Great, up until the last 10 minutes

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2019)

I've just watched this movie for the first time since the cinema release. I wasn't impressed then after all the anticipation, but several years later and expecting it to blow hard I found myself enjoying it a lot more. The cinematography the score and the general aura of the whole film grip you, Michael Caine brings tears to your eyes throughout, Gary Oldman and Anne Hathaway bring their typical brilliant acting clout.
But that last 10 minutes or so. Dire.
I'll skim over the fact that anything violent happened away from the cameras focus and was suggested by the foley artist crumpling a packet of crisps and skip straight to the 11 minutes left on a nuclear bomb. After 12 minutes of faffing around there's 1:30 something on the clock and Batman and his friends are just standing listening to Talias dying words with no sense of urgency.
1:17 Catwoman decides to sexually abuse Batman.
1:03 Gordon wants to chat about which A road Batman should take to avoid the rush hour traffic.
0:46 Batman turns the engine over and after 4 attempts manages to pull his seatbelt around without it jamming.
0:23 Batman is finally up in the air and flying a nuclear bomb about to detonate over a bus full of children.
0:05 Somehow he's managed to fly approx 18 miles away from any surrounding land before it explodes. Oh and he got away from it in plenty of time too!!
I mean come on! A whole 2 and a half hours of film and for the last 10 minutes you regurgitate the climax sequences from every single 80's action flick and most of the James Bond franchise. Lazy and rushed Mr Nolan!
And I don't even have the mental energy to get into the whole "You should use your real name, Robin" BLUERGHHH!!!
