Not really a fan

Rating: 6/10 (23 November 2012)

I didn't really enjoy the Christopher Nolan trilogy, and I am not sure why. I don't think there was anything in them, thematically or otherwise, that really interested me. I liked the villain, Bane, mostly for his cool accent. The movie had a decent build, with Bane defeating Batman and taking over Gotham, but I really didn't follow what it was for. Then the final sequence where they are trying to find the bomb in time felt really generic. Another superhero-saves-the-world-at-the-last-minute type of deal that had zero interest or suspense. I really don't care about any of the questions that the movie might be raising about how far does Batman have to go to stop terrorists who don't play by any rules. I didn't care about any of the characters or performances, except maybe Gary Oldman. By the time we find out about Talia and who everyone is, I felt like everything had deflated. It was well made, but I was just never into it.
