"The film begins slowly with a murky plot and too many new characters, but builds to a sensational climax (...) It lacks the near-perfection of 'The Dark Knight', it needs more clarity and a better villain, but it's an honorable finale (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"  POS

"This last installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy makes everything in the rival Marvel universe look thoroughly silly and childish"

"Just let 'The Dark Knight Rises' propel you into Nolan's carefully wrought maze. You may have to fight yourself out. But a movie this potent and provocative is well worth the battle (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"

"'The Dark Knight Rises' allows no choice; it's immersive and assaultive to a degree that could only have been achieved by the conjunction of a quintessentially somber comic and a filmmaker with a complementary sensibility"  POS

"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"  POS

"What worked beautifully in 'The Dark Knight' seems overworked and almost ridiculously grim in 'The Dark Knight Rises'. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"  NEU
