Not too sure what I can add to this space; I thought this was a great film! Invariably people start to compare it to Dark Knight, but I think that's just a poor comparison to make. I enjoyed both greatly, for similar reasons (eg great villains, great cast, great writing) and dissimilar (eg plot, execution). Each film was tailored to its content and catered to the strengths of its cast.
Loved Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, and supporting cast. The film itself started off with a bang (in mid-air no less!), and continues to snowball through Gotham, and climaxes in a finale worthy of the series.
Perhaps Dark Knight Rises suffers a little in execution, stuttering a little here and there due to its epic scope, but I hardly noticed.
All in all, loved the film.
