Sorely disappointed

Rating: 1/10 (21 July 2012)

I must be one of the few that was disappointed with this very hyped up film.
Visually it was flawless, the special effects and action scenes (there weren't many) were excellent.
My gripe is the story line, and the way it seemed to jump months ahead at a time. 6 months worth of story line squashed into 2.5 hours. I remember glancing at my watch wondering when we were going to get to the point. 2 hours of very slow, sometimes boring story line. Then a burst of action towards the end. All I'm left thinking is Batman would have had his ass handed to him if the Baine didn't have a mask that kept his pain at bay.
The scene with Alfred when he talks about visiting the cafe in Italy and just looking over and seeing Bruce with a girl and a couple kids, then the way it tied in with the ending was just FAR too corny/cheesy for me.
All in all a visual masterpiece with definite room for improvement. And still 'The Dark Knight' remains the best movie of the trilogy.
