A disappointing end to a great franchise.

Rating: 1/10 (15 August 2012)

This is my first review on IMDb and I have started writing just because I had huge expectations and was letdown.
There were a few good parts but overall, it was a disappointment. Even if I didn't consider the hype around this movie, I don't think it would've impressed me as much as its predecessors did. This probably ends the series on a note Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy ended, with lots of plot-holes and a disappointing finale. Though people were so close to this franchise, they may not accept this movie was a letdown. But it was. There were too many faults to be listed. But faults are forgivable if the story is engaging and enjoyable. It seemed a bit rushed, like they planned to make four movies but just to fit it in three films they made it overly long and boring.
Bane was a joke by the end of the movie. The twist wasn't that bad, but the death of Bane was stupid. Even Talia's death was not that great. In her final scenes, Cotillard's acting was funny. And just to satisfy the fans they gave it a happy ending, over a childish feature which they had to explain the entire movie, The Auto-Pilot. If Tumbler could be driven by an Auto-Pilot why not The Bat.
People may have a different opinion but this just wasn't a right end to the trilogy. I wouldn't be surprised if the makers realize it and carry on further. But for me this was the most disappointing film this year, just because of all the hype it was surrounded by.
