Good Movie - But overrated

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2012)

Batman: The Dark Knight Rises was an epic movie, but I think it failed to reach the greatness it proposed. Its a movie that will keep you captivated throughout (and for a 2:45hr movie, that quite impressive), but somewhat the plot felt quite predictable for me. Yes it had its interesting surprises, but these surprises were more like pulling out an old trick from the bag that everyone knows..they lacked the captivating effect.
I think the other thing that made not as epic, is that I failed to connect with any of the characters of the movie emotionally...Unlike the Joker in the dark knight, how made you feel his evil side, I never really got that from this movie. It was a well written script (hence beautiful dialogs and storyline) but lacked that emotionally connection.
Worth watching none the less
