Lame. Lame lame lame lame lame. Christopher Nolan failed.

Rating: 1/10 (25 July 2016)

I'm reluctant to ever trust this guy's movies ever again. But then again, it may not have even been him who made it I think. It just doesn't look like Christopher Nolan product. It looks like a high school project, or worse.
To start off, the movie looks like it was honestly made by a 2 year old. Or someone who is as immature as one when it comes to the film industry. Cheap camera transitions, cheap scene transitions, cheap rehashes of scenes from other movies. The starting scene looked like NOTHING of Batman the Dark Knight (the 2nd movie in the trilogy) or Batman Begins let alone Batman itself. Looked like some other cheap American movie, I don't get where the thought process was for this. It jumps into random scenes out of the blue.
The sequel has turned into some feel good soap opera drama movie, minus the feeling good part. Everyone seems to have an emotional sentence every few minutes, and I can't stand that. It jumps into drama whining lines randomly out of the blue.
Plus not to mention that EVERYONE seems to take the spotlight of Bruce Wayne away, nobody wants to see "the cops" 24/7 and Catwoman all day. The "law enforcers" are all rude mean corrupt pricks and it's not about being a superhero clobbering 50 opponents like Batman Begins was. It's supposed to be about how the police take a BACK SEAT, there was actually a lame war of "the police" officers charging. I literally held my face in my palm at that moment. We want to see Ninjas and Assassins, not the officers. That is NOT how batman works. The Justice League charges maybe, not the enforcement. I'm not trying to sound like a police hater, but we don't want to see mean people from our universe charging, we want Gondorians from Lord of the Rings and Samurai, Jedi Knights on Geonosis etc. League of Shadows is cool. Not cops. It's supposed to be about a man who is SEPARATE from muggles because he's trained to perfection. He's not a cop follower, and neither is Robin.
It wouldn't even matter if you gave Bruce more spotlight anyway, because he's some lamo sad sop martyr in this movie. Way to make Batman into a complete pansy? What's the deal with that? We want to see BATMAN, it could have been deep to have him sad and then he returns but it wasn't done well. And realistically who he was in Batman Begins was a much tougher cooler character. He sounds like a whiney teen when he's having soap opera arguments with Alfred. Alfred was hardly in the movie as well.
They really dumbed down the fight choreography a lot too. Just like in the Dark Knight (see my review on that movie for more info). So there goes your chance to at least get something cool of Bruce. All the cinematography for the fight scenes looks more amateurish and the fights are just lame and disturbing like Saw. He was better at fighting in Batman Begins. And that's just sad. (This is coming from someone who knows about the martial arts they used for the Batman Begins choreography)
Bad acting relatively as well, especially Catwoman. Nothing cool about a character who treats people like dirt and is mean. That is NOT Catwoman, she's supposed to be SLY and CUNNING, she can be untrustworthy without being plain out spoilt and annoying. More of an annoyance than an actual cool character. Reflective of how a person from Hollywood might be outside of the movie. Tsk.
So there's no swords, no cool ninja training scenes or demonstration of martial arts, just American redneck punching. What else you might ask? Well every villain is made to be lame, I won't spoil it but they ALL suck. Bane is more nightmare disturbing than he is a cool villain. It's like Jigsaw from Saw versus Jafar from Alladin. One is disturbing, one is actually cool and inspiring. Everyone who was following this movie years before it was announced knew that it was supposed to be the Riddler's spotlight. NOT Bane. And if so, Bane should have been CG'd to the max, being ripped completely. They did it in the PS3 games, so why not in the movie? And obviously Chris Nolan copied the video games Arkham Asylum and stuff (no one just comes up with Catwoman, Talia and Bane on their own) so it's not like he couldn't have made Bane muscular.
Well that sums it up. Not fully, there's much more. But it sucks. All recycled music, recycled American movies, it looks like a shameful teen project. Good day.
