Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

fredroyer The Dark Knight was as close to perfect as a comic book - crime epic flick could get. Starting with Batman Begins, Nolamn & team made the right decision to base this version of Batman with plausability.All that hard work in the first 2 movies was thrown out the window. I will give the writers credit for trying to get the script right. The pre production process was very lengthy. Here's what I admired: The convergence of story, image and music and exactly the right point in the filmThe love story that happens off screen (mirrored by Bane & Talia)The plot device utlizing AlfredWayne getting double crossed that was simple and not needlessly complexBanes minimal costumeNolan understanding less is moreHere's what made me groan: Robin's unneccessary backstory, complete with the Irish priest at the orphanageBane's raid at the stock exchange using Wayne's fingerprint (the whole world knew that Bane was there, any trading would not have been authorized)Which leads to Wayne losing all his money, being removed from the Board of his company, and handing it over to Talia - too contrived because the end game was the fusion reactor.What really broke the camels back was Banes plan to use the Wayne industry prototypes in the basement for his takeover of Gotham. Anyone who has been around the military knows you would not go into combat with a prototype unit. They cost insane amounts of money to make, break down easily and there are no spare parts. You need a production model with spare parts to go into combat.Half the movie smacks of laziness.

shalabodov-32997 Coming off of the success of The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight rises boasts an incredible conclusion to Bale's Batman, with visuals and plot as good as its villain. Hardy was terrific as Bane, a menacing presence not to be messed with. Once again Bale and Caine nailed it as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Alfred, giving career defining performances. The story does take a few curvy turns, however, placing at least 2 plot twists into the film, which didn't necessarily work for me, but that's the only issue to be had with this movie. Breathtaking action sequences, amazing score by Hans Zimmer. A "must see" if you're a Batman fan or a fan of comic books in general.

JokerMichel So we can learn to pick ourselves upThat's exactly what the movie is portraying First I have to say that The Dark Knight is my all time favorite movie The Dark Knight Rises is not comparable to it's precedor but it's still a great movie Everyone is talking about plot holes in the movie which in my opinion aren't plot holes and can be explained Im not saying the movie is flawless but you must give it a shot

Minahzur Rahman 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.
