I Give Up on the IMDb Star Rating

Rating: 3/10 (18 March 2013)

I just finished watching the movie and the first thing I wanted to Google was, "The Dark Knight Rises plot holes," because I COULDN'T be the only one who saw them all. Lo and behold, there were hundreds of people writing about them. I then breathed a sigh of relief that people were actually critically analyzing vs. blindly absorbing. BUT, then I went to this website and saw the movie rated 8.6 out of 10!!! The 46th best movie of all time??!! Are you fu*king kidding me??!! What a joke.
The sad part is, I bet the people who gave it a 10 out of 10 don't even know what a movie plot is and what makes for a good one. I bet they have no idea what character development is, a movie timeline, logical event sequences, etc. They probably just see guns, explosions, car chases and fighting and thus rate the movie as EXCELLENT...I mean, with all those cool things how could it not be? (eye roll) This is one of the major flaws in a democracy, too many sheep get a vote.
Batman Begins was excellent, don't get me wrong and so was The Dark Knight, but this one was not, it's that simply. They didn't even try. Just Google "The Dark Knight Plot Holes" if you want to know what I'm taking about. It takes more than cheesy action scenes to make a great movie...oh who am I kidding, if you gave the movie a bad rating I am preaching to the choir, if you gave it a great rating I wouldn't be able to sway you anyhow.
To sum it up. The Dark Knight Rises was cheesy, illogical, ridiculous, unbelievable, and went against common sense...but, it did have some really cool graphics and fun toys. However, even if you did combine all the coolest machines and you placed them all in one movie, in the end, it never adds any depth of the plot, it just distracts from it.
