(SPOILERS!!!!!!)The Dark Knight Rises was really disappointing (and kind of dumb)

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2013)

SPOILERS!!!!! Let me assure you I'm a huge fan of Nolan's Batman films, Batman Begins was good 7/10 and The Dark Knight was great 8.5/10. But on the other hand, The Dark Knight Rises was really really disappointing and REALLY overrated. This movie had good things and ALLOT of inconsistencies. The movie had some really good performances, especially from Tom Hardy as Bane and Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle and also from Michael Caine (what little there was of him). Bane was a great villain he was ruthless, intimidating, was always one step ahead and you could tell Tom Hardy was having fun with the role, the only downside was his voice, it sounded really annoying and just laughable, I really couldn't take him seriously in some parts. Anne Hathaway did a great job as Catwoman being slick, sexy and always going back and forth, probably the best Catwoman I've seen on screen (sorry Michelle Pfeiffer). The soundtrack was fantastic and had some really neat shots. OK I'm done praising the movie now to get dirty.
THIS MOVIE IS RIDDLED WITH PLOT HOLES!!!! And I'm going to point them out (in no particular order)
How was Bane able to find Batman's armory if Luscious Fox stated that it was "off the books"? How did Bruce Wayne get into Gotham City after he SOMEHOW escaped the country?Why did GCPD send down most of their police force?How come the police force don't have beards when they got out of the hole?WHY DOESN'T BATMAN TALK NORMALLY TO SELINA KYLE OR ANYONE WHO KNOWS HE'S BATMAN??HOW DID BATMAN SURVIVE THAT NUCLEAR EXPLOSION IF HE HAD 4 OR 5 SECONDS TO ESCAPE??!The scientist was able to make a nuclear bomb in less than a minute?Why didn't the CIA check whom they brought on board before leaving Russia? How come Bruce Wayne doesn't check his employees before his stuff gets stolen by Kyle?Even though the nuke left the city before blowing up wouldn't it still destroy most of Gotham? The blast radius could affect the city? Also the film is poorly paced and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character is really underdeveloped. Also WHERE'S BATMAN FOR THE FIRST HOUR AND 30 MINUTES OF THE FILM?? Now let me say this is in no way a bad movie or good movie, it's a really disappointing movie. Even though the ending was really bad, I don't the film isn't terrible overall, I mean it isn't as bad as Batman and Robin that's for sure.
