The grand finale to the greatest superhero series

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2015)

The themes, place in the trilogy as the finale, the villain, and the plot lines of "The Dark Knight Rises" are all great and flawless. Especially how the movie makers did Bane.
In arch-conflict and imagery, it is the literal counterpart or reflection of Batman Begins.
I only give it a seven, rather than a 9 or 10, because of the flimsy action sequences here and there (Which were not a flaw in Dark Knight or Batman Begins), and the odd persona that Batman has against Bane when they first face off. It doesn't as a final package live quite up to the mastery in The Dark Knight, but it nonetheless a must-see.
The entire trilogy is an interweaving masterpiece of three movies, in a way no other action series is - this film, being the third, and thus climax, of the whole Nolan-Batman plot, is what fully proves (in retrospect on the previous movies) that Christopher Nolan is a clever director in a way that no other director is.
