While The Dark Knight Rises certainly deserves a very long gushing review on this blog, due to the huge number of reviews and analyses already in print, my comments are going to be short and sweet. Bullet pointed, in fact:
- At 164 minutes it’s very long, but clips along at great pace and kept me hooked throughout. I didn't care that I needed the loo way before the credits rolled.
- While the film is obviously lacking Heath Ledger’s Joker, my respect for Tom Hardy as a superb actor continues to grow. His dedication to physical alteration in pursuit of playing scene stealing characters is only matched by Christian Bale.
- Cat Woman fits the story well, and Anne Hathaway is great in the role.
- The film deserves multiple viewings.
- Christopher Nolan deserves all the praise he’s received from the media. Roll on more Nolan films.
- SPOILER(ish) - They could have been a little bit more subtle with one character’s reveal at the very end of the film.
9/10 - As a standalone film
10/10 - For the trilogy overall
