Dark Knight Rises was a delight. I admittedly enjoyed the second film a bit more, largely because of Heath Ledger's fantastic performance, but this one was certainly "bigger" in both scope and effects.
This last movie didn't present the sort of palpable philosophical issues as the prior film either. Much more subtle moral questions were dealt with. The second film was so engrossing because of the way the Joker's extreme rejection of ethical codes was epically contrasted by the rigid ethical code of Batman.
Rises deals more with living with the consequences and sacrifices of choosing an ethical code without compromise. How choosing to do what is right can cost you everything, from loved ones, to fortunes, to even you freedom. It was dealt with well. As Bruce Wayne continued to recommit to his personal code after retiring from the world of vigilantism, that world began to collapse around him.
I think most people that choose to live their philosophy can appreciate this aspect of the story. For others not as interested, the action, technology, cinematography, and acting was just as well done in this as in others. And yes, Anne Hathaway was a fantastic Cat Woman.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, multi-layered, cerebral
Yes, I recommend this movie.
