I'm in the admittedly small minority that thought Dark Knight Rises was Just unimaginative(its just all the same set pieces and ideas from the 1st 2 films just on bigger budget), stupid(even far a superhero film, so many giant plot holes), totally predictable and for the most part Ridiculous & Booooring.
p.s.
i did like the 1st 2 very much because they both brought something new and fresh to the genre, Rises is just a cash in on the success of the dark knight i believe, i don't believe for 1 second Nolan had originally intended to make a trilogy(and i also got the feeling that if heath ledger hadnt died then the 3rd film would have had the joker again and not Bloody little Fatty silly voice Bane).
