Awful, laughable... Shows that Nolan is only human

Rating: 2/10 (8 April 2013)

This review will have spoilers.
First off I loved the first two movies of the series. I like the second movie better but the first was also a welcomed gem. Now we're talking about the 3rd movie here and it is a stinker. I almost didn't believe that Nolan directed it and I wondered what the heck happened to Nolan?
Why would he allow such an awful movie and here is the reason he did:
According to an interview with David Goyer (an awesome writer who worked on this project) him and Nolan got "stuck" halfway through the movie with plot devices and concepts because so many elements were involved in the movie. So Nolan told him to take 2 weeks off to clear his head. In those two weeks Goyer came up with the idea and story for "Man of Steel", the Superman movie coming out soon. Goyer showed Nolan the idea and Nolan loved it. After that Nolan and Goyer pretty much put The Dark Knight Rises on autopilot and worked on Superman because they knew The Dark Knight Rises it would be a money maker regardless of the piece of trash it ended up being.
Now the movie itself is trash but Nolan fan boys are being fan boys and eating it up for some reason. I can picture Nolan and Goyer laughing their butts off about that fact. So basically all positive reviews of Dark Knight Rises come from Nolan fan boys or from critics/media people that want to work with Nolan in the future. The rest of us however are not afraid to call this movie what it is, which is an abomination.
So finally my review:
The reason I gave this film 2 stars is because the last 15 minutes of the movie was good...or had good enough action and because the acting in the movie was solid. It is a shame that such good acting was wasted on this movie. What is wrong with the movie you ask? Almost everything; the plot is easy to understand but so stuffed with details upon of details that are just there to cover plot-holes that are almost unbearable and translate in to a movie that is mostly talking. Talking about plot devices that are only there to push the movie along. Plot devices need to be in a movie for character growth or major themes or something other than pushing the movie along. So basically this movie was just a bunch of outstanding actors standing around talking about stuff. Talking about stuff you frankly wouldn't give a penny about if it wasn't for just movie the plot along. MAYBE if it was a 8 hour movie then this could have been better because it would give people the chance to care about the characters, plot, themes and etc. I hope Nolan learns from this mistake because it KILLED this movie. That is why I am so upset with the fact that people try to defend this movie! Please don't do that! Nolan has to learn from his mistakes.
Lets talk about Bane. Bane played by that guy from Inception (he is also playing Mad Max in the upcoming remake....oh boy..), Bane was the guy that broke Batman's back into comics and you would expect him to be a badass in the movie but that was not the case. I felt like I could have kicked his ass (in fact I really wanted to about 40 minutes into the movie.) He wasn't believable as a badass. He didn't look the part and (maybe because of the mask?) he didn't act the part. Another thing about Bane is that everyone seemed to know who he was before he even set foot in the city. I am not just talking about the FBI; I mean literally everyone one! The cops, Alfred, school kids, random old people..omg I hate this movie so much..
Lets talk about all the mistakes... or lets not because this review is already long. Let us just say there were so many basic mistakes like magical knee braces, easy to fix protruding spinal discs, magical ice and so many others. The problem was that this movie was frankly so BORING that you notice every single mistake.
Lets talk about Alfred. He left Bruce. Umm...yeah... Wait, wait.. lets examine this. Basically they needed a way to get rid of him while Batman was taken by Bane (revenge of the plot device!)
Yeah this movie sucked. I could write a book about all the problems with this movie.
By the way this movie sucked. If you were lucky enough not to have seen it then wait for it to come out on TNT. Don't even watch it on HBO because you'll need the commercials. I am not kidding I wish I had the commercials during this piece of..
