A cinematic, cultural and personal triumph, The Dark Knight Rises is emotionally inspiring, aesthetically significant and critically important for America itself – as a mirror of both sober reflection and resilient hope.
With spectacle in abundance and sexiness in (supporting) parts, this is superhero filmmaking on an unprecedented scale. Rises may lack the surprise of Begins or the anarchy of Knight, but it makes up for that in pure emotion.

Plot: 10/10Acting: 10/10Music: 10/10Cinematography: 10/10Writing: 10/10Ending: 1000/10Overall: 100/10 Opinion on Christopher Nolan's Batman sagaIn my opinion, this saga is the best thing I've ever seen in my life, I'd go so far as to say that this trilogy is EPIC. Also, it has a cast of an otherworldly quality, a "young" Cillian or an actor who was not much talked about (Heath Leadger). For starters, this saga goes through Bruce's entire life, from the death of his parents to his advancement and development to form Batman. Without further ado, this saga leaves nothing to be desired, from the smallest detail to the most remarkable detail, the music, the set design, everything deserves to be noticed. Talking a little about the movie, I have to say how fascinating it is, personally, the unexpected plot twist drove me crazy, and also the ending.ENOUGH, THIS TRILOGY IS ALL THAT'S RIGHT WATCH IT
The Dark Knight Rises ultimately justifies its length (in fact, a good argument could be made for a longer cut) and the last 45 minutes is nothing short of spectacular. From the point where the narrative takes a leap of faith, it never lets up.
The Dark Knight Rises may be a hammy, portentous affair but Nolan directs it with aplomb. He takes these cod-heroic, costumed elements and whisks them into a tale of heavy-metal fury, full of pain and toil, surging uphill, across the flyovers, in search of a climax.
Doesn't rise as much as it flounders and frustrates, in what would appear to be a case of a filmmaker prioritizing ego over efficiency, and engaging in generally muddled storytelling.
Halfheartedly, I give The Dark Knight Rises - the third and final Batflick in the Nolan trilogy - one star for eardrum-busting sound effects and glaucoma-inducing computerized images in blinding Imax, but talk about stretching things.
In 2012 Christopher Nolan returned to Gotham to conclude his Batman trilogy.Having allowed Batman to take responsibility for the crimes and death of Harvey Dent, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has turned reclusive and Batman ceases to exist. When a brutal terrorist and member of The League of Shadows known only as Bane (Tom Hardy) begins to put his stamp on the city, Bruce is forced to become Batman once more. Tasked with repairing both his mind and body, with the help of Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) and the mysterious Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), Batman must put a stop to Bane’s plans if he wishes to save Gotham.Woven into The Dark Night Rises’ narrative is an understanding of everything this version of Batman has faced. Each chapter of Nolan’s trilogy is its own story, but rooted throughout is Bruce Wayne’s strength, resilience, rage and fear, none of which are more prevalent than in this concluding episode. Now physically frail and broken, eight years have passed since Batman took down The Joker and he is neither the man nor hero he once was, but with Bane threatening Gotham, the Dark Knight must return.Moulded by darkness and being a fellow member of The League of Shadows, Bane is equipped with a devastating plan and excels in the dirty work; he is Gotham’s terror. Following in Heath Ledger’s footsteps as a popular DC villain, Hardy gives an iconic, transformative performance.Introduced as a new love interest for Bruce is Marion Cotillard’s Miranda, an executive on the Wayne Enterprises board. Initially only interested in business and his fusion project, she soon becomes important to Bruce. Also joining Nolan’s impressive cast, is Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Detective Blake, a young cop working for Commissioner Gordon. An honest character, Blake is another member of Nolan’s assembled team who stands up to Bane and his mercenaries.Building on the success of its predecessor, The Dark Knight Rises ups the effects, visuals, action and sound with refined **** VerdictAn exhilarating end to Nolan’s trilogy; The Dark Knight Rises is ambitious, dark and smart
Unfortunately the weakest movie in the Trilogy. Most of the characters are likeable and there are some pretty cool fight scenes, but some parts are badly paced, and the writing is mediocre. Despite the flaws, it's overall a decent ending to the Dark Knight Trilogy.
If the first two films did not impress me this is the one I liked the least and that I think is the worst of the trilogy. Nothing comes back in the script, action scenes shot very badly, characters who do not convince by writing. A film that I didn't like at all.
Why is it that Bane is literally so cool in every other incarnation of him /except/ for the one he's most notably known for? This movie ****, dude. The portrayal of Bane is literally so exaggerated its comedic. You could say that about this entire movie, actually-- the whole conflict that it rides on is so out of the feeling of anything real it's hard to get invested in. Bale has never been a good Batman to me, and this movie just cements his mediocrity. The Dark Knight is perfect because its everything this movie isn't-- almost never wasting a moment, always keeping you guessing, beautiful performances that bring you into the characters, a story and plot full of themes that are coherent and come full circle, a well believable world and take on the story, and of course, not one but two amazing villains. This movie has none of that. It's predictable, has little replay value, I don't care about ANY of the characters, blah blah blah "darkness", and i **** hate Bane. It really **** that this movie ends an iconic trilogy. It just doesn't do it justice at all!
