Pretentious

Rating: 5/10 (18 August 2012)

I'll be brief: the characters have zero, well, character, the movie is full of plot holes, the twists are not mind-blowing but mind-numbing and irritating, and to top it all off, the fight scenes are poorly shot.
It's pretentious and it fails: it has multiple plot lines of great potential, but none of them go full circle, leaving so much hanging in the air. If 2.5 hours is not enough, you might consider changing your plan.
I have to have at least 10 lines for the review to be accepted, but this film really does not merit so much text or thought. Nolan's Batman magic is gone and this movie is completely unnecessary - from an artistic point of view, of course. From the money perspective, it makes perfect sense. Too bad it won't be a flop.
