Wow. And not in a good way.

Rating: 1/10 (26 July 2012)

Hype. That was all there was to this film Hype. Pure and utter deliriously deluded hype!
How could something so obviously bad, get a 9.1 rating? Seriously? The Dark Knight was a good enough movie. I think Heath Ledger made it so. Not to say he carried the whole film, but yea you do miss the presence of such an enigmatic, deep, three- dimensional character, when you have to sit through almost 3 hours of flat, clichéd, unbelievably boring horrible acting. And if you want an actual moment, did you see the Tate death? She did the most over the top, unrealistic death scene. It was basically the textbook "say-my-last(CLICHED)-words" then literally splutter to my death!
On top of the horrible acting was the fact that it was backed by a very weak script. You couldn't take a step in the movie without your foot falling into a massive plot hole. They seemed to want to get everything they had about Batman and just cram it into the last part of the trilogy. I understand they wanted to cap stuff off, end things, put stuff to rest, but by the end of it, any sane person will be left wondering... What the HELL, did I just watch! The film was bloated, and full at it seams with characters who should really not have had more than 5 mins screen time max.
Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, was a JOKE! Like anybody else I expected Catwoman to ooze sexuality, danger and power yet I was left holding back my urge to groan and yell at her absolute lack of an au naturale "femme fatale"-ness. Her persona was too put on, and very unbelievable.
I was with my boyfriend, who is a massive Comic fan, and he was begging me to leave by the one and a half hour mark. I wanted to stay and to see how they would finish this (and to be honest at that point, I was wondering when the "climax" of the movie would decide to show up") I should have left when he wanted to, because for every minute the movie ticked over the two hour mark, I was getting angrier and angrier. Before that I had an open enough mind, hoping that the movie would explode something spectacular and yes I expected something to move me like TDK did, but no. Nothing. Nada. The first hour could have been collapsed into a ten minutes and they literally would not have lost anything.
There was just too much wrong with it, that even pointing out the good is not worth it. There really is no point. All the people ignoring the glaringly obnoxious negatives and just highlighting the few good parts are truly just sad fans who are so blinded by the hype, that they neglect to use actual taste to really see what this movie is about. And when you look at it through my eyes, it's not about much, except, making money out of blind followers.
