Neither The Film We Deserved Nor The One We Needed.

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2012)

Encumbered by near-impossible expectations & unprecedented hype that rarely any other movie has been subjected to in the 21st century, The Dark Knight Rises not only disappoints as a weak sequel but is a shockingly weak standalone film too. A bloated, disjointed & convoluted mess from start to finish with so many plot holes & mind-numbingly stupid moments that it has to be the director's most flawed film to date. And it is.
