Say what you want about the quality of the film, this might be the most decorated cast ever assembled in a comic book film in terms of individual accolades.

Christian Bale - Oscar winner
Michael Caine - Oscar winner
Gary Oldman - Oscar winner
Anne Hathaway - Oscar winner
Morgan Freeman - Oscar winner
Marion Cotillard - Oscar winner
Cillian Murphy - Oscar winner
Liam Neeson - Oscar nominee
Tom Hardy - Oscar nominee
Tom Conti - Oscar nominee

It also featured solid character actors in Brett Cullen, Ben Mendelsohn, Burn Gorman, Matthew Modine, Juno Temple, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and a young Glen Powell.

It holds up pretty well. Better than most trilogy finales.

Cast was great.

It has its moments, the climb out of hell was great imo.

It was just too much. First two did pretty well staying grounded. I usually turn this one off after Batman gets his arse beat.

I like it and it was hard to follow up The Dark Knight & Batman Begins, but it just didn’t flow well. There are too many plot holes and such that get glossed over in order to move the movie forward.

Still 100x better than the James Gunn DCU garbage.

I was pretty hard on it at the time but after a rewatch I still have my gripes but it’s better than I remember.

Mainly a lot of lazy things like the fight scenes and the Batcopter remaining undetected for 6 months, etc.

I rewatched the Nolan trilogy last year and my opinion of TDK went down, but my opinion of TDKR went up. Maybe I've seen TDK too many times but it had more issues than I had previously acknowledged. This was the first time I had seen it in 7 or 8 years.

I liked Tom Hardy's Bane, and his voice, way more than I did in the past as well

Begins is still my favorite movie of the 3

The wall street attack as the supposed way to make Bruce lose his money was idiotic. That was such a bad plot hole/point I was kinda out the rest of the movie. And it had quite a few more. That movie had terrible writing., which I didn't expect from Nolan as up to that point he had been stellar in all his films.

Batman Begins is still my favorite of the trilogy. It pushed a momentum shift in the genre with a grounded, non-campy take.

Yeah. Wayne just happened to lose his fortune in the stock market the same time that there’s a hostage situation where people hack the Stock Exchange.

Don’t need the SEC to figure out what happened there.

They sent the ENTIRE police force into the Seward to get Bane and they lived for 6 months. That plus the whole they had hours to defuse the bomb but Batman spent time putting gasoline on the bridge for the bat signal?

Saw it when it was released and Bane’s voice didn’t really bother me at the time but caught it on TV the other day and it’s just bad. And now given some time Bale’s voice as Batman is also not so good.

The movie would have been better had Batman actually died, IMO.

Weakest film in the Nolan trilogy yet it completely blows any of the most recent DC/superhero films out of the water. All three of the Bale films were on a completely different planet when it came to acting, tone, and storytelling.
