just as good as the Joker. A menacing force, brimming with cinematic larger than life macho, dominance, an almost calming and spiritual violence. The exploration of terrorism, mob mentality, and rebellion brought about by Bane makes for sharp and visceral entertainment with a massively applicable commentary on the real world. Bane’s monologue, over the montage of Gotham tearing itself up from the inside, is riveting. Nolan said that he didn’t intend the film to be political, rather about ‘primal fears’. I felt this was perfectly paced, never a dull moment, the screenplay cleverly knowing when the story needed to rise and fall, when we needed to see what, and what needed to transpire at the end of it all. There’s no doubt a few flaws in this but I loved it, and I’ll make its case profusely. Really felt as if Nolan put Bruce first in this, making sure he was done justice, before going wild with the cinematic spectacle. Beautifully, both aspects worked out. Also, one of my favourite details was the burning bat signal. Perfect symbol of Batman’s phoenix-like resurrection - born from ashes.

This affected me emotionally more than I thought it would, or even could. It’s a beautiful story, and somehow I feel as if it’s an inspiring story, that can teach us a lot of things. ‘You wouldn’t say anything to me, nor me to you. But we’d both know that you’d made it.… Expand

Still reeling from the events of the last movie, it's more of aChristopher Nolan delivers a more than satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. While the Dark Knight had a crime thriller tone, this films carries a grim, post-apocalyptic feel. Still reeling from the events of the last movie, it's more of a slow burner, with the titular hero appearing for shorter periods of time. The hero ascends from the pits of despair, removing the physical embodiment of the symbol in order for the symbol of heroism to be solidified. After falling to crushing defeat and suffering, The Dark Knight indeed rises, out of the shadows, out of the silence, out of the depths of despair but a representation of sacrifice and good, allowing Gotham to be forever changed and Bruce Wayne to live.

The performances once again are top notch. Cristian Bale returns as an older, mentally and spiritually broken Bruce Wayne, who is in need of a revival. Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman all slip back into their roles acting as more of elderly counsel, although it is rather odd that Alfred disappears for most of the film. As for the new editions, Tom Hardy crushes it as the menacing Bane, proving to be the biggest threat to the Bat and Gotham. Joseph Gordon-Levitt convinces as a hopeful police officer who still believes in the city. Anne Hathaway is perfect as Catwoman and is to this day the best onscreen portrayal of the character.

The tone is somehow more bleak than its two predecessors, with Gotham now virtually a police state, with the hero villified for years with a new foe on the horizon. Hans Zimmer delivers with his score one more time. The visuals are darker and more serious (if that's possible). Once again, there is an emphasis on practical effects which provides that extra realism.… Expand

TDKR is a mixture of both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight but in a grander way. Bigger story, bigger impact, and bigger conclusions. Great music and impressive visuals (IMAX scenes were so so good) once again, too noteworthy to not mention. The new characters were all fantastic additions, from Catwoman, John Blake, and to Miranda Tate. Most specifically Tom Hardy's Bane, a very unique portrayal of one of Batman's iconic foes from the comic books.

Besides that, I think this solidifies Christian Bale as the definitive Bruce Wayne and Dark Knight. He took the role to another level in the entire series, almost like laying a standard for what Batman should be in cinema. Pattinson is my personal favorite, but Bale was born for this role and he showed why.

Almost a decade after stopping the Joker, Batman (Christian Bale) steps away from the shadows of Gotham's exile to defend the city against the brutal antagonist Bane (Tom Hardy).

With the bar set extremely high following the success and acclaimed reception of The Dark Knight, not only did Nolan have to fill his own big shoes, but Hardy needed to create a villain just as worthy of audiences' praise following Heath Ledger's Joker. The film succeeded on all fronts and was an excellent send-off for Bale's Batman.… Expand

"The Dark Knight Rises" (2012) is a thrilling conclusion to the epic Batman trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. The film picks up eight years after the events of the previous film, with Batman (Christian Bale) having disappeared from Gotham City after taking the blame for the death of Harvey Dent. However, when the city is threatened by the ruthless terrorist Bane (Tom Hardy), Batman must return to save the day.

The performances in this film are exceptional, with Bale once again delivering a brooding and intense portrayal of Batman. Hardy is also fantastic as the terrifying and physically imposing Bane, bringing a sense of danger and unpredictability to the character. Anne Hathaway is a standout as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, infusing the character with both cunning and vulnerability.

The action sequences in "The Dark Knight Rises" are some of the most thrilling and intense ever put on film. The fight scenes are expertly choreographed, and the film's set pieces are stunningly realized. The film also has a strong thematic depth, exploring the consequences of heroism and the corrupting influence of power.

While some may criticize the film's pacing and length, the slow burn of the first act builds to a thrilling and satisfying climax. "The Dark Knight Rises" is a fitting conclusion to Nolan's Batman trilogy, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the Dark Knight himself.… Expand

He is not born with superpowers or anything, he just had a very tragic childhood with his parents getting killed in front of him, which is the main reason why he decides to become the protector of Gotham. No superpowers, just his wits, combat training and gadgets! Everything in this movie is perfection. The whole Dark Knight trilogy is PERFECTION and it is one of my favourite trilogies of all time.

The cast is perfect in this movie. Everyone fit their role perfectly. The performances are incredible. The villains are so good. Tom Hardy as Bane, with that voice, it could not have been better. Anne Hathaway makes an excellent Catwoman as well.

The story focuses more on Bruce Wayne in this movie, like in Batman Begins. It is dark, emotional and well written. The fights are amazing as usual, especially when Bane is involved. I really liked the twist in the end with Miranda Tate, which I did not see coming! The reveal of Robin was epic as well and I would have loved a movie from Nolan about that.

The relationship between Bruce and Alfred in this movie is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Very emotional. I also like the chemistry between Batman and Catwoman. Lucius Fox is great as usual. "And yes, Mr. Wayne, it does come in black."

This whole trilogy is truly a masterpiece. Every movie is good in its own way. What an epic conclusion to this trilogy. Batman got the ending he deserved. Well done Nolan! 10/10!… Expand

Chris Nolan’s direction is impeccable here as he crates such a realistic approach to the films tone. Both Chris and Jonathan Nolan’s screenplay is very clever in that it is secretly a sequel to Batman begins rather then the dark knight which is clever. The story is so emotionally complex and gripping. I’m really glad Batman wasn’t in it that much and really focused more on the character of Bruce Wayne and gave him more development. The scenes in the pit are fantastic because it really shows Bruce learning to become Batman again. Tom hardy as Bane is simply terrifying! My god I love this film! Wally Pfister‘s cinematography is very grandiose and epic, Han Zimmer’s score is absolutely amazing! Bane’s theme is extremely menacing as well as “Necessary Evil” being a highlight. Lee Smith‘s editing is very important in creating a sense of urgency and clarity. His use of cross cutting is so well done. This is my personal favourite of the trilogy because it really peels back the layers of Bruce as a person as well as showcasing Gotham as a character. Still a flawless masterpiece. 10/10.

The 4K HDR10 grade is mastered at 1399nits at it has a really nice yellowish hue to it. Highlights are very nice and pop well. Detail and shadow detail are nicely balanced. Black levels are again raised but that’s part of the film print.

“The Dark Knight Rises” is the satisfying culmination of the groundwork laid in the first two films of the trilogy. The character arcs are what pay off in this film, resulting in an emotional and poignant conclusion to the story. Taking“The Dark Knight Rises” is the satisfying culmination of the groundwork laid in the first two films of the trilogy. The character arcs are what pay off in this film, resulting in an emotional and poignant conclusion to the story. Taking inspiration from Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities," ("It's as close as I'll get to adapting" the book, says Nolan), the film is bigger in scale and scope, putting class struggle, societal unrest, and revolution front and center. "We went for the historical epic, the disaster film," Nolan says.

After having overcome his fear in "Batman Begins," and defeated his biggest foe to date in "The Dark Knight," the stakes are ramped up for Bruce Wayne in "The Dark Knight Rises." Holed up for 8 years, Bruce is still reeling from Rachel's death. When Bane, a former member of the league of Shadows, makes his appearance, Bruce finds a reason to don the cowl and cape again. The film circles back to the League of Shadows, with Bane and Talia al Ghul setting out to fulfill Ra's al Ghul's destiny: destroy Gotham city.

Bruce's story arc is incredibly powerful as we see just how far he falls. Bane quite literally breaks his body and spirit, casting him into a pit with no way out and condemning him to helplessly watch his city be destroyed. The symbolism of climbing out of the pit, using the story of a child who escaped only because she jumped without a rope, is the defining moment in the trilogy for Bruce. He once again harnesses his fear and uses it as a tool to overcome his demons.

Another emotionally rewarding arc the film provides is that of Bruce and Alfred, the man who has known him for his entire life and stood by his side through it all. When first discussing the role with Michael Caine, Chris told him, "This is a character who is going to have the potential to steal the whole movie." He was absolutely right. Because Bruce and Alfred's relationship was built-up so well, "The Dark Knight Rises" features several moments that pay-off emotionally. Consider the scene where Alfred tells Bruce how he imagined seeing him while on holiday, desperate to know that he was safe. Or the heartbreaking scene where, in a bid to dissuade Bruce from going up against Bane, Alfred resigns, something which obviously pains him to do.

Also adding emotional weight to the film is the score by Hans Zimmer. In his Masterclass, the composer states it's the one film soundtrack he always wanted to make, and it's certainly an achievement. The motifs–from Catwoman, to Bane, to Bruce Wayne rising out of the pit–are all brilliant, textured to fit each character and theme.

In the 11 years since the trilogy concluded, I never considered "The Dark Knight Rises" my favorite of the bunch. After having rewatched the films back-to-back for the purposes of these reviews, I can safely say it is my favorite. It's the summation of all of the ideas and themes the previous films covered, and the completion of the arcs of its characters. The trilogy, undeniably influential and groundbreaking, was handled with an acute perception of the issues of humanity's past, present and future. Not simply a great "superhero" series, but great cinema. Period.… Expand

This movie, about Batman who is coerced out of exile with the assistance of the mysterious Selina Kyle in order to defend Gotham City from the vicious guerrilla terrorist Bane, is a masterpiece of an ending to The Dark Knight TrilogyThis movie, about Batman who is coerced out of exile with the assistance of the mysterious Selina Kyle in order to defend Gotham City from the vicious guerrilla terrorist Bane, is a masterpiece of an ending to The Dark Knight Trilogy (2005-2012)!

What makes me enjoying this the most out of the trilogy is the inclusion of what I missed in its predecessors despite having a love for them as well, which were Batman Begins’ (2005) mediocre third act, and The Dark Knight’s (2008) lack of emotional engagement. This movie had it all. I love the second movie, and I think it’s slightly better than the first movie, but I’m glad The Dark Knight Rises finished what Batman Begins started.

It was a pure joy to watch from start to finish, but speaking of the third act in the first movie, the third act in The Dark Knight Rises was perfect, I think. It was epic and exciting with a lot of cool action, but also with a twist, where it ends with a tragedy; Batman’s death. Batman’s line “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.” gets me every time. It’s the foundation of Batman’s symbol, and it’s all about taking the initiative to make a change for the better. Batman Begins was about a hero being born based on fear, but The Dark Knight Rises was about rising after the fall, which is thanks to Bruce’s father Thomas Wayne. This movie was an emotional ride, and what I found most emotional was Alfred Pennyworth crying by the Waynes’ grave, but also the public, memorial statements about Batman with the beautiful soundtrack in background by composer Hans Zimmer. It felt so heavy to think about the loss of Batman and his sacrifice for Gotham after many years work. Batman was a hero, but also more than a hero. He was a symbol of hope during the darkest times to all kinds of people until the light shined again. Bane’s task was to destroy Gotham without exception and hesitation with the use of pure terror, and he terrified in every way. I think Joker was the most interesting villain in the trilogy, mainly because of his psychology. However, he was brutal, but Bane was brutal on another level. Joker preferred to surprise people with his actions based on his sneaky ideas, but Bane preferred to force people to watch and feel every detail of his actions from start to finish no matter how terrorizing they were. You could actually count how many times he broke a neck, and he even killed his own men without hesitation to get what he wanted. Just his look was terrifying enough. I had mixed thoughts about his voice, but it was very peculiar, which made him even scarier. You recognized him as soon as you heard his voice. The choreography of Bane’s fighting is one of the best ones I have ever seen. It was extremely brutal and fast, and his moves weren’t just regular movie moves. You could almost feel the pain of every single punch and kick by him.

The technical aspects made this movie cinematically epic. The general cinematography was my favorite technical element, but also the general sound and of course the soundtrack by Zimmer made this experience extremely enjoyable. The soundtrack in this one has a more terrorizing and brutal style compared to the beautiful and clean melody in the first movie, and the raw, electric guitar sound in The Dark Knight, which helped to make a perfect conclusion to the trilogy. In conclusion, this movie serves as a captivating finale where it expertly filled the elements that its predecessors lacked, such as Batman Begins' mediocre third act and The Dark Knight's lack of emotional depth. The third act in this movie is particularly remarkable, delivering epic action intertwined with a tragic twist—the death of Batman. This moment, coupled with Batman's profound words about heroism and hope, solidifies his legacy as a symbol of inspiration. Bane, portrayed as a brutal and terrifying antagonist, adds another layer of intensity to the movie. With its exceptional technical aspects, from cinematography to the haunting soundtrack by Zimmer, this movie concludes the trilogy on a truly epic note, leaving viewers both satisfied and moved… Expand

He was not only a cherished series’ final adversary, but also the first significant Batman antagonist since Heath Ledger’s Joker, who is frequently recognised as one of the best villains in movie history. Hardy gave a scary performance that let “The Dark Knight Rises” close Nolan’s Batman trilogy on a positive note while living up to those nearly unattainable expectations.

After Ra’s Al Ghul (Liam Neeson) dies, Bane takes control of the League of Shadows and is entrusted with completing their takeover of Gotham City. Bane is excited about the prospect of going up against Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), and he devises a sophisticated plan to divide and conquer Gotham’s citizens. After trapping Batman and injuring him, he takes Batman across the ocean to the underground jail where Bane was grown. With Gotham’s top guard paralysed, Bane takes control as he blows up a football stadium and releases the city’s imprisoned criminals.

Batman faces a psychological and physical challenge from Bane. While Bane’s terrible torture demonstrates Hardy’s physical supremacy over him, Bane’s choice to let Wayne suffer rather than simply killing him is what makes him so heinous. Hardy more than met the demand for a terrifying antagonist in Bale’s final voyage as Batman… Expand

Nolan’s greatest accomplishment as a filmmaker, and one of the most transcendent experiences I’ve ever had, and still have today. Where Begins grasps me emotionally on a primal level, and TDK moved me into shock and awe, Rises blends both of those worlds together, but also blends into this feeling of euphoria, like this is what I’ve been waiting for my whole life. A legend who’s marked his place in history, risen out of the darkness (mentally & psychically), and become a symbol of hope for all of those who are still searching for the light. A coda much deserving of any and all praise. And the entire finale nearly had some tears flowing this time, especially with Alfred standing over Bruce’s grave.

Don't get me wrong, I still adore this film. I love the opening scene on the plane. Then all the way to the end and the nod and the new Dark Knight rising.

But, a few things elsewhere had me drop that half star.

Michael Caine is outstanding here. It's probably his best performance in the trilogy.

Hathaway and Cotillard are great additions too and the flip from Bane to Talia is still so well handled.

Hardy as Bane is phenomenal. The fight scene in the sewers with absolutely zero score is so well handled.

Nolan definitely watched this a few years ago and thought, I need to make that atomic bomb actually happen … Expand

A film that could solve all the problems of the previous two films and turn this trilogy into a happy memory. But it turned it into the most bitter sequel that could be made and left a lot of questions.
For example, we see Bruce paralyzed inA film that could solve all the problems of the previous two films and turn this trilogy into a happy memory. But it turned it into the most bitter sequel that could be made and left a lot of questions.
For example, we see Bruce paralyzed in the movie, but with the help of some gadgets, he was able to stand up again! And this issue continues to be forgotten and not addressed at all.
Now, the movie doesn't learn from its two biggest faults in the previous movie and makes them more severe! That is, we witness that there was no Bruce for 8 years!!! So what did you do during this time with the common thieves that I mentioned in the previous review?
The rush of the movie to show zero to the hero's loss is over. What does that mean? It means that Bruce has not been around for 8 years and now he has returned with the help of some gadgets to do his duty (which he has not done in these 8 years). He turns and loses his property. When he fights against that threat, he breaks his back and is imprisoned. He finds a doctor to fix his back and comes back and defeats Bane and apparently dies!!! The volume of the story is over for one episode to the detriment of the film.
The new character of the movie, John Blake, is not bad. I'll correct it: he's very good, but there's a problem: first, he knew at a glance that Bruce is Batman, and no other explanation was given! Second, at the end of the movie, we find out that he's the same Robin! Well, first of all, all 5 Robins In the world of comics, they are children. Second, if they make a mistake, they are either crude or childish. You are a policeman and have a house for yourself!!! And Bruce, even though he knew this, gave him the key to Batman's cave. And this means curd!!!
Unlike the first movie, where we had a great twist from Ra's Al Ghul, here the case of his daughter is narrated in the worst way: Bane is an evil person who is stronger than Batman in every way and banishes her to a dungeon and it seems that she is the same child who Jumped out of the dungeon. This means that he is Ras Al Ghul's child and his destiny, and this is a good thing. But we understand that Miranda Tate, who does not have a correct background and is not understandable, is the same Ras Al Ghul's child. In this way, Bane's motivation for evil is ruined and the villain of the story is dragged into the mud. .
However, the acting of the actors, the action sequence and loyalty in the film are shown in the best way. But it is a pity that the script is full of holes and closes the case of this trilogy...… Expand

This movie has got packaged with drama, action, entertainment. May be more action than drama. Christian Bale has done exceptionally well as Bruce Wayne.
