10 Recent Movie Endings That Pissed Everyone Off

10. The Dark Knight Rise (2012)

Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is arguably the greatest collection of superhero movies ever made, and at least one of the three should be included in a list of the greatest films of all time, with 2008's The Dark Knight winning countless accolades and awards. The Dark Knight Rises is another solid entry to the franchise, following on from the Dark Knight's sombre finale and creating a story that deals with a Bruce Wayne very much on the decline of his physical state and the emotional weight of his role as Batman.

Coming in after Heath Ledger must have been a daunting prospect, but Tom Hardy does a great job in nailing the eccentric-sounding but brutal Bane, easily the best choice of DC villain to hammer home Batman's weaknesses. Not only is he physically imposing, doing enough damage to Batman to literally retire him, but this is a villain at the height of his own power, taking over Gotham without breaking a sweat.

So whilst Dark Knight Rises is a nice, fitting end to a brilliant trilogy, it's pretty hard to escape the feeling that both Bane and the series deserved a little better than a rushed death scene and that forced Robin reveal at the end.
