Bad, just an okey movie with a lot of action scenes and no real thinking involved, with a really poorly developed and unnecessary plot twist. don't bother watching if you aren't already an batman fan.
Masterful
Plot-wise, visually, and in terms of absolute badassery this movie is great. I‘m not that happy with the anti-socialist themes, though. I mean, Batman as a concept is already a man who prefers beating up „criminals“ (which, often enough, are desperate people just trying to make a living - like the men working for Bane) and spending millions of dollars on cool gadgets to using his wealth to fund more effective ways of reducing crime, but which wouldn’t allow for the visceral satisfaction of inflicting brutal corporal punishment on lesser men (in class and morality - which is something much easier to come by if you’ve never wanted for anything in your life). I can ignore all of that usually because Batman is a power fantasy (both for Bruce Wayne and for the audience), but in this movie there is so much overt anti-capitalist rhetoric that is portrayed as bad and associated with violence and deception that it gets hard to do.
Wow, this movie was thoroughly underwhelming. SPOILERS Below.
Then again, we don't know what would have happened had Heath Ledger been with us :(
89 | What a powerful movie to end a trilogy. When he out of his cave was the most hype moment that a film could give. Bane as a villain has a good performance just a little bit below Joker from The Dark Knight. But what was made The Dark Knight Rises interesting is the stake that even bigger than The Dark Knight. Bane successfully made Gotham city a failed state that concerns national security. This film is an amazing tribute not only to Batman's character but also to all the unknown heroes all over the world. Unfortunately, there was a bit problem that made The Dark Knight Rises less superior than The Dark Knight which is the editing. It feels choppy sometimes, especially the aspect ratio transition. But that minus point could easily be forgotten with the content of the story that this film gave. It was a hard and beautiful goodbye for Nolan's version of the Batman trilogy. It has an ambiguous ending that let us as the audience decide which feeling we want to have about The Batman.

I used to hate the guts of the plot holes in this movie, but honestly, the only thing that still bothers me ten years later is the infamous Fernet Branca plot twist at the end. The other gaps in logic and weird plot points are actually quite common in Nolan's trilogy from its very beginning, so why should we start caring now?
The tone is much closer to "Batman Begins" than it is to "The Dark Knight", just on a much higher budget and with possibly even more extravagant superhero tropes involved (which can be both a quality or a flaw depending on what you are looking for). It does not live up to the expectations, but it still works as a decent ending for an imperfect trilogy. It was good to see the whole Gotham fight alongside Batman instead of waiting to be saved as usual, and it really felt like the stakes skyrocketed during the civil war chunk of the plot.
The length used to bother me, but I now realize that it's actually much shorter than most recent blockbusters. The set-up is a little too slow, but at least I didn't risk falling asleep like with "Batman Begins".
"No guns. No killing."
"Where's the fun in that?"
Is this the best Batman movie? Maybe not. Is it my favorite? Yes, yes it is.
The gang is back, along with a host of extraordinary new cast members who somehow fit perfectly into Nolan's world. That insane opening sequence. The Batpod and the Bat. Zimmer goes so hard. And in contrast to the epic archetypes of The Dark Knight, this sociopolitical fable somehow feels personal, intimate and character-based. So fun. So funny. So hopeful. So bittersweet.
Was this movie necessary? Maybe not. But I'm so thankful we got it. What can I say—I'm a sucker for happy endings.
"The man I loved—the man who vanished—he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there somewhere. Maybe someday, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again."
—Rachel Dawes
Often times we forget how great this movie was. Has it's flaws but it's almost perfect. It's bigger than the second movie, stakes are higher, badass villian, beautifully ties up at the ending. Nolan is a genius. This trilogy is what cinema is all about.
Even though the plot feels messier than the previous two installments, one cannot resist a smile after the unexpected twist and final scenes, which make ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ a worthy final chapter of Nolan's epical trilogy.
9/10
To quote my friend J.R:
Batman & Robin = Juiced Up Bane
The Dark Knight Rises = Friend Zoned Bane
7.5/10 - Huh, quite good actually. I really liked the beginning but IMO it became boring towards the second half and the ending wasn't that beautiful (letting all his friends think that he's dead but basically revealing everything after some time...).
Catwoman is badass, which is really cool, but I don't like her character. IMO she's portrayed too selfish.
Bane's voice was cool but it got less interesting after a while. And apart from his voice I don't find him interesting. IMO he's a boring villain.
The twist with Miranda Tate got me a second time but I find it more annoying/frustrating than cool/surprising. She was such a lovely character...
At least John Blake was a cool new character and most importantly: We got many scenes with Fox and Gordon.
And I'd say the coolest part is definitely the new tech (that super cool electric motorcycle and "The Bat").
If there is only one little thing I'll nitpick about is that I wish there were more action scenes. They seemed to lack somewhat in this film, or they weren't as great as I was expecting them to be. The Dark Knight Rises is more character and story driven than the previous films which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Don't get me wrong besides that one little nitpick I thought the film was extremely excellent and Nolan continues to make great superhero films. As I said, The Dark Knight Rises has a great story line, all the cast were amazing, and above all else I loved the cameos and nods to all the previous films in the franchise. Without a doubt The Dark Knight Rises exceeds its predecessors and is the best in the trilogy (which is difficult for a third film in a trilogy to do) and it is a darn shame there will not be another film in the Nolan's Batman universe.
I saw this only once in the theater. Given Nolan's track record of terrific films I should probably see it again before I add my own thoughts. But no one is going to learn anything from me about what the filmmaker was trying to relay. There has been so much said about "The Dark Knight Rises" that all I can add is how it affected me.
I was truly on the edge of my seat while watching this. There were many moments that had my heart racing. I cared about the characters and I hated the villian. And when I say hated I mean Bane was portrayed well but I hated him. Everything that he stood for as I interpreted it. This is a very political movie. There is no hiding the fact that this is a commentary on class envy even class warfare. I am not a rich man. I have more than some and less than others. This movie spoke to me about what happens when the "Robin Hood" theory is applied to the way things work today. And that something is the total breakdown of a society that's far from perfect but one that works for most. When you have nothing to work for nothing to strive for you have nothing.
As it turns out Bane was a tyrant. Who though he offered the city to "The People" placed himself into the position of Ruler. The parallels to the "Occupy" movement are clear and the point the movie is making about that movement is not complimentary. It also takes its shots at the "rich" but to its credit relays what happens when everything belongs to everyone. And it isn't a pretty sight.
Social commentary aside there aren't many movies/films (whatever) that offer such exciting action sequences with quieter moments that actually require you to pay close attention. I have read some of the Critics' reviews and they often complain of a story too long or too complicated but their thoughts fly in the face of what they normally claim to desire. That is a story that makes you think. Those that are overly negative about this clearly accomplished film are either tired of the Superhero genre or they don't like the point it's trying to make.
It is sad to note that Nolan claims this is his last "Batman" film. It has been one of the most enjoyable series I've ever watched.
What a masterpiece. The best superhero movie to be ever made.!!!
Probably still the most overrated series in recent history. (Yeah, Marvel takes it for total hype, but I don't think people get pretentious about how serious MCU films take themselves.)
This film's plot, once it actually unfolds, is just a "dark and serious" take on the typical "big, dumb American patriot" action film, and the antagonists' motivations and actions don't make any sense. The last act plot bunnies are groan-inducingly stupid and ad hoc. All that just to make evil bad man bad so Batman and the police can be the good guys, and Catwoman-- the most individualistic and anarchistic character in the franchise -- can say "Whelp, I guess wanting to correct the class imbalance is evil and only bad people will do it. Gooo police state!" But hey, did you see how great Hathaway looked in that get-up!
I mean, she did, not that she doesn't always look amazing. But isn't this supposed to be the "grim, serious, realistic" Batman? And you've got some tiny-apartment-living twenty-something anarchist wearing a suit that visibly costs tens of thousands of dollars to create?
Seasoned viewers will realize that the almost entirely unconnected (second?) act and cute, tied-up-with-a-bow epilogue are just distracting palate wipes designed to bookend the plot contrivances sandwiched in between. And that's the Nolans' true talent: making pretty nonsensical little boy power fantasies that take themselves too seriously for the actual content, but mastering the tone that makes the inexperienced and the moronic think they've just watched something serious and profound.
Wonderful conclusion for the trilogy. Nicely done. Great script, a bit slow in the beginning but the pace sped up later. Acting and choreography was done properly. Nice ending. 9/10
It could have been better. It should have been better!
what they did to bane in this movie is nothing short of a travesty...really hammy performances from all, turgid script...not quite as bad as the last one but overall glad this Batman trilogy is wrapped up, as a Batman fan I look forward to someone new at the helm.
Half eh, half awesome. Eh since Batman is something that can go on and on. Imagine if Nolan went on to give his version of the Damien Wayne stories or the Dark Knight Returns.
I felt like they rushed to end things. They most likely had many films planned with Heath Ledger as the Joker. While I understand why they wouldn't recast the Joker. I do think the Joker deserved to be mentioned.
The good however is what some people consider bad and that's Tom Hardy's bad ass work as Bane. The Talia Al Ghul twist was disappointing since she reveals herself and bam she is dead. While Bruce himself just is retired for years and crippled before he comes back just...to retire again.
There's so little this Batman actually got to do or face if you think it about it. The movie is engaging and excellent for what it is. But some-what of a let down after the Dark Knight was so good.
Semi-Agree with @MX23 . My order of favorite to least favorite is 213 TDK, BB, TDKR. I love all three and they all are insanely good but dark knight. Incredible, the flow of that movie, and the story are perfect. batman begins also incredible, great start to the series minus katie holmes that douche. TDKR just lacked continuity IMHO, the soundtrack wasnt nearly as good as TDK, and there was more than a few points where either, something felt off, not genuine acting wise. The issues i have are so small that most people wouldn't even notice them but serious, thats why people like us are here using trakt. We collect, watch, scrutinize, and love doing it. Out of 100 BB 89 TDK 95 TDKR 88. If you wanna know why specifically you can find my stuff + contact here:

This isn't just a movie. It's a emotion. Hats off to entire team of The Dark Knight Triology. The best movie I've ever seen in my life. Christian Bale is the most versatile and talented actor I've seen on television. Also, this movie is my personal favourite of the TDK Triology. A stunning conclusion to both Bruce Wayne and The Batman...
This has a too convoluted plot and is too long but it still has some of the best moments of the trilogy. Bane and Catwoman are both great additions but they can't live up to the Joker.
I think I am only the one who cried for Bane...
A less effective villain and a somewhat disjointed start to the film as well as greater dependence on elements from the previous entries made this less satisfying than the previous entry though it was always going to be a tough act to follow. Still a rousing and fitting end to the trilogy - what surprises is that the most effective characters are new to the series - Hathaway and Levitt are outstanding. Previous supporting characters played by Oldman, Freeman and especially Caine all have their moment to shine and the action is as exciting as ever. But this is Bruce Wayne's film even more so than Batman and Nolan and Bale bring the themes and ideas introduced from the beginning to an emotional and fitting conclusion. The question now is reboot or continue but as it stands Nolan has managed to create that rare thing in film - a completely enthralling and satisfying trilogy

Awesome movie! Only thing that I didn't really get was the ending: Was Alfred having a fantasy, as he mentioned earlier in the movie, or has Batman really survived the explosion and retired with Catwoman?
Neither can i..
Good performances especially from Tom Hardy.
Weak script. Illogical decisions every 5 minutes to drive the plot. Great action but the absence of a coherent story makes them less enjoyable and frankly obsolete. 5.5/10

"The Dark Knight Rises" is a thrilling conclusion to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Christian Bale delivers another powerful performance as the caped crusader, facing off against the formidable Bane, played by Tom Hardy. The film is action-packed and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
It's a must-see for any superhero fan!
Ahhh... Marion Cotillard's death still gets me.
Best performance Ever!
.
"The Dark Knight Rises" is a 2012 film directed by Christopher Nolan. This film is the last part of Nolan's "Batman" trilogy and tells a continuing story.
One of the main strengths of "The Dark Knight Rises" is Nolan's direction. He has been able to portray the dark and tense world of Batman with his cinematic style. With its darkness and surprising reality, the film raises important social issues and depicts some patterns of strength and resistance.
In addition to the superior direction, the strong acting of Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway and Anne Hathaway is also one of the strong points of this film. Each of the actors was able to display their verbal, complex and exceptional characters from the "Batman" series and bring these characters to life with strong and admirable performances.
In "The Dark Knight Rises", themes such as the conflict between good and evil, the battle of reason and power, grief and revenge, and social change are discussed. The film deals with a high sensitivity of the psychological aspects of the characters and a general look at the destructive forces in the society.
But "The Dark Knight Rises" also has some weaknesses. Some viewers may find some aspects of the story development a bit complicated and may not understand. Also, the long duration of the film and the lack of proper distribution of action and controversy during the film can bore some viewers.
Finally, "The Dark Knight Rises" is one of the big and powerful movies in the "Batman" series. With superior direction, strong acting and a dark, complex and philosophical story, this film brings to the audience a memorable experience of Batman's revenge and challenges. If you like dark, revenge and deep movies, "The Dark Knight Rises" will be the perfect choice for you. I hope this review was useful for you! <|endofstatement|>
This movie was the epitome of lazy, self-indulgent garbage. The only reason I gave this a five out of 10 was the A-list cast. Other than that, a two-hour and forty-five minute film felt like four hours. It was interminable. It was a film about finance and clean energy, not a superhero film. And Bane was the worst super-villain of all-time. Tom Hardy was nothing more than a man in a mask, and unlike Batman, he really wasn't a very interesting character. He also sounded like a 19th-century, English servant w/ that accent he used. I don't know if this was his choice or the way the character was written, but either way, it just didn't fit the film.
I realize that Heath Ledger's death had a tremendous effect on this third film, but if this was the best they could come up w/, it shouldn't have been made at all. The plot was less than ideal, and it had numerous holes. Overall, this film was a huge disappointment.
The concluding effort of Nolan’s Batman trilogy moves back to the pulpier sensibilities found in Batman Begins. Visually it’s easily the best of the trilogy (the IMAX photography is still pretty spectacular), I also really love its score. Once again, it has to be reiterated that the acting and dialogue are leagues above what’s usually found in big movies, and with this film I was really impressed by Bale, Hardy, Caine and Hathaway in particular. In terms of story, this film dives into the idea of Batman as an everlasting symbol, and the end result strikes the right balance of spectacle and drama. It’s not as intellectually challenging as The Dark Knight, but that’s alright because this isn’t trying to be another Michael Mann-esque crime drama. Instead, this film presents itself more as a straightforward epic with higher stakes than Batman Begins or The Dark Knight, which it successfully achieves by letting its villain win halfway through the story. There are so many sequences that are masterfully executed, whether it’s Catwoman’s introduction, the fallout of Bruce and Alfred, the finale, the rise from the pit or the excellent plane heist; it’s some of my favourite stuff from the trilogy. However, this movie also started the trend of Nolan becoming sloppier and sloppier as a screenwriter. For example, how does Bruce get back to Gotham from the pit when it’s literally a plot point that he’s lost all of his money? Why do they send the entire police squad to go after Bane? Why does Ben Mendelsohn spell out so awkwardly what the Clean Slate is? It’s mostly small stuff, but it adds up. Moreover, I think it could’ve done without the Tate character. She’s underwritten during the first two acts, the performance isn’t great, and the twist they pull with her during the third act I found to be unnecessary and underwhelming. All in all, it’s probably the worst of the trilogy, but still a pretty good film that despite its blockbuster trappings never loses sight of the main emotional arc. It might be a little far removed from the current zeitgeist of corporate, fluffy, bright blockbusters, but its craft has aged well enough where I expect some of its naysayers to rediscover it at some point in the future.
7.5/10
I really don't have much to say about this work. Literally, I see the name of the director and I already know I'm going to like it.
I'm reviewing the Batman trilogy and decided to start with its last element. I know that this trilogy is extremely respected by most movie buffs, and I am obviously part of that majority. I know that everyone hails the second film as the best, but if that is the best, then this one is not too far off. The trilogy is truly 5 stars.
P.S. - This movie started out being my favorite movie when I was a kid. Good times.
The Dark Knight Rises is an excellent addition to the already outstanding Dark Knight series. The film offers an intense storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Christian Bale as Batman, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, and Tom Hardy as Bane delivered their roles with perfection. Hardy's portrayal of the Bane is nothing short of exceptional, providing a commanding presence and physicality that add a menacing tone to the film, making him one of the best villains in the series. Nolan's direction is once again spot on, as he skillfully creates a world that keeps you engaged the whole time. Overall, a must-watch for fans of the franchise.
This poster... it's already making my legs weak. This legendary soundtrack, casting and characters are simply Oh My God. Maybe the pacing is a bit slow and the movie confusing, but I don't care. It's just beautiful. I love Bale. I love Nolan. I Love The Dark Knight Rises
From the beginning of the movie, we see how stupid the rest is going to be. The entire sequence with Bane and the airplane is just stupid. Even after 10 years, this movie, and the trilogy at large, is mostly rubbish.
It really is too bad that such a phenomenal cast is wasted by the writers and director. There are some really great scenes. And there are some really horrible ones (like pretty much every scene with Bane in it).
The entire origin story for Bane is dumb. The mask and strength. And the tie-in with Miranda Tate as her protector when she was a child... so convenient.
Between the overly contrived point that Miranda is Ra's al Ghul's daughter, to the fact that a child can make a leap that a grown man can't despite being half the height and less muscular. So dumb.
And the fact that Wayne looks at the scars on Miranda's back and doesn't think anything of it, even though she effectively bought her was into his good graces to gain control of the company. Wow...
Also, if flooding the reactor was supposed to shut it down? Why not dump the core in the water instead of flying it away at a fairly slow speed? Oh, that's right, because flooding the reactor wouldn't really shut it down unless it was already off...a much simpler, and less expensive, fail-safe could have been used than an enormous flood chamber.
And speaking of speed, there were 90 seconds to fly 6 miles out over the water. At least 30 of that is spent putzing around flying between buildings instead of up and over them. That leaves 60 seconds to fly 6 miles. Not at the speed, that thing flies, which looks like it is barely 60 mph. That is a bit short of the required 360 mph speed needed to cover the distance. Kinda funny since those S.A.M.s were barely able to keep up even though the average S.A.M. speed is several thousand mph...
This movie is about 2 hours too long.
Enthralling, thoroughly entertaining film, with well-crafted story and amazing performances. Perfect ending to the trilogy.
There are not many excellent trilogies around. The original Star Wars trilogy is one. The Lord of the Rings is another. I would also count the Godfather movies as one of these. Maybe even the Back to the Future trilogy if you are feeling generous.
Nolan's Batman trilogy rates near the very top for me.
The Dark Knight Rises, as the third installment, ends up between the other two when it comes to enjoyment, but that's only because of Ledgers magnificent Joker in the second one. Bale has been an exceptional Batman throughout the trilogy, and in my book, delivers his best in this one. The story is arguably the darkest of the three, but also the best in my opinion. It delivers both in excitement and closure...and even new beginnings.
The Dark Knight Rises can certainly be enjoyed by itself, but as most trilogies, it's at its very best when enjoyed together with the other two.
There's not much else to say really...
The Dark Knight Trilogy
Batman Begins (2005). https://trakt.tv/movies/batman-begins-2005
The Dark Knight (2008). https://trakt.tv/movies/the-dark-knight-2008
The Dark Knight Rises (2012). https://trakt.tv/movies/the-dark-knight-rises-2012
Not always pulling up the threads from the first part gives good results. It turned out even better here. ps. but was it not possible to simply climb the rope to get out of the well? ;)
"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."
The Dark Knight Rises is still as epic as the first time I've watched it. It has been a good 9 years and time to watch this one again. The action still holds up, the story feels as big as ever, Bane (Tom Hardy) is a great villain, enjoyed Anna Hathaway as Catwoman, wished I saw Joseph Gordon-Levitt in his Robin costume, still painful to see Alfred (Michael Caine) cry and Talia Al Ghul (Marion Cotillard) twist is still great.
Everyone brings there A-Game, still love the football pitch disappearing, love it as an ending of trilogy (only thing to bring this back is the Dark Knight Returns storyline with Bale as a very old Batman), Christoper Nolan really did an amazing job and it's up there with my favorite trilogies.
Even though it's a long sit it never fails to bore you, so many things happen and they're all connected. And oh before I forget the Hans Zimmer score is still epic.
Yes, this was a lovely pick for today.
"This is a stock exchange. There's no money here to steal." "Really? Then why are you people here?"
I wouldn't say this is a cheap, poorly lit cardboard cutout copy of The Dark Knight, I'd say it's a cheap poorly lit cardboard cutout copy of every old superhero movie.
There's the grime I was looking for in a Batman movie.
An excellent conclusion to a great trilogy.
An absolute brilliant movie and an epic conclusion to Christopher Nolan‘s Batman trilogy. A stellar cast, breathtaking visuals and a good story makes this movie a must-see for everyone.
This is a really good superhero/action movie but one of my main complaints is that it's just too long. I feel like parts of it were dragged on too long and also there were a lot of famous faces that I felt overall didn't contribute anything other than getting the film a bit more publicity. Having said that it was nice to see faces such as Anne Hathaway on my screen. Overall this is a great movie
Not as good as the dark knight story wise - but still great film
Thank you Christopher Nolan for this Legendary Trilogy :heart:
Loved the choice of the whole characters :heart_eyes:
Christian Bale nailed Batman
"You're a big guy-"
"For you."
BANEPOSTING 5 YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG, GUYS
A recent rewatch for me, and one which hasn't aged as gracefully as its predecessors. I loved it on my initial viewing back on opening day, but removed from the initial "wow" factor, its plot holes really start to catch the light.
Anne Hathaway was an inspired choice as Catwoman, but the character doesn't really seem important or even necessary... just fluff and padding for a nigh-three-hour flick that already had enough going on. After thriving under the spotlight for the first two acts, Bane's sudden dismissal and the associated bait-and-switch doesn't sit particularly well with me either.
Not to sound all doom and gloom, because it's still a perfectly enjoyable film and a decent enough way to wrap up the trilogy, but it does feel quite scattered and I think a lot of what I enjoyed was just leftover fumes from BB and TDK.
Tom Hardy makes this film borderline unwatchable.
With The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan concludes his revolutionary Batman trilogy. In this final chapter Batman must come out of hiding when a rogue mercenary named Bane threatens to destroy Gotham. Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Anne Hathaway join the cast and deliver strong performances…except for Hardy’s ADR voice work. Unfortunately, the digitally altered voice for Bane is especially distracting and feels disconnected from Hardy’s performance. Additionally, the script has some significant problems and gets a bit bizarre. Yet the film still delivers of a lot of exciting action and intense drama. The Dark Knight Rises capstones this groundbreaking series that redefined one of the most iconic superheroes.
Maybe, had I not watch Dark Knight and -Rises back to back, I would have seen it differently. Dark Knight was a tough act to follow and I don't think -Rises did deliver on all accounts. Don't get me wrong, it is not an awful movie by any means, but it didn't engage me the way the first two did.
Why ?
Batman Begins was about characters. The Dark Knight was about characters. This feels just like another blockbuster. It feels more like your average Marvel movie. And by that I mean making the explosions bigger doesn't automatically translates in a better movie.
The plot didn't work for me at all. The whole, was it 3-5 month, span somehow felt not right. And the scale was too big, again much more reminiscent of Marvel. The first two felt more grounded but with equal stakes.
I was dissapointed by Bane. That might again by due to the fact that Dark Knight and Ledgers Joker was fresh in my mind. Bane, albeit everyhing he is capable off, did not feel intimidating. The fights between him and Batman were dissapointing, I was expecting a bit more.
Anne Hathaway was a nice touch but that's just it - she was just a touch. For a 165 min movie it left a lot on the surface.
As mentioned this is a very personal way to look at the movie. In general I really like Chris Nolans work and this is no different. His way to approch a scene and than film it is was is missing in a lot of modern movies. A lot of times I was sure he did CGI and I was stunned how much he actually did for real.
As a whole the trilogy is an amazing piece of work with the middle being the pinnacle. That's why I gave this a rather low rating to reflect where this part ranks in the trilogy for me.
I like this movie just fine...that said....it is THE LONGEST MOVIE EVER MADE.
I'd watched this movie so many times , it never felt old. The whole trilogy was awesome.The end always gives me the chills.I wish they'd continued this into a Nightwing story.
I really like the Banes's role and acting..
Do you feel in charge?
Stunning conclusion to an epic trilogy.
The Dark Knight trilogy really reminds me of the original Star Wars trilogy in terms of quality. The first of the series is fantastic and new and gets you so pumped up for the franchise. Then the second one (Empire Strikes Back) comes out and blows up with awesomeness. That one is a great film by any standard even outside the genre. Then the third one (Return of the Jedi) comes along and cannot live up to the fantastic film before it. But it still is a good, satisfying conclusion to the story.
I have a bunch of specific plot points in this one that bother me, but I still enjoy watching it nonetheless. There are some amazing action scenes that are worth it no matter what. Also, "That's a lovely, lovely voice." makes me laugh so hard every time.
you have to change some fact to make it seem better.
Epic movie, everyone should watch
Brilliant ending of a brilliant trilogy! While Bane is not a villain as brilliant as the Joker was in "The Dark Knight", the plot is still very thrilling, entertaining and packs a lot of action into the 150 minutes of run-time. The special effects are top notch (as with the other two parts of the trilogy) and the whole Good vs Evil themes does not get boring at all. Besides the Lord of the Rings and the Harry Potter series this is definitely one of my all-time favorites!
The Batman-Bane fights are priceless!! Christian Bale rules!!!
La película ha estado entretenida, y en algunos momentos interesante, pero la baja calidad de los enfrentamientos y sobre todo lo absurdo de los diferentes ataques que se suceden hace que pierda muchos enteros, por lo visto no han pensado mucho en las estrategias a la hora del combate, por no mencionar que después de tres meses encerrados los policías salgan todos como nuevos al escapar. Tiene muchos puntos absurdos.
Bane sounded like an old British fool trying to recite some Shakespeare to a crowd who only wanted to make a ruckus.
Ending was great though.
Cinema Paco. Image 4,5/5, sonido 5/5. Liked me more than when I saw it in the cinema. 3 in the saga are very good
Amazingly well-done, on all fronts. Read for more:

CHRISTIAN BALE + ANNE HATHEWAY + JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT + MORGAN FREEMAN + MICHAEL CAINE! NEED I SAY MORE?!
The end definitely worth the wait! And there was a lot of waiting, because they dragged to the limit. Catwoman and Robin - LOVE.
