For My Part The Dark Knight Rises Could Have Stayed Below *

Rating: 3/10 (5 July 2013)

It takes over one-hour in this overly long miserable film to establish the plot-another terrorist campaign against the city of Gotham and its residents. The flashbacks relating to medieval times are of absolutely no value here.
The one redeeming item in this otherwise awful film is the performance by veteran actor Michael Caine, as Bruce Wayne's faithful servant Alfred. He knows when it is time to go; he is dramatic when he has to be and he certainly knew when to pour on the tears.
Anne Hathaway presents an interesting but conflicting character here. She is a jewel thief, cunning, vicious and the ultimate lover for Bruce Wayne.
