the good,the bad and the ugly

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2012)

let me start by saying i liked the last batman a lot.give a good director unlimited resources and you'll get a good movie...usually.it's definitely not as good as the second one but how could it be?heres a a brief checklist:
the good: the character of bane is really excellent.genuinely scary with a great vocal effect-part john Huston in Chinatown with an English accent and part Daniel day lewis channeling john Huston in Chinatown in there will be blood filtered through Stephen hawking's computer voice with reverb.
Anne Hathaway is smoking hot.
Marion collard is very pretty
Gary oldman again resists chewing the scenery
hearing Michael Caine pronounce "ras AL ghul" is good for a chuckle
the movie never drags
the opening airplane sequence / bane's introduction was excellent as was bane's backstory/origins..
the big twist at the end involving Miranda Tate (Marion collard) was very clever.did not see that coming
the bad:
Marion collard may be very pretty but i hope i never have to listen to her mangle the English language again.this woman is not an asset to your repertory company Mr.Nolan.i forgave her in inception,but here..ugh
Anne Hathaway is totally wrong as catwoman.a good actress who i like a lot but not here.bad casting-it needed somebody a little more punk rock,a lot more punk rock in fact-Hathaway is about as edgy as a bagel.even the ultra horrible, wooden-eyed Kristen Stewart would've been an upgrade.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the "hey,he's robin isn't he??" subplot was a mystery for about 30 seconds
squeezing in a cameo for cillian Murphy was not necessary
why was Gary oldman in the hospital for so long?and if he really was in need of such intensive care why was he able to get up and fight off 5 bad guys?
how the hell did comm.Gordon and his fellow exiles make it off the ice after being sentenced by scarecrow (cillian Murphy)?
Bruce Wayne goes to a doctor who tells him he's in worse shape than Joe Namath and the movie completely forgets that meeting ever happened.really.."Mr.Wayne you have no cartilage left in either knee"."OK,thanks.I'm going to rappel down the side of the building now"
the ugly:
listening to Michael Caine pronounce "ras AL ghul"...
i know it sounds like I'm hating on this movie but I'm justing having a little fun with it.i really did like it a lot...
