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.
Transcendental. The best movie of the decade (2010s), Nolan's best film and the best superhero movie ever made. Nolan is at the top of his game here. This is filmmaking at its finest.
Bane is the best villain in the history of cinema. Hardy has created something truly special. Ledger's Joker isn't close and in my opinion is overrated.
Everything from Marvel is trash.
This is spectacular filmmaking.
The best Dark Knight movie that could have ever been made combined with the best Score in any movie ever.Incredible sound that I have no complaints about.Great plot-line which adds on more characters to the mix which makes the story even better in my opinion from the mainly singular approach of the Batman to team work on a better **** action/fighting is as best can be suited for a movie like this along with a war of police officers.
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.
"The Dark Knight Rises," the final installment in Christopher Nolan's acclaimed Batman trilogy, is a cinematic masterpiece that delivers on all fronts. Released in 2012, this film not only serves as a riveting conclusion to the saga of the Caped Crusader but also stands tall as a compelling and thought-provoking piece of storytelling.From the opening sequence to the closing credits, "The Dark Knight Rises" captivates audiences with its intense action, intricate plot, and memorable characters. Christian Bale reprises his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman with a depth and gravitas that solidifies his place as one of the best actors to don the iconic cape and cowl. Anne Hathaway shines as the sultry and agile Catwoman, bringing a new dimension to the character with her charismatic performance. Tom Hardy's portrayal of the formidable villain Bane is chilling and unforgettable, making him a worthy adversary for Batman.Christopher Nolan's direction is nothing short of brilliant, seamlessly weaving together multiple storylines and maintaining a brisk pace that keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. The film's visual effects are stunning, with breathtaking action sequences that are both exhilarating and visually striking. Hans Zimmer's score is another standout element, enhancing the film's emotional depth and adding to its epic scale.What sets "The Dark Knight Rises" apart from other superhero films is its thematic richness and philosophical undertones. Nolan explores complex themes such as justice, sacrifice, and the nature of heroism, challenging audiences to think deeply about the moral dilemmas faced by the characters. The film's narrative is filled with twists and turns that keep viewers guessing until the very end, culminating in a satisfying and emotional conclusion that resonates long after the credits
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!
