Only adequate

Rating: 6/10 (22 July 2012)

The weakest of the 3 recent Batman movies
It starts very well. Nice new characters that are in-keeping with the comic books (as far as i know). The plot shows signs of being interesting and intricate, like it will twist and turn. But after Batman first meets Bane, it becomes rather dull, rather cheesy, something we've seen (executed better) a hundred times before.
So you have an hour settling in to a good movie, and then an hour sitting through an ordeal. It doesn't have much of the dark suspense "Batman" feel to it either. It feels like any old movie where the hero saves the day. I couldn't wait for it to end, and after all the anticipation of it's release, I felt rather disappointed.
