Boring, overrated and dumb.

Rating: 1/10 (9 June 2014)

This movie is the perfect example how good work will change peoples perception off later work. The two previous movies were very good, this one isn't. There are plot holes through which you could drive a whole truckload of tumbelers. Just a few highlights: - The attack at the stock exchange doesn't make sense whatsoever. This one in itself hat a whole bunch of problems, but I'll focus on the biggest one: If you pull something off like that, all they're going to do is reverse everything you did. They can do that. They have backups. They have done it in the past before. It's not like a truckload of gold you can just go and steal. They can tell exactly what you've done and have every right to reverse it.

Batmans magic healing (twice). So his body first got repaired by magic bracer's (which he apparently never worse before or afterward. Right, that's gonna magically repair his bones. Then his vertebrae gets punched back in. That would actually make it worse. This is actually one of the dumbest scenes I've ever seen.

Thalia. Really, Nolan? A sad attempt to A: have a plot twist again and B: have that whole full circle thing going on.

The reactor. Sooo Bruce funds a reactor that could solve all energy problems, hears someone could build a bomb out of it and therefore builds a room under Gotham's river where he could dump the ACTIVE reactor. Instead of, you know, disassembling it.

Bane was ridiculous. It's of course hard to follow up the joker, but from his menacing appearance at the beginning, not much is left at the end of the movie. Turns out, when you just punch him in the huge obvious breathing apparatus that might as well have a bull's eye drawn on it instead of his chest, that actually helps. Also doesn't help that he wasn't actually the mastermind behind this plan.

The prison. Where no light ever comes in. Which is made clear. Has a huge hole through which light comes in. Nolan? Also the escape from the prison was stupid. Apparently, fear makes you jump a bit further. I would like to add that this was performed before by a little girl.

And it just goes on like that. The script looks like Nolan had about a handful of ideas on his story board and couldn't come up with anything but lazy ideas, stupid pathos and filler material. He somehow felt like he needed to stuff the whole occupy-movement in there, doing it as badly as he possible could, symbolism for the sake of symbolism (burning bat anyone?), all in all it's just mediocre, not nearly worth the praise it has been getting. Nolan screwed up majorly with this one. Batman Begins and Dark Knight were great movies. This one definitely wasn't.
