Did we see the same movie ?

Rating: 4/10 (3 August 2012)

I let the night pass... after watching this boring, uninteresting, stupid, badly written, movie.
And when I read here that "The Dark Knight Rises is emotionally riveting", I can't help laughing :- )
American Movie Industry has gotten us used to great humor lines in the middle of action, has gotten us used to fun dialogs, and NEW WAYS to use the camera, invention...
The Dark Knight Rises is - in all aspects - absolutely ZERO. Humor ? One or two lines. Acting ? I guess Michael Cain and Morgan Freeman had some taxes to pay... so they had to accept the job. You feel pity for both these great actors all along the movie. Nolan has them saying such STUPID & EMPTY dialogs ! Poor guys ! Cotillard is vulgar - that's all she's ever been, anyway. Only Anne Hathaway seems to get something out of her role.
The filming is boring. Absolutely NOTHING new, nothing "wow". The camera is "saying nothing". It's just filming facts, almost as a news crew would do. Nolan counts on explosions and city skyline views to make us happy. Doesn't work :-(
Very very poor movie.
I gave 4 stars.
1 star for the money spent on production. 1 star for Anne Hathaway. 1 star for the music. 1 star for Christian Bale.
Period.
