[This] wrap-up wraps up few of the threads in the first two films, and that the climactic cliff-hangers are nothing special (as well as flabbily edited). Aug 3, 2013 | Full Review…

The story is dense, overlong, and studded with references that will make sense only to those intimate with Nolan's previous excursions into Batmanhood. Jul 30, 2012 | Full Review…

Nolan has turned a preposterous character back into a grave myth, the story of a tortured saviour, reluctantly giving his all. Jul 23, 2012 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

There was an opportunity here for Nolan to show us another way, to (again) stretch the boundaries of what is possible in a superhero film. Instead, alas, the latter half of The Dark Knight Rises retreats toward conventionality. Jul 20, 2012 | Full Review…

The biggest surprise may just be how satisfying Nolan has made his farewell to a Dark Knight trilogy that many fans will wish he'd extend to a 10-part series, at least. Jul 19, 2012 | Full Review…

Isn't quite the game changer of the previous film. But it is still a dark and exhilarating epic, grounded in reality with a precise vision and craftsmanship that make it more than just another comic book movie. Apr 10, 2019 | Full Review…
