The Dark Knight Falls

Rating: 1/10 (12 January 2013)

Batman used to be a fun character. Then Nolan took over and ran the franchise into the ground. "Batman Begins" was not bad actually, but "The Dark Knight" was terrible. His third effort in the series hits a new low, an agonizingly long and tedious affair featuring a convoluted but sophomoric story riddled with cartoon characters. With his inane script and sluggish direction, Nolan once again demonstrates why he is one of the biggest hacks working in the movies these days. Although it has a large, impressive cast of familiar faces, none of the characters is the least bit interesting. Only good news is rumors that this might be Nolan's last Batman film.
