8/10
A very good movie that, if it suffers, suffers only because the bar was set so high with The Dark Knight. But Nolan makes a very good show of it and TDK trilogy (if it stays at 3) is now confirmed as one of the previous few trilogies out there with no real weak links. The strong points are many - good story, great acting, beautiful locations, incredible CGI - but they're not as fun to talk about as the weak points so I'll go right to those. If there's one thing about Nolan's movies that annoys me, it's how disjointed they always seem - you always get the feeling a lot of explanatory stuff was left on the cutting room floor, or is in cold storage for the eventual "director's cut". There are so many questions unanswered and the plot is, like TDK, unnecessarily knotty. I also thought a Bane/Catwoman villain combo was a weak showing in comparison to Joker/Two-Face, but what can you do. Lastly for a final movie in a trilogy (even in a "comic book movie") I didn't get the emotional punch I thought I would get from the ending. All that aside, still a very good movie, but not without some flaws.
