A rushed mess that seemingly everyone loved

Rating: 4/10 (21 February 2016)

The Dark Knight Rises is a film that gets worse the more you think about it. I would say this film was damaged by the tragic death of Health Ledger. As I believe he was intended to be our behind the scenes main antagonist. But the character Talia Al Ghul was shoehorned in after plan 'A' was off the books. This film has many MacGuffins e.g. the presence of Bane. As soon as we find out he is no longer relevant to the story he is instantly killed off. The Bruce Waynes leg is fixed by a magic knee brace. Bruce Waynes broken back is fixed by getting punched to the spine. The whole GCPD stupidly marched into the Gotham sewers and got trapped for like 3 months. Bane turns the whole city into raging criminals by reading a statement James Gordon wrote confessing the truth about Harvey Dent that Bane somehow got, which no one questions the authenticity of. They just eat it up like good little sheep. I could go on and on and on. People blindly love this film by ignoring all its faults. Which is why it has a 8.5 film rating. But when you think about it long and hard, all you see is a not so great film hiding in its own hype.
