Disappointed

Rating: 7/10 (24 July 2012)

Despite the pressure to end the trilogy this film had all the ingredients to duplicate the success of The Dark Knight, which I thought was terrific. However, Christopher Nolan bit more off than he could chew. With so many characters, story lines end loose ends to finish, none of it really felt like something I as an audience should care about. Instead you are racing down a rather predictable road with so much stuff going on it's hard to find room for surprises and thoughts. Nothing really stands out or is memorable after I've seen it, not even the action or grand scale. And the ending I can describe no other than cheesy and lame. I don't know if it's perhaps the high expectations I had or if the film is just not that great. Compared to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight this was very disappointing and the least impressive of the three. Sell out would be the right term.
