Disappointed

Rating: 5/10 (8 December 2012)

As a big Batman fan and collector, I saw this movie in the summer when it came out and have just seen it again after having purchased it, but must say I am disappointed.
There are epic scenes, the actors are consistently excellent and the themes of heroism, sacrifice and family match well with the first two chapters of Nolan's trilogy. Unfortunately, the basic story is a mess.
Just cup your hands in front of your mouth and repeat Bane's speeches and see how ridiculous they sound. The Braveheart battle between the police ( who have spent 3 months locked in tunnels, but have fresh clean uniforms) and the mercenaries should have included 'Pow', "Bam' and 'Wam' flashes like the 60's series. The last battle scene even has a major mistake, where Talia is alternately shown as being alone and with a driver that ultimately disappears from the cab of the truck carrying the nuclear device.
Like I said, I am a big fan of Batman and have loved all of Nolan's previous work, but the movie let me down for the above and many more reasons. Would recommend only to Batman fanatics like me.
