The Dark Knight Rises not only celebrates a caped Übermensch but is itself, as a commercial enterprise, something beyond good and evil.

The Dark Knight Rises is the taut and satisfying finale to a beastly franchise that not only proposed new interpretations of a beloved tale, but it also re-engineered what we imagine a superhero movie to be.

Nolan somehow never loses control - this is an accomplished and tremendously confident filmmaker, both in the execution of his thrilling chases and action beats, and in his manipulation of the complicated, multi-faceted narrative.

Nolan has become hooked on the grandiose, at times even the biblical. For anyone who admired the witty playfulness of his early films, it's a dark night indeed.

I respected The Dark Knight Rises; I didn't quite love it.
August 1, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
As befits the saga's engagement with the economics of Gotham City, a great deal of topical material floats about here, insufficiently digested.

Audience Reviews for The Dark Knight Rises

Jul 21, 2016A very nice follow up to the Oscar winning "Dark Knight" "The Dark Knight Rises" dosnt disappoint. With more vehicles and some better acting by Bale this movie is mostly carried by its fantastic story and its crazy villain Bane. Once again Nolan outdoes himself in this beautiful crime thriller piece. The RT score is perfect where it is but id like to see it reach a 90% or higher.Tyler H Super Reviewer

Jun 20, 2016Good way to end the franchise. Leaving the story like they did gave the audience something to think about themselves as to where the story goes from there as they leave the theater. Script was the worst of the trilogy which isn't saying much as all of the films in this trilogy are good. Tom Hardy was excellent as Bane. Story starts off slower than expected before seeing Batman back into the fold but necessary seeing as they took cues from The Dark Knight Returns comic book series.Patrick W Super Reviewer

May 01, 2016While falling flat at some points, The Dark Knight Rises is a thought-provoking, thrilling action film that has some of the most beautiful IMAX film sequences ever captured. It concludes Nolan's ambitious tale with one of the best trilogy endings ever.Sean T Super Reviewer

Mar 26, 2016Christopher Nolan's epic trilogy concludes in glorious fashion and gives us a thought provoking and suitably satisfying conclusion to an epic saga. It's emotional, intense and has a great villain in Tom Hardy.Matthew M Super Reviewer
The Dark Knight Rises Quotes
Bane: | Your punishment must be more severe. |
Miranda Tate: | You see, it's the slow knife, the knife that takes it's time, the knife that waits years without forgetting, then slips quietly between the bones, that's the knife, that cuts deepest. |
Bane: | You think darkness is your ally. You've merely adapted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was a man and by then it was only blinding. |
Bane: | Do you feel in Charge? |
Daggett: | I paid you a small fortune. |
Bane: | And this gives you power over me? |
Daggett: | What is this? |
Bane: | Your money and infrastructure has been important, until now. |
Daggett: | What are you? |
Bane: | I'm Gotham's reckoning. Here to end the borrowed time you all have been living on. |
