what a disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (19 July 2012)

I can't tell you how disappointed I was, since Christopher Nolan directed three of my favorite movies -- Inception, The Prestige, and Memento -- as well as the two most recent Batman movies which were really good, and not just "superhero-type" movies, but were really high-quality films in every respect.
Another phenomenon is how I could dislike a movie that stars some of my all-time favorite actors -- Michael Caine, Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman -- not to mention other greats like Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman, plus Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy (who was totally wasted as the villain wearing this mask that obscured all his emotions and, particularly, his voice).
Actually almost all of their talents were totally wasted, mainly because the storyline was grossly deficient in so many ways.
However it is somewhat entertaining, and good in a few parts (for example, I thought Catwoman was a bright spot), so it's not a bomb or anything.
