Worse than Prometheus...seriously

Rating: 4/10 (20 July 2012)

I can't believe this is the same director...
I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 previous films but this was a CrapFest.
I found myself asking questions throughout the film, which is a disjointed, boring, batless flick...when he does show up, it's not very interesting...the bat, I'm afraid, has lost his touch...
Ingredients for DARK KNIGHT RISES POOP MILKSHAKE>>
1) Swap Wayne Water Device from the first film with a Wayne energy Atom bomb, thats pretty much the story, even with its own timer..also include explosive drains. 2) Add 2+ hours of dull exposition with 20 min of bland/repetitive action scenes. 3) Add the pointless character of Gordon Levitt, {correction}.. replace Batman/Bruce Wayne screen time with Gordon Levitt. Nolan has sold the fans short by catering to the next film in the Bat series by giving this character too much screen time. The character knows who batman is too quick and the audience is asked to make a leap of faith and just go with it.....WTF...Seriously...WTF...some sob story about seeing Bruce at an orphanage...and knowing its batman..blah blah 4) Convolute the story even more by adding in more uninteresting characters, and a last minute villain...that you could see a mile away. 5) Add the compulsory Scarecrow character into the film through a bizarre court scene. 6) Have enemies that can't shoot fully automatic weapons in a straight line. 7) Force in the "Bane breaks Bat storyline", then unconvincingly have Gotham under siege for 5 months. 8) Destroy Gotham Bridges or have scenes involving the Gotham Bridges. 9) Add overwhelming music to try and recover/improve bad scenes. 10) Fail to capitalise on a great baddie in Bane and a great actor in Tom Hardy by one shoting him at the end...cheap O' so Cheap... 11) Have a plot involving cops being trapped underground for 5 months...I call them Mole-cops, thats trademarked! 12) Have an atom explosion scene in the end that rivals Indiana and the poop skull. 13) Have Gotham cheering (even as the radiation cloud is blown towards Gotham).
I could continue... but I'm so underwhelmed, I have to try and remember to breath.
