Pros: Great acting, fantastic direction
Cons: Very dark, and umm...where is Batman?
Summary: I was re-watching The Dark Knight Rises last night, trying to get a feel for what it was that I didn't love about the film when I initially saw it. I mean, I loved Batman Begins, and I was a big fan of The Dark Knight, even with some ... read more

Pros: Anne Hathaway is hot, Acting
Cons: Weak action scenes, Boring, Lack of Humor/Memorable Lines
Summary: I'm seriously shaking my head, after watching the over-hyped and too long The Dark Knight Rises. There are not enough times to count, that I thought, "Is this movie over?" This is not the worst movie ever made, but is a stinker compared to ... read more

Pros: Must-see for fans of the Batman trilogy. This one adds closure, but not finality.
Cons: Conservatives - this is an allegory to the 1%. You might be non-plussed by it.
Summary: Once in a while, a movie comes along that actually makes you think. Once in a while, that movie is a mainstream action adventure like “The Dark Knight Rises”. Credit Christopher Nolan with creating not only a ... read more

Pros: The Catwoman, her style and fighting skill. Fast paced.
Cons: Film was a bit too long; the cops running into a bunch of AK 47.

Pros: Supporting cast, plot pushes the genre's envelope
Cons: Excessive reliance on viewer's knowledge of the first film

Pros: Some memorable scenes
Cons: Oh wow... yet another expected Plot Twist. Thanks Chris!!!

Cons: A bit too long, mildly confusing ending, campy scripting in a few scenes.
Summary: I have never been a fan of the Batman genre action movies. However, The Dark Knight Rises might just change my mind. My date really enjoyed it, as I did, and the other patrons were riveted to the action. There was none of the usual rustling of candy ... read more

Pros: Cast and Story; film does a great job of building its story
Cons: The movie left me empty, wanting more

Pros: Kept me engaged, good pace.
Cons: Safe, doesn't push the limits the way The Dark Knight did.
Summary: Well, I didn't think that it was possible. Christopher Nolan IS human after all. His follow up to the sensational The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, is essentially a muted by the numbers popcorn flick that seems unwilling or unable to up the ... read more
