The Sacrifice Gotham needed. The Dark Knight Rises sends off Christian Bale's Batman in an amazing way that ends the trilogy in a great way.

A disappointing follow up to "The Dark Knight," "Rises" fails solely because of its unmistakable plot holes.

To me, this is Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal skull all over again. A HUGE disappointment that certainly doesn't come close to its predecessors. By far the worst Nolan Film. Just awful in almost every way. The curse of the number three lives. Most people call TDKR bland and uninspired. Truly a disappointing finish to a trilogy.

Eight years after the fall of The Joker and Harvey Dent, Gotham City is quiet, peaceful - but all that is about to change. Bane has arrived and plans a campaign of terror that will push the city to its limit. Batman will once again take the mantle of hero in order to save his city. This is so far one of the best movie of 2012.the score is good and the directing is well done.

Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy has been well known as the best comic book adaption, and one of some of the best movies period. The Dark Knight Rises is a fitting end to the series as Bruce Wayne must come out of retirement and don the Batman suit once more after taking the fall for Harvey Dent's actions in order to stop the mercenary Bane from destroying Gotham. Anne Hathaway takes on the role of Catwoman, and I think she nails her fluid style and sly attitude perfectly. And of course reprising their roles are once again Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman who all do their parts justice. In my opinion, this is a very satisfying end to Nolan's Batman and a must see for fans of the first two.

This film is truly a masterpiece. I loved the characters and I don't think anyone could have played Bruce Wayne/Batman as good as Christian Bale. There were different particular pairings that were good in their own way - the scenes with Bruce and Bane were intense and thrilling and the ones with Alfred and Bruce were beautiful. Despite Christian Bale being the main actor, it sometimes helped that he wasn't in all the good scenes. Everyone had their part and it felt like such an experience having that amazing power play. Give the characters a challenge and you give the audience a challenge, too.

It's probably not as good as the second one, but probably still better than the first one. And I thought the first one was amazing! All the actors involved did a very good job, including (to some people's surprise) Anne Hathaway.
