Is the Dark Knight Rises good or bad?

It's not great but I find it highly enjoyable because of Bane
The quotes are just too good
I actually find it annoying in that scene how it seems the dialogue isn't synced with Hardy's movements or he's over acting or something, but he has this moment where he adds way too much head bobbing as he's talking. It annoys me a lot for some reason.
Right at the end here:
ugh lmao

For you

Large in scale but has some pretty poor directing choices (like wtf with the bane voice). It's biggest sin is having basically no growth for Batman/Bruce. Divorced from the other films this may have not been a problem but as the final in the trilogy it feels weird.
I actually liked the head nodding part. Pretending to care.It's not great but I find it highly enjoyable because of Bane

Its just alright.
The only reason it angers people so is because the second movie was insanely rewatchable and this one isn't. On its own its not a bad movie, and if it hadn't been released after TDK it would have been accepted better overall IMO. Same with the second Avengers movie.

Its actually a good movie if you remove all the Talia scenes.
Doubly weird is that Gordon is in the van but remains completely unscathed, whereas she dies. Wtf. Id imagine the force of a crash will shatter your boned if you're just hanging around in the back of a van.
It's not great to begin with and deviates just as much, in entirely different ways, from what Batman is as Snyder's take does. Bruce is somehow capable of 'not' being Batman for such a long period that this version of the character barely has a rogues gallery at all? And then he comes back and is barely in the film.
If the first two had better set it up it could have been better. Like, if we actually had a GCPD we knew and cared about outside of Gordon... but we didn't do Bats is taken out and it's a bunch of minor characters running around and then, if I recall, the finale is during the day time? In a Batman movie? I don't get it.
(As an aside, why does Gotham look progressively less like Gotham the further into the Nolan series you go?)

Good movie, just don't think very much when you watch it. Like pretty much every comic book movie.
Just abysmally embarrassingly awful. I hated everything about it and I truly enjoyed Begins/The Dark Knight.
It's a deeply flawed but entertaining film. Definitely the worst of the Nolan trilogy but I wouldn't call it a bad movie. Tom Hardy is fun to watch as Bane. Most of the film is beautifully shot. It just has some really odd writing choices.
Too many stupid shit in there for me to call it good.
The nonsense stock market thing. The nonsense broken spine thing. The nonsense prison thing. The nonsense brawl thing. The nonsense I know you are Batman thing. The nonsense 'send all cops to the sewer thing'. The nonsense cops staying at sewer for months but they look like supermodels when they're finally out thing.
Too many.

I'm pretty high rn but I'll try to answer.
The plot is tooooooooo convoluted and confusing - even on repeated viewings - to be good.
They tried to do another crazy/cool opening scene - and don't get me wrong, this scene has spectacle galore - but you're left sitting there thinking "what the fuck just happened and who the fuck were these people?"
And by the time the whole nuclear bomb thing gets going and they reintroduce the physicist you've forgotten about that dumb scene.
I also hate how they keep referencing this major plot moment that happened BEFORE the movie, when there was some clean energy project and they killed it and there's romantic history etc - all of this shit is too much to keep in mind while also trying to make sense of the stock market thing that bankrupted Wayne for whatever reason and there was a cool bike chase?
The Bane fight scene is still cool as fuck to me (even though it's sometimes not super well choreographed) but Bane is totally neutered by the dumb twist that calls back to the first movie which wasn't called back to AT ALL in Dark Knight so woopdee fuck, and that basically ruins the movie on repeated viewings.
The whole nuclear bomb thing would've suited riddler better, and it would've been a good opportunity to focus on batman as the smart detectiv guy too. The whole "Bruce died but wait autopilot worked" but wait how would he have escaped the blast
I loved everything about JGL and AH's journeys (except for JGL's dumb reasoning for knowing who batman is) and all that side of the movie, loved the ending (I like the happy Bruce ending fuck off)-
But...yeah. It's no Begins which I love as much as Dark Knight, and it's no Dark Knight. Not sure what the fuck happened.

No not the nodding. Most of his acting is good, but there's a spot where he stops talking and then does this side-to-side head shimmy, it just always struck me as odd.
Not the best followup to a great movie.
I'd say it's good. 7/5-8/10
Nolan's a great visual storyteller/cinematographer, so you've got that going on. Bane memes are great. The plot sort of fizzles out near the endgame, but Nolan actually gave Batman a decent ending.

It's bloated and a lot of it doesn't make any sense.
The last movie to confuse me as much in the theater was Attack of the Clones.
Was left questioning myself, is this movie stupid or am I not getting something?

Fuck me, I guess I can't fit in with the cool crowd here, but I love it.
One of my favorite comic book films, and huge in scale and spectacle without absurd CG monster fights at the end.
Bane is a dope villain.
Love how dark the second half is. Feels almost like an entirely different film after the football game.
The last three minutes are great.
Everything just feels BIG.
