It fulfilled as a trilogy final, but not as a saga stand out.

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2012)

This film is great, but not fantastic. I give it a 8, it has everything you are looking for in a Nolan film, but it also had some things that it shouldn't have.
My first main problem is the middle of the film is just drawn-out far too much. I realize this is dedicated to story development, but the story is pretty straight forward here and the story within the prison is easily known with deduction, without all this extra time. This wouldn't have been a issue really (as I loved the story) if it didn't feel like the ending was just thrown together, because they spent too much time mid movie.
Another small issue I had was with Anne Hathaway's lines, they had too many "supposed to be funny" one-liners, that just got old after time went on.
*Small Spoiler* I also extremely dislike when nuclear weapons are used in films. It distracts from the characters in the ending. Half the time during a fight scene, it will go back to the bomb and the timer and all you think about is the damned bomb rather than Batman beating Bane! It always has the corny ending where they make you think they hero will die, but you know that isn't the case.
*BIG Spoiler* Also, the ending is a complete disappointment in my opinion, mainly Bane being shot by Catwoman on the BatBike. Are you serious?! A complete disregard for Batman, he beats Bane and then it takes the turn of Talia coming into play and stabbing him. Bane should have died by Batman's hands; THEN Talia goes on about the story in the prison and how she's planned to enact her revenge. Also, the cheese-ball ending where Bruce and Selina are in Florence and Alfred sees them. I thought this was ridiculous and corny, something I do not expect from Nolan's master mind. The ending worked, but I feel it was done poorly, maybe perhaps due to the lull in the middle of the film?

Do I feel the film was great? Yes. Do I think it could have been better? Definitely. Was it the film I've had a perpetual boner for the last 4 years? Not even close.
The film is worth seeing, without any doubt. I will purchase the film also, so granted the negative aspect I felt the film had, I still enjoyed it, thoroughly!
