Absolutely amazing

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The Dark Knight Rises (or T.D.K.R.) became the centerpiece of many Batman fans debating as to whether or not it was the sequel we deserved or needed; I say it was exactly that and more. T.D.K.R. managed to deliver the same super-thrills of The Dark Knight and then some of its own dare I say more ambitious thrills in making this like a blockbuster take on 'A Tale of Two Cities' while expanding on the areas Batman Begins may, or may not have, squandered in its story and exploration of the League of Shadows. This film makes The Avengers look like a cucumber sandwich compared to the French 'croque monsieur' of blockbuster proportions that is Chris Nolan's T.D.K.R..I love this film; it's a great exploration of what happened after The Dark Knight, and Batman's not the same person he was after he encountered The Joker. Now he's about to confront Bane, come out of retirement since Harvey Dent's demise, save Gotham from the League of Shadows, and maybe Bruce Wayne will meet his untimely end in this chapter. Also Catwoman's in this movie and she's one of the strong points for me. Somebody could argue that this movie is almost too much movie for a superhero film to contain; you have social commentary, terrorism, nuclear weaponry, thieves, the impact of one's influence on children, and of course this is all revolving around Batman and Gotham City. It's suitably epic, over-the-top and bombastic; it's exactly what a superhero movie strives to be. It never pulls its punches in its set-pieces and it shows Chris Nolan makes movies like nobody else these days can come close to.The Dark Knight Rises is a 5/5 star superhero flick that can be argued as one of the most over-the-top yet baldest movies of the 2010s. Chris Nolan knows how to make his movies a gargantuan event.

Much like the final Harry Potter movie, The Dark Knight Rises is good, but it's not the best of the series. This final installment ends the trilogy well. It gives us inspiring heroes, intimidating villains and plenty of dramatic action. However, some important plot points seem glossed over, there are some cheesy moments and Anne Hathaway's role seems a little out of place. Nevertheless, I liked it and I will be proud to have all three of Nolan's Batman films in my collection.

This movie was a very interesting one, but in so many different ways. This movie has so many question marks which needs to be addressed. Yes, The Dark Knight Rises was a good movie to watch especially when you first see it, but it's definitely not as good as Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. This movie seems to have too many plot holes which causes problems. Also, I don't like the eight year gap after The Dark Knight story because it's too long for my liking: three, four or five years would've made far more sense. Story was good, and it gets you very interested, but it could've been so much better. It does get you, the viewer, very engaged. Obviously, the best thing about this movie was Bane - the villain was very fearsome. Bane was terrific. The only downside to Bane was the outfit. Bane could've or should've looked far more menacing than it already was. He definitely should've been a lot bigger especially in height. After all, Bane was the only villain that was known to have "broken the bat". I don't think this movie did quite a good job of it. Some of his quotes were very memorable such as "Why are you here?", "Do you feel in charge" and "I was asking you". I like Bane, but I don't think he was the right choice to play the villain in this final movie. Someone such as the Riddler or the Penguin would've been far better, but that's just my personal opinion. But I can see why Bane was chosen, but the movie could've been far better than it already was had more care was given to it. I have a feeling after what happened to Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight Rises already lost a lot of its light before it was made, so that's why the movie wasn't as great. I don't know about you, but The Dark Knight Rises looked pretty dull to me right from the very beginning, and that's something I just didn't like about this movie. The soundtracks or themes for this movie was brilliant, and that was one of the few best things about this movie. The first movie was "Batman Begins". The second movie was "The Dark Knight". The third movie should've been either "Batman Ends" or "The Dark Knight Ends" - this is what this movie does I'm afraid. Yes, "The Dark Knight Rises", but it rises far too late. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight is something I could watch repeatedly, but not The Dark Knight Rises because The Dark Knight Ends.
