Saw this movie in theaters at the time and never really watched it again. Didn't know much about it anymore so I was very curious what I would think of it now, about 9 years later.
Nolan just puts down a phenomenal Batman trilogy. This concluding part is again of a very high level. Especially after 'TDK' expectations were not normally so high and in fact this film could only disappoint.
Still, Nolan has managed to put down a rock-solid action superhero film.
I was also struck by how good the cast was in this film. Personally, I think Anne Hathaway is the biggest surprise, she really adds value to this film. This also applies to a somewhat lesser extent to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who I believe is inscribed because of the twist at the end.
Bale as Batman is well again and he has a hard time with Tom Hardy as 'Bane', a villain in a mask who is enormously strong and smart. Although he can't compete with 'the Joker', I have the idea that he is underestimated. His figure is imposing and a constant threat emanates from him.
Hans Zimmer is once again decisive with his soundtrack, throughout the trilogy. His music is really a positive added value to the whole and lifts the overall level just a bit higher.
Although there are quite a few things to criticize about the plot, the positive points stand out a lot more than the negative ones.
An excellent ending to this trilogy.
4* stood and remain standing.

When the Nolan trilogy came out, I wasn't all that positive actually.
As a Batman fan, I was missing something.
Something… playful, something cartoonish, something romantic.
Batman must be dark (the 60's misery has NOTHING to do with Batman) but Nolan's approach was a little too real for me at the time, a little too cold.
Now, after almost 10 years, they fit me very differently.
I liked them very much though.
And TDKR is the most epic, the biggest, the best as far as I'm concerned.
Wow, what an adventure.
Bane was AT LEAST as strong as Ledgers Joker.
A particularly menacing villain.
I often read plot holes here:
I must have looked a little too small-enthusiastic-boyish, because I didn't notice them.
By the way, if you want to ramble on about logic, do math or something: a movie is for entertaining.
Pretty important...
All in all fantastic film, fantastic music, epic proportions and hey: Anne Hathaway in a sleek black suit. What more do I want?
I can't really think of a downside, and I think that's what the 5 stars were invented for.
It's also nice to see how part 1 and 3 are actually more or less (partly) adaptations of Year One and The Dark Knight Returns respectively.
I missed that a bit more at the time.

The final chord of Nolan's deadly serious Batman trilogy pretends to have deep social criticism, but is in fact a 'Blow-Em-To-Hell Police vs Terrorist' action thriller with a big budget and a lot of big names. That's not an objection to everyone, but I'm allergic to formula films that pretend to be more than that. Eight years after Batman [Christian Bale] took the blame for Harvey Dent's death, he has not been seen in Gotham City. He now lives an empty existence like a weakened, untrained Bruce Wayne until Bane [Tom Hardy] comes to shake things up. Anne Hathaway shows up as Catwoman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the personification of the All-American Good Cop. Of course, Nolan adds some melodramatic moments, as well as an uninteresting twist about the identity of the mastermind behind it all. And of course Gotham is largely in ruins afterwards.
