Don't worship at the altar of Chris Nolan... Less is More.

Rating: 5/10 (31 December 2012)

Its a belated review.... I don't care, but I was sufficiently puzzled by this movie to write one anyway. What gives? Why the high IMDb score? Why do the professional critics say such good thinks about this movie?
I found it turgid and predictable. The plot was totally over the top, even for a block-buster comic-book interpretation. There was very little Batman action... and what we got was clunky and lumbering. It reminded me of an old Woody Allen quip... "The food here is terrible and the portions are so small".
Many many details were just so misjudged.... I listed a few below
SPOILERS BELOW....
How does the Batman so significantly misjudge his enemies? He must have a blind-spot when it comes to femme-fatales!
Why does someone have to raid the stock exchange to drop a bunch of put options? Nobody noticed until these expired? Really!! I would have believed this more if Bane hacked in remotely from his bedroom and transferred Bruce's money to an offshore account.
Why does the revolution feel so pathetic? Why are the Gotham streets so devoid of people and vehicles? For a movie that dares to create such a huge plot device, it fails to carry it off in my view.
How can a we have a fusion machine and a Bat without autopilot in the same universe?
This movie is a perfect example of how movie makers today sacrifice decent story-telling by trying to tell epic tales in 180minutes or less. It just cant be done, even by a master film-make like Nolan!
