Vyavahare's
Review:
TDKR
is
driven
by
emotions
followed
by
action.
There
is
plenty
of
sleek
Batman
action
with
the
flying,
futuristic
Batmobile
etc,
but
what
engages
you
the
most
are
the
emotional
scenes.

Mihir
Fadnavis'
Review:
The
Dark
Knight
Rises
is
also
not
just
a
movie,
it's
a
moviemaking
miracle
and
a
buffet
of
eyeball
orgasms
-
one
that
contains
enough
visceral
thrills
and
proof
of
Chris
Nolan
rising
as
the
superhero
of
the
movie
industry

Raja
Sen's
Review:
The
Dark
Knight
Rises
flirts
with
potentially
fantastic
ideas,
but
shies
away
from
taking
them
to
the
next
level.
Despite
taking
himself
--
and
his
version
of
the
character
--
far,
far
too
gravely,
Christopher
Nolan
gives
us
a
sloppy
double-decked
hamburger
of
a
film,
with
too
much
meat
to
fit
one
burger
right,
but
a
treat
without
question
for
those
already
in
love
with
the
Batman.
A
meal,
then,
for
the
cinematic
99%.

Manohla
Dargis'
Review:
The
action
interludes
are
more
visually
coherent
than
in
his
previous
Batman
films
and,
as
in
Inception,
the
controlled
fragmentation
works
on
a
pleasurable,
purely
cinematic
level.
But
it
also
serves
Mr
Nolan's
larger
meaning
in
The
Dark
Knight
Rises
and
becomes
his
final
say
on
superheroes
and
their
uses
because,
as
Gotham
rages
and
all
seems
lost,
the
action
shifts
from
a
lone
figure
to
a
group,
and
hope
springs
not
from
one
but
many.

Rashid
Irani's
Review:
The
third
and
reportedly
final
part
in
Christopher
Nolan's
Batman
franchise
offers
what
one
has
come
to
expect
from
the
revamped
series:
A
full-on
pop-culture
spectacle,
awe-inspiring
set
pieces
and
loads
of
techno
razzle-dazzle.
Even
so,
we
are
ultimately
left
with
the
feeling
that
The
Dark
Knight
Rises
falls
short
of
its
potential.

Daniel
Pinto's
Review:
The
Dark
Knight
Rises
is
a
film
that
not
only
raises
the
Dark
Knight
but
also
the
stakes,
placing
everything
the
already-broken
hero
holds
dear
in
a
juggernaut
of
a
villain's
crosshairs.
Bleaker
and
bigger,
it
was
well
worth
the
wait.

Rajeev
Masand's
Review:
Although
the
film's
multiple
storylines
do
get
tangled
up
at
times,
and
despite
some
messy
plot
holes,
it's
unfair
not
to
credit
Nolan
with
once
again
giving
us
a
blockbuster
with
smarts.
The
Dark
Knight
Rises
is
a
satisfying,
accomplished
film
packed
with
little
twists
and
surprising
cameos.
It's
a
respectable
finale
to
a
much-loved
trilogy.

Vinayak
Chakravorty's
Review:
This
is
no
teenybopper
superhero
flick.
But,
apocalyptic
as
the
tone
is,
the
film
is
far
from
boring.
Spectacular
action
propped
by
the
right
dose
of
drama
keeps
coming
in,
and
a
runtime
of
164
minutes
a€”
huge
by
Hollywood
standards
a€”
doesn't
seem
too
long.
