"The Dark Knight Rises. I have always found TDK a bit overrated, and I felt that Heath Ledger's magical performance escalated it to greatness. In my eyes, TDK simply would have been good, instead of great. However, TDKR has Bale's best performance in the trilogy, Bane's menace, Anne Hathaway's charisma (who arguably stole the show), Michael Caine's most sensitive portrayal, JGL in a solid role, and more! Sure, the movie wasn't quite as tight in terms of storytelling, but it was enormous in scope and ambition, so it is easily forgivable. Plus I heard that the second viewing of this movie is not as "murky" or whatever you want to call it with the storyline. Ledger had the showy performance in TDK, but Tom Hardy killed as Bane. The fact that he was able to terrify us with just two dark eyes is impressive, and his voice was ominous. The ending was perfectly emotional and unforgettable, and the score was fantastic. To me, TDKR is more impressive than TDK, which greatly benefited from Ledger's show-stealing Joker. I would gtive TDK a 9/10, and TDKR a 9.5-10/10 "
