A new perspective

Rating: 4/10 (27 August 2012)

This is probably a totally different kind of review, but it does have to do with the movie, so I'll just get started.
You know, I've been writing this book and at a point when I was stuck and needed inspiration I decided to watch this movie, hoping it would inspire me so I could connect the dots in my story line. I have a plot, but all the pieces don't fit together. It's been incredibly important to me to make sure that anything that happens in my book doesn't just pop out of the blue; that it's explainable and the audience can understand why it's happening or how it got to that point.
When I was watching this movie, it was the first time I really paid attention to the plot....and realized that it's FULL of loopholes! For instance, how does Robin - just by looking at canisters full of explosives - realize exactly what Bane is trying to do with them? That certainly wasn't explained. Yet it gets an 8.8 rating on IMDb? How did that happen? Now I'm confused on how this movie got such a great rating with a plot that's full of unexplained gaps.
