Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (29 December 2012)

Im a big comic fan and Batman is one of the big one's and so far I loved the recreation of the Batman movies. The first one was awesome and the second one almost as good but now that I finally got the time to see the third one I must say I walked away disappointed.
Not sure where to start but lets try from the beginning. Some funny talking guy in a mask hijacks and kills a bunch of people on a plane to kidnap a scientist. One which he had already pretty much in his possession but I guess he wanted to prove that he is some kind of bad- ass by killing a bunch of CIA people on a plane. Mmkay... doesn't make much sense to me but I guess it was an excuse for a "big" beginning.
Then it moves on with Batman allegedly retired because people didn't need him anymore. Now why a huge cosmopolitan city didn't need him anymore begs the question why they needed him in the first place? I guess to get rid of the Ras Al Ghul threat and then the Joker but those two were hardly the only opponents of Batman but apparently in the movies they were? Mmkay...
But then this new psycho bad guy comes to come and finish Ras Al Ghul's work but the way he does it was way to convoluted. Something about some fusion technology and how it can be turned into a bomb but he seems pretty capable to bomb the city to ruins without it so why he needs a fusion bomb from it does again not make much sense. But I guess they need a plot so let's move on.
I have to say that this psycho mask guy was pretty scary, despite of his funny voice, and he seemed to be a full fledged psycho, terrorist. However in the end it turns out that he was just some stooge for some diabolical women who was the real person behind it all. Yeah you know political correctness, feminism and all that where girls can dish it out as much as guys. Alright I guess but the problem is that she was never nearly as convincing as this Bane guy (psycho mask guy) so it all just feels contrived just to capture the female audience.
To top it of we now also got a female heroines, and I use that therm loosely, because she was just a self serving crook who steals and betrays Batman but for some inexplicable reason Batman somehow forgives her not only once but twice!
Yep she robs Batman and then somehow he still trusts her but then she betrays him but still after having his back broken and thrown into a jail he trusts her yet again? Makes no sense at all but again it seems to be a motive her to catch the female audience because she is your typical condescending, self-serving girl who we are now told is alright for women to be like because they are just surviving in a male dominated world... I think I am going to puke.
The ending was alright I guess but no explanation given to how a junior cop is supposed to take over as Batman. Where will he get the training and motivation for that? Bruce spent years in various criminal organizations and trained in a highly fanatical, militaristic assassination clan before he became Batman but this guy is just a normal cop. Again does not make any sense at all and I think it was just put there to continue squeezing money from the Batman IP.
Terrible and a very disappointing "ending" to an otherwise excellent trilogy.
