Lots of problems stopped me from loving this movie

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2012)

I'll try to be to the point. I know the basic Batman story and characters (like Bane), and have seen the other two movies of this trilogy. With "The Dark Knight Rises", they invented their own Bane, made too many moments where one had to try to suspend disbelief, had bad pacing, a bad-feeling sequence of events, etc. It didn't feel like a great movie overall, and I will make a few comments and ask a few questions...very specific ones:
How did Blake figure out who Batman was just from a look, when he was a kid? Too easy, too convenient.
They changed Bane into something that maybe made more sense (rather than insta-grow, classic Bane), but when Batman broke his painkiller mask, they could have capitalized on that a lot more blatantly...make it obvious that Bane could feel pain again and that Batman could maybe beat him in a fair (er) fight, when Bane could feel it...
Batman DOES use guns (or things stronger than them) a LOT...he used a thugs gun against him in "Batman Begins" while protecting Rachel...maybe just a foot shot, but it was there, with no real afterthought, but they push the "you don't use guns" down our throats.
The missiles should have easily caught his flying vehicle in the amount of time portrayed.
The "Scarecrow" as the judge was a needless nod to the first movie, with it being non-sense as the people would obviously not want him to be a judge.
1000 male convicts and 1 woman and she got out of the prison break completely unscathed? Really? Not even an explanation, a short scene...
How did Bruce get back to Manhattan from the prison? How far was that? He had NOTHING, not even money at that point. His private Jet would take hours, if he had it.
So Banes very old prisoners still follow his orders, do as he says, in that hellish pit?
Too many suicidals, including Talia. I get it that it's a cause, a cult, but still...
Why was there a counter on a bomb that was supposed to break down and (at some unknown point) degrade to the point of exploding? How could it be that precise?
Using "Robin" as a name for Batman's unofficial assistant...cute. Not clever, not interesting, not in line with characters who have been Robin in the books...just cute, and stupid.
A MAJOR police officer just lives at his old house? They're hunting cops. I think he'd be found.
On the note of finding people, that seemed to happen VERY easily, even for Bruce after he had been away a long time.
The "Batman voice" is still terrible. At one point he sounds like he's got a major disability of some sort when he says "Citizens". Banes voice is also bad. Distorted Darth Vader.
And more, I'm sure.
