The writing is horrible and the pace is agonizingly draining.

The Dark knight rises ends what can be considered one of the greatest trilogies in all cinema. On its own this is a great, long film containing some amazing action set pieces- especially vehicles but the fact remains that there are many underlying themes about human nature and mortality at play here. Christian Bale dons the batsuit one last time for Nolan but it is Tom Hardy as Bane who steals the show with his raw energy. On its own this is a must watch but when seen as a piece of a trilogy this is not to be missed. (Concludes one of the greatest series in all of cinema)

So we can learn to pick ourselves upThat's exactly what the movie is portraying
First I have to say that The Dark Knight is my all time favorite movie
The Dark Knight Rises is not comparable to it's precedor but it's still a great movie
Everyone is talking about plot holes in the movie which in my opinion aren't plot holes and can be explained
Im not saying the movie is flawless but you must give it a shot

Evil is about to arrive in Gotham City, Bane's physical abilities exceed those of an old Batman and will soon let him know, and its inhabitants, that peace is never eternal. That soon the ashes of destruction will cover everything that was once peace.Christopher Nolan concludes his trilogy of the bat man, with a chapter that in its 2 hours 45 minutes slow cooks and takes its pauses in preparation for its climactic outcome.Filmed entirely in cinema, not digital, its 75 minutes of IMAX format are worth every penny, proving that you do not need a 3D to feel the immersion within the story.The presentation of the new characters is detailed and according to their own personality, so while with Bane we see a monumental scene that includes a plane and a monstrous plane, with Selina Kyle we are before a stealthy character who easily deceives his enemies without they realize this.In the same way that Christopher Nolan made Batman a real hero, one that could coexist in our days without much fantasy around, The Knight of the Night ascends can not feel closer to our current times. A moment where society is divided by classes and the repression of some becomes the opportunity of others.However, the inspiration does not come from Anonymous or Occupy Wall Street -although many probably want to find a relationship and even match it-, rather it is inspired by the pen of Charles Dickens and his History of Two Cities (1859). And as with his English compatriot, Nolan finds more wealth in the vision of the oppressed, than in the privileged.And this is where Bruce Wayne plays the most important role: Nolan takes it to the ultimate consequences, one way or another he oppresses it and makes it part of a sector alien to its ideals. Thus, it makes her understand that to re-emerge as the nocturnal vigilante that Gothic had lost, she must return to her roots, face her fears.On the other hand, the old acquaintances within the franchise provide performances with
worthy and well delineated papers. Here Michael Caine stands out with
a very emotional interpretation, while Gary Oldman shows a fragility that we had not seen in his character.Much was said about the participation of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (the name of Catwoman is never mentioned), and the actress managed to develop a mystery-laden character who uses her sensuality only when it is due, but above all maintains a chemistry with Christian Bale which is perceptible at all times. Otherwise it turns out Marion Cotillard, that although it does not fail in its role of the lady
in danger, it becomes the forced love interest of Bruce Wayne. Likewise, he stars in a key scene that lacks credibility, I will not say more, but when they reach the sequence they will know it.As for the antagonist Bane, in charge of Tom Hardy, it is established that he is the
enemy that was missing in the gear of this trilogy. The brute force of the nemesis, in front of the passage of time of Batman, they give like result an epic duel when they face. However, the story leaves us with the feeling of wanting to see more of the actor and his character.The visual execution within his third act is, without a doubt, one of the most
spectacular in the filmography of the bat man and Christopher Nolan himself, who thus delivers an outcome more than worthy and necessary for the night watchman.We are facing the closing of a trilogy that, with its small details, maintained its
quality from the first Batman box starts. This is a work that remained sober, without refusing to be also a solid show that respected both comic fans and the average viewer.In this last chapter, Christopher Nolan leads to the very doors of the
hell to Bruce Wayne, torments him with his past, with his decisions, with his
losses. In the end it all comes down to a simple question and answer: "Why
we fall? To learn to get up, "and when that moment happens, the
Gotham City will witness the rise of its night watchman, the hero who
they have always needed, from their Knight of the Night.
