Good enough, but not as great as it could have been.

I thought this was a good movie, and I would recommend it to everyone who is a fan of Nolan's Batman saga.
Unfortunately, for me, this was not as exciting as the first two movies. Some say there wasn't a lot of Batman in the movie. I agree but I am OK with this. What I am not OK with is the fact that when you do see Batman, there just isn't anymore cool 'Bat-gadgets' or memorable Batman action sequences, pretty boring and flat. As for the flying machine called 'The Bat', that was a slick piece of creative thinking, but just wasn't doing as much for me as 'The Tumbler' or 'Bat Pod' did when they were introduced.
All the actors did excellent work as their respective characters, definitely worth watching each one. I do think there were too many people and too many dialogues to juggle in this movie, but the Blake character does stand out the most, and JLG did an excellent job as Blake. As for Bane, I like this interpretation of the character, but the silly voice really should have been re-thought. Cat woman was great, but I really hated the fact that she just jumps on the Bat Pod and is driving it around the city like she has been doing it for years, sorry I don't buy that.
As for the grand scope of the movie, it was what I was expecting, but it did not feel very tightly scripted, the '5 month' period felt rushed and not as flushed out as it could have been, especially because there was quite a bit of jumping around. This, to me, made the movie feel a bit thin and was not helped by the particular last few minutes of the very end of the movie (I won't say anything about it as to not spoil it for anyone). All this said, it did not break the movie for me, I was very happy to see it.
To sum up, definitely worth seeing, the trilogy was amazing. When I saw The Dark Knight I could not wait to go and see it again, two more times in the theaters, and I did. Unfortunately, I won't waste anymore money on seeing this one in the theaters, but will get the Blu-Ray. Rises was just not the strongest one in the series, sorry to say.
Pros great story, great actors, good ending
Cons too broad, rushed
Yes, I recommend this movie.
