I was ready to walk out halfway through

Rating: 5/10 (23 July 2012)

I'm starting to believe I was seeing a different movie than everyone else. I found there was so much wrong with this movie that I was about to walk away halfway through. Really, there is only so much disbelief I can suspend in one sitting.
Probably the biggest issue was that Bane's voice is distorted. Now, I'm not a native speaker of English, but I like to believe I have a decent grasp of the language. Still, half of the time, I couldn't understand what Bane was saying, and, apparently, what he is saying is quite important to the plot. Subtitles would probably have helped a lot here.
Be Ware, here be Spoilers: The rest, man, where to begin? I must have missed a few day-to-night transitions, which makes the plot a bit jarring. Most of the jokes fell flat. People stuck underground for 3 months don't come out clean shaven and ready for battle. Why is batman's plane not equipped with chaff or flares? Why didn't the bad guys flood the generator room on day 1?
I could go on for a long time listing all the things I thought were just plain silly. Okay, just one more. It started to become really annoying that whenever the heroes achieved something, Bane and a group of thugs would show up out of nowhere. Now I'm fine with the bad guy being one step ahead, but this was just too much. At least too much without being explained.
Hmmm, maybe Bane did explain it and I just didn't understand because of that damn voice distortion!
