Good... But Unfortunately Not Great

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2012)

I've gotten used to enter a Theater, and knowing that if it's a Nolan's movie, I will most likely see a highly engaging and intelligent scrip (for Hollywood standards), asides the overall good pace and direction. This movie has it's moments, very good moments, but unfortunately I felt several times along the 160m of TDKR, that it was just a regular Hollywood movie, not a "Nolan's Hollywood" special. All the acting is good, but I think the characters could have a better flown. What I mean is that certain scenes just seemed happen to get something out of the way or to get a scene going. Catwomen is the most at ease character, Bane was good (Hardy is a great actor), but it needed more time and insight. Many others, however, seemed to go a little on hiccups, and the one I felt most apart was the Batman himself, I didn't cared enough for him, and I was sad for this. It's not to like it's a bad movie, in fact it's better than the average, but when you compare it with the previous 2 entries, and Nolan's previous work, you know they should have got something more out of it. PS: I wished there was at least a small reference to Joker
