Terrible Film

Rating: 8/10 (4 October 2014)

Where to start?This film just does not deserve the praise it gets at all.The plot is something that a 12 year old could come up with,the acting abysmal and it's pro-American stance on the war in Iraq is disgusting.Like the previous film this tries to convey a deep sense of morality but it does it in such an obvious way.Nolan got too big for his boots after TDK,in this film we are supposed to see Bruce Wayne's discovery of himself as it shows when he is down the hole and spends half the film trying to get out of it.The main thing people criticise is the length but if its a good film then it shouldn't matter.What they are really saying is that it's BORING,in fact incredibly so.When I first watched this film at the cinema I couldn't figure out what it was that I specifically didn't like about it,so I bought it on DVD and watched it again and realised quite simply that it's a crap film.Boring,pretentious and filled with characters that are impossible to care for as they are so hollow which is a criticism I give all Nolan's films after Batman Begins.The Dark Knight Trilogy had the same thing The Matrix Trilogy had,a superb first film to be ruined by much inferior sequels,the only difference is that TDK and TDKR get so much praise that it makes me question the future of films when drivel like this is considered a "Masterpiece"
