All the hype and fanfare does not make a movie good.

Rating: 4/10 (9 May 2013)

to begin, i am an avid comic book collector since 1991. i love batman in the comics. this movie not only frustrated me to no end, but it also was an annoying movie. it twisted and confused the characters relationship to each other so much that the plot was not even feasible. bane is the most annoying character of them all, followed by alfred, and then Christian bale. every time bane spoke, it was like listening to a diatribe by an actor that sounded like a higher-pitched mike tyson voice. now, i can understand maybe he got his high voice because maybe he has no balls left, i don't know. i hear steroids shrinks your balls. it's like that first time you watched a mike tyson fight that lasted 2 seconds and then you heard him speak for the first time. then imagine him not shutting up.
and just when you thought bane was annoying enough, the more annoying thing about the movie is that nothing made sense. it's not really a batman movie, it's a movie based on the batman. you could have called it owl man and it wouldn't have made any difference.
also, while the other two movies showed more batman's genius, this movie only showed how stupid batman is.
i could go on, but then i don't want to spoil the ending for you. not that you couldn't predict the ending on your own.
