Drawn out and tedious

Rating: 1/10 (6 December 2012)

Just sat thru two and a half hours of overrated tedium. Maybe it's just me, but I expect superheroes (and it is arguable whether Batman is a Superhero or a super Inspector Gadget) to be to be super and heroic, is that too much to ask? Instead we get a self- pitying cripple who's upset because he lost his girlfriend who was going to dump him anyway! Is it Gotham City or Eastenders?
Also, that flying machine looked more like a cockroach than a bat - perhaps they could've called it Cockman and Pussywoman so we wouldn't get it confused with the real Superhero.
Oh and who couldn't see the soooo surprising twist to find that the Millionairess with the foreign accent was in league with Bane? Wow it was almost as devious as a Dan Brown novel. Still at least Batman, or rather Brucie Baby, got further than Bane there!
And then there was Bane's voice, or rather Voice-over, which made it reminiscent of those awful dubbed continental movies, but at least we didn't have he problem of lip synching. Couldn't they have put a more realistic voice such as Darth Vader or Stephen Hawking? If we're not going o get action, then a few laughs might have made it more enjoyable.
I had really looked forward to this movie and desperately wanted to enjoy it, but maybe I had set my expectations too high. Certainly a lot of my friends enjoyed it a lot more than I.
