Holy Cr@pshoot, Batman!

Rating: 2/10 (26 December 2012)

I didn't have too high expectations for this 3rd installment. I knew it can't be better than the Dark Knight. But I couldn't believe how bad it was. So many terrible plot issues and stupidity throughout the movie.
1. Bane sucks as villain, no real character development (and anything you thought you knew about him turns out to be about Talia anyway in the end). Just a thug with a mask and big voice. No explanation of how he recruits his mercenaries and why they would die for him.
2. All cops going into the sewers because that is such a great idea.
3. Batman's stupid helicopter thingy. Too big and seemingly slow, but easily can evade missiles and of course no one would notice it sitting on a building roof for months.
4. The US Army will just sit around on their a$$es not for days, but for months -- because Bane said so. Oh we don't negotiate with terrorists (but we have a "deal").
5. The joke well/prison where there is supposed to be no light, but actually sunlight streaming through to help with the filming all the time. And btw, there is no lack of food or healers down there. No siree. Plus there is a nice coiled rope left up top just to help rest of the prisoners escape in case someone got out. How convenient.
6. Bruce sleeping with Talia. I guess that's OK.
7. And laughable tactics of the police in the "war" -- just walking up to the armed mercenaries to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
8. Plus many more I won't list here because you will be so bored if you end up watching the movie, so you can have something to do.
What I don't understand are these rave reviews and 8.7 rating on IMDb as of this writing. I really have to wonder if these are fake/paid reviews designed to lure more people into buying/renting the DVD. An entirely avoidable movie -- you will not miss anything (and in fact will save yourself 3 hrs of your life).
