- Edward SchofieldMay 11, 2025Rushed but still great, that cave sequence will always be iconic.
- Manuel FrangisApril 13, 2025I just watched The Dark Knight Rises, and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This is the perfect ending to one of the best trilogies ever made. It is massive, emotional, intense, and full of moments that make you sit back and just take it all in. Christopher Nolan somehow found a way to tie everything together and still take things to a whole new level. It is not just a sequel. It is a real conclusion, and it hits with serious weight. This version of Gotham feels even darker and more desperate than before. The city is falling apart, and Batman has not been seen in years. Bruce Wayne is broken, hiding from the world, and carrying the pain of everything that happened before. Christian Bale once again delivers a performance that goes beyond the suit. He shows the struggle, the guilt, and the fear. You can feel how tired he is, but also how much he still wants to do what is right. His journey in this movie is powerful and personal. Then there is Bane. Tom Hardy is terrifying in this role. He is calm, calculated, and unbelievably intimidating. Every time he is on screen, you feel the danger. He is not just a strong villain. He is smart, strategic, and completely in control. His voice, his presence, and the way he carries himself make him one of the most memorable villains in any superhero movie. You never really feel safe when he is around, and that tension makes the story even stronger. The supporting cast is incredible too. Anne Hathaway brings something new to the story as Selina Kyle. She is sharp, clever, and way more complex than you expect. Joseph Gordon-Levitt also adds a lot as a young cop trying to do the right thing when the system is falling apart. And of course, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman all bring their usual heart and strength to their roles. Every character matters. Every scene pushes things forward. The scale of this movie is huge. The stakes feel massive, and the action scenes are some of the best in the trilogy. Nolan knows how to shoot chaos without losing control. From the citywide battles to the hand to hand fights, everything is filmed with a sense of weight and reality. The practical effects and real locations make it all feel grounded. It is not just CGI explosions. It feels real. The soundtrack by Hans Zimmer once again delivers. The music builds tension, drives the action, and adds so much emotion. That main theme rises and falls throughout the movie, and it makes even the quiet scenes feel important. Combined with the visuals, it turns the whole movie into a full experience. I give The Dark Knight Rises 5 out of 5 stars because it closes out the trilogy with power, emotion, and meaning. It is not just a superhero movie. It is about fear, sacrifice, and the idea of hope in the darkest times. Overall The Dark Knight Rises is a bold, emotional, and satisfying final chapter. It brings everything full circle and delivers a powerful story about rising when you have nothing left to give. I loved every minute of it, and it reminded me why this trilogy is still the gold standard.
- The Gutter MonkeyFebruary 7, 2025Another better-than-average (and overly-long) Batman film from Christopher Nolan. It's more of a spectacle than the previous entries and it's somehow even more all-over-the-place than the last entry, but it's a fun watch, Tom Hardy's Bane is a memorable villain, and it wraps up the trilogy pretty well. Just try not to overthink the logistics of certain elements of the plot and you should enjoy it.
- MamboNumber5January 15, 2025A fitting end
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 12, 2024The movie is great and all, but the tone of this one is so much more dark than the two movies that came before it, so much that it really caught me off guard. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, and sometimes movies are great just for how depressing they are, and this is effective here. I'm just saying for a Batman movie I didn't really expect it.
