    A strong final entry into the greatest superhero trilogy of all time.

    The Dark Knight Rises, directed by Christopher Nolan. Another one that received mixed feelings from fans. I for one, enjoyed it from start to finish but as usual I did have issues. Biggest one was that one of my favorite villains (Bane) turned out to be a lapdog for some chick who has a grudge against Batman and it's difficult for us (the audience) to understand why. That's what I didn't like about it, plus there were a handful of obvious plot holes but those are forgivable. The good things included more emotional weight as well as better action than the first two films. Batman vs Bane the first time was amazing, the second time was pretty good. The Dark Knight Rises overall was a strong conclusion to Nolan's legendary trilogy. I do still feel that it is inferior to both Batman Begins as well as The Dark Knight. It is the 2nd place third act in a CBM trilogy behind Iron Man 3 in my opinion. It was way better than X-Men Last Stand or Spider-Man 3. Another thing I must say is that this film carried a lot of emotional weight through out the film and it wasn't over done which was something I liked. As a whole it's a good movie and the best third entry in a superhero trilogy.

    Rating: 8.5/10

      Avengers, Spiderman, you're movies really were awesome, my god they were, but I'm sorry, even with your combined efforts, Marvel isn't going to win this summer. You guys could throw every movie you've made in the past 3 years at this thing and you still wouldn't have a prayer, that's how awesome this movie was.So... the movie itself... Wow. I'm honestly not sure where to start. The words to accurately describe this film may not have been invented yet. This film was so incredible that it is quite...

      It is hard to get too much into this movie without revealing too much about the plot, but this is essentially a wonderful compilation of story arcs from Knightfall and No Man's Land.  At times the movie plods along through some unconventional storylines and perhaps the average fan without as much exposure to the comics will find this lacking in energy, but the way in which this trilogy of films was wrapped up served to highlight the overall vision of the writer and director.  As with this cast f...
