Audience Reviews for The Dark Knight Rises

  • Jul 21, 2016
    A 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.

    Good 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.

    While 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.

    Christopher 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.
