The movie is a dark, epic, and emotional ending to this exceptional film trilogy.

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2012)

The Dark Knight Rises is the end of director Christopher Nolan's grand trilogy that began with Bruce Wayne's journey into darkness as he learned the difference between fighting for vengeance and fighting for justice. He took down the city's biggest crime lord while simultaneously raising the bar for what it takes to commit crime in Gotham. The Dark Knight brought Wayne's character to the next level as he faced off with the Joker, a man who really didn't want anything but Gotham's corruption and destruction. Batman had to look inward and see how far he would have to go to stop monsters like the Joker. The end of The Dark Knight left our hero broken as he had to make some painful compromises that would cost the city and all the characters involved to see that the Joker's reign of terror was not successful. In many ways The Dark Knight Rises presents the end of Bruce Wayne's journey as Batman as he finally comes to understand exactly what it will take to save to dark and corrupt city of Gotham. Is this the conclusion fans have been waiting for, or does this film destined to live in the shadow of its outstanding predecessors?
