Very disappointing..

Rating: 3/10 (20 July 2012)

This for the most part was a bad film (and I was a huge fan of Dark Knight)... The editing,pace and rhythm was all wrong with certain scenes chopped up to lose their impact and other scenes like the jail was overplayed and just came off really cheesy. Then you combine this with Bane who just doesn't work outside of a comic as no acting can be done through the mask. But perhaps the biggest let down was there was no growth of the characters to engage you to care what was going on (again due to I suspect bad editing) .... leaving it all a bit dull and uninspiring (and without a lot of the film with Batman not even making an appearance)... Was there redeeming features yes..its not a total travesty but as mentioned the whole thing to me at least felt like an edit rescue desperately trying to make a coherent story out of countless hours of film.
On leaving a full cinema just I found it interesting that so many snippets of discussion of people leaving disliked the film (or commented on disappointment)finding it a bit cheesy and dull.
