Disappointing from an European point of view

Rating: 6/10 (15 August 2012)

If I were an American, then this movie would have filled my heart with patriotism and hope. But it's too much American dream to take in for me. I realized that the Batman trilogy was made great because of the Joker. That's it... the Joker deserved an Oscar for the role in The Dark Knight. Although the last movie continues the ideas from the predecessor, it fails by giving too much American stuff to take in for a neutral spectator. Too many messages of "This great country of ours will rise again blah blah blah". Action wise... Nolan delivers again, but the Catwoman idea is sometimes pathetic. Conclusion... nowhere near of the quality of "The Dark Knight". I watched it just to fulfill my desire to watch the whole trilogy. Good with some popcorn or chips, but nothing more.
