Arguably the most anticipated movie of the year is here at long last. "The Dark Knight Rises" is the final chapter in the excellent Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy and while it is probably the weakest of the bunch, it was definitely worth the wait. This third film is somewhat different in tone than the previous installments (which were, in turn, different from each other) but it does an excellent job of concluding the story with raised emotional stakes. The story loses its focus a bit in parts, and a few of the action sequences are a tad over-the-top, but it all comes together in the end with a satisfying third act that ties everything up nicely. Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway are excellent as Batman's new antagonists and all the returning players are as good as they've ever been. This is an electrifying conclusion to what will undoubtedly go down as one of the great movie trilogies of all time.
