I watched all 3 in a row at the theatre and i would have to disagree.
I think the second one tops both.
thats usually the case with trilogies.

As I thought it would be, it was extremely enjoyable, and very good for your standard Hollywood block-buster, but still suffered from Nolan's standard issues.
Far too much expository dialogue, smacking the audience in the face with things (a clean slate? like it deletes a persons record, completely cleaning their slate?), obviousness (it was clear who was the real villain almost from the start), and poor directing (look at this, now look at this, now look at this). Most of the time I was able to look past all of these (and the impossibility of a lot of the stuff) and greatly enjoy it, but occasionally it was too much.
Also, anyone else think Bane sounded like Sean Connery?

I read a review where, iirc, they said his voice sounded like Sean Connery imitating Patrick Stewart. :P
I thought his voice was fine, if a bit difficult to understand at times. It was definitely an odd voice, though.
I don't know yet where I'd place this one in the trilogy ranking-wise. I love them all for different reasons. Batman Begins was awesome because of the ninja training and all of the "Batman as detective in the shadows" stuff. TDK was awesome because of the Joker and capturing the senseless insanity of Batman's Rogues Gallery. And TDKR is awesome for providing Batman with an overwhelming challenge of brute force and deliberate destruction.

At least last time you Brits got pissed off, we got punk music out of it. This time, it'll probably just end up being embers breaks

The fact that the odds were stacked against Bruce/Batman as much as they were and he just brushes them aside like it is nothing is what really made this movie less believable then the others. The first time Batman and Bane fight, Batman gets absolutely slaughtered. He had zero chance to beat him at hand to hand combat and ends up getting his back broken.
He is left in a prison to recover, which only took him 5 months to recover from a broken back. Not only that, when he tried to climb out of the whole, he failed twice, falling which looked like at least 30 to 40 feets, WITH A ROPE TIED AROUND HIS BACK!!! Somehow this does not damage his back any further, he makes it out of the hole, travels all the way back to Gotham, and beats Bane in their second hand to hand combat match.
Give me a break.
By the way, is there a spoiler tag?
i have to disagree with you there. the fact that the majority of the film is spent on Bruce sitting in that cave gathering his strength (both physical and mental) lends massive credibility to his comeback. the symbolism behind the jump is what makes his fight with at the end believable...conquering his biggest hurdle by becoming just as tough as Bane.
I'm sure there are a million ways to nitpick at this film, and it's always some small plot hole or "unrealistic element" (no shit its a movie about a guy dressed as a bat) which people seem to point to because the truth is; the writing, the cinematography, the acting and pretty much all of its other aspects are phenomenal. this coming from a guy who had unrealistically high expectations after TDK. take the other films out of the equation, if you will, and judge it on its own merit...this blows away 90% of films out there and certainly every other comic book movie ever made (with perhaps the exception of its own predecessor)

I saw it today, and I really liked it.
There were some parts that were lame, but some parts that were good.

Did Batman bring down a helicopter with a car because he ran out of bullets? If not, it can only be a close second!
