Batman 3: The Dark Knight Rises Movie Review
Ratings:Brilliant Reviewer:Renuka Vyavahare  Site:Times of India
The Dark Knight Rises is a breathtaking finale to Nolan's Batman series. Every bit the 'epic conclusion' one expected it to be.The wait which seemed unbearably long is finally over. We are pleased to announce 'The film lives up to the hype'. 'Is 'The Dark Knight Rises' better than (2008) 'The Dark Knight'? No, it isn't, but that does not lessen its brilliance. TDKR works superbly as a concluding film while Dark Knight worked fabulously as one of the best chapter's of Batman's lifeThe film works more as an emotional-action adventure.TDKR is everything you want it to be. Book your IMAX tickets in advance for this one's going to be sold out for weeks!

Ratings:3.5/5 Reviewer:Manhola Dargis  Site:New York Times
After seven years and two films that have pushed Batman ever deeper into the dark, the director Christopher Nolan has completed his postmodern, post-Sept. 11 epic of ambivalent good versus multidimensional evil with a burst of light. As the title promises, day breaks in “The Dark Knight Rises,” the grave and satisfying finish to Mr. Nolan’s operatic bat-trilogy. He also, it may be a relief to know, wants to entertain you. He does, for the most part effortlessly, in a Dark Knight saga that is at once lighter and darker than its antecedents. It’s also believable and preposterous, effective as a closing chapter and somewhat of a letdown if only because Mr. Nolan, who continues to refine his cinematic technique, hasn’t surmounted “The Dark Knight” or coaxed forth another performance as mesmerizingly vital as Heath Ledger’s Joker in that film.

The Dark Knight Rises" is notable for many things—thrilling chases, supercool vehicles, majestic vistas, an epic scale that hasn't been achieved since "The Lord of the Rings," a redemptive climax that brings an end, more or less, to a complex saga.The most stunning thing about the film, though—and this is said not by way of praise, but with anxious wonderment—is how depressing and truly doomy most of it is. Batman, played by a marvelous actor with a singular gift for depicting pain, suffers mortally.

Ratings:5/5 Reviewer:Richard Corliss Site:Time
The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR), Christopher Nolan’s mesmerizing climax to his trilogy reboot of the DC Comics character, is a show, all right. But not in the way of the standard summer action fantasy. Although his movie contains elaborate fights, stunts, chases and war toys, and though the director dresses half his characters in outfits suitable for a Comic-Con revel, Nolan is a dead-serious artist with a worldview many shades darker than the knight of the title.The movie may not top The Avengers at the worldwide box office, but it is a far, far better thing — maybe the best, most troubling, assured and enthralling of all the superhero movies.

Ratings:4.5/5 Reviewer:Justin Chang Site:Variety
Few blockbusters have borne so heavy a burden of audience expectation as Christopher Nolan's final Batman caper, and the filmmaker steps up to the occasion with a cataclysmic vision of Gotham City under siege in "The Dark Knight Rises." Running an exhilarating, exhausting 164 minutes, Nolan's trilogy-capping epic sends Batman to a literal pit of despair, restoring him to the core of a legend that questions, and powerfully affirms, the need for heroism in a fallen world. If it never quite matches the brilliance of 2008's "The Dark Knight," this hugely ambitious action-drama nonetheless retains the moral urgency and serious-minded pulp instincts that have made the Warners franchise a beacon of integrity in an increasingly comicbook-driven Hollywood universe. Global B.O. domination awaits.

Ratings:4/5 Reviewer:Xan Brooks  Site:Guardian
No such worries for the film itself. The Dark Knight Rises may be a hammy, portentous affair but Nolan directs it with aplomb. He takes these cod-heroic, costumed elements and whisks them into a tale of heavy-metal fury, full of pain and toil, surging uphill, across the flyovers, in search of a climax. "I'm still a believer in the Batman," murmurs Joseph Gordon-Levitt's rookie cop at one point. Arm-twisted, senses reeling, I am forced to concede that I am too.
Verdict: Christian Bale's tormented Batman duly rises for Christopher Nolan's bruising saga of revolution and redemption
