Terrible follow up to Dark Knight

Rating: 1/10 (9 February 2013)

(spoilers) The only redeeming quality of this movie was the character Bane, who had some interesting dialog, though hard to hear at times, and some well done fight scenes. But everything about Bane is undermined by the introduction of a last minute arch villain turning Bane into a glorified lackey. The last movies in the series tried to hold on to reality giving them extra tension. This movie abandons reality at every turn. Broken back, no problem just just punch it a few times and do some push ups; No money, who needs it just hitch a ride from another country and get back to the other side of the world with no funds, no identification, and no hope get there on faith. One of the biggest problems to the movie is the character Miranda Tait(aka Tila Al Gual) The film purposefully goes out of the way to give her importance and through in a contrived romance just for the sake of having her "twist" betrayal at the end any amount of significance. Was anyone actual shocked that she stabbed him in the back, they where setting it up the whole movie. I could go on but it might get a little mean. Next piece of contrived garbage was the character Blake( aka Robin). the hole "I just looked in your eyes and I knew" crap was the weakest piece of nonsense I ever heard. What is more frustrating is that Nolan had a perfect set up from Batman Begins. Blake could have been the kid Batman saved with Rachel at the end of the first movie. Wouldn't it be better if Blake had said,"oh I was on the Roof when that one chick called you Bruce and I put two and two together" verse the crappy "I just knew line" absolutely weak film making. Not to mention the dialog was weaker the characters completely undermine who they were in previous films. Alfred had always been supportive, albeit sarcastic, about helping Bruce, but know he is a blubbering baby crying about Batman stopping and abandoning him to his fate and then cries again when he thinks his dead. Maybe if you stuck around to help him he would have had a better chance. Stupid writing. The lazy where going to blow up the city cliché is used instead of the themes like fear, of Batman Begins, and Chaos, of Dark Knight. No the themes are abandoned for a bomb in the city. I can not believe this movie is rated as high as it is. I have only scratch the surface of flaws in this movie without not even mentioning the titanic sinking plot holes.
