Temper your hopes, The dark knight barely rises to the occasion.

Rating: 7/10 (23 July 2012)

While there was some good to the movie, there was just too many things that i feel were wrong. And it makes me wonder did I see the same movie as everyone else?
as i said the bad outweighed the good. and although i did like many things, I came out of the movie somewhat disappointed.
First what i liked. A lot of Bane's characteristics were kept in. Nolan took it in a way that it should. Although he has the strength, it's his intelligence that makes him a threat. Hs voice is a little off putting at first but as time goes on it really fits the character. Anne Hathaway was a great catwoman. Everyone had their doubts but she pulled it off. she really pulled away from her previous work to really show what talent she's capable of.
Now what is bad, is this movie takes place 8 yrs after the dark knight. Nolan puts too much origin this movie, he tries to develop a character we are all to familiar with. and Being Bruce Wayne called it quits after two years of being batman there really wasn't a whole lot to tell in this origin. "The breaking the bat scene" seemed to go under the radar and should have been more cinematic then it was. It was really disappointing and happened way to early in the movie. Christopher Nolan also uses elements of Bane's origin for Talia's character in the movie, and hardly goes into Bane's origin at all. Lastly STOP READING NOW IF YOU Don't WANT THE ULTIMATE SPOILER! The Robin reveal was the most unnecessary and most anti-climatic ending that they could have done away with. There was absolutely no reason to add it, especially when Nolan said no more bat movies will be made and Christian Bale told us he would not do a bat movie if robin was in any part of it.
Im giving this movie a very low 7, i would give a 6.5 but since you cant i rounded up.
