Considerably less "NOLANISH" than the previous Batman Movies

Rating: 5/10 (3 August 2012)

Yes, even though the critic has been really good, in my opinion this movie hasn't been so good. Before arguing why I think this, I just have to say that this was a very, VERY awaited movie, and that could prompt a more careful critic than with other films. Its just that if we have received Masterpieces from Nolan, we just want another Masterpiece as simple as that!. Now, why do I think this was a slightly bad film?. Well, the reason is simply because Nolan didn't respect the style he previously developed, and what's that style?... The Realistic/Dark Superhero Style. What traits does this Great Style include?: 1. Profoundity of the main characters. 2. Great Acting, that complements perfectly the complexity of the characters (and a great sense of realism in the behavior, ideas and gestures of the characters) 3. Realistic weapons, effects, combat strategy, and also influential economical and political situations 4. The sense of surprise given by the fact that, Anything can happen! (because being realistic, you don't become attached to a happy ending.
So, we'll just have a review of how did the movie failed in maintaining this style. Here it goes a series of facts in the movie that... are no good:
First, there is a considerable problem with the plot: If Bane and Miranda wanted to destroy western civilization, how would they do that if they only destroy one city? (and they die in the act!!). I mean, they, in the name of the "the league of shadows" (and by this mean they were the only active members of "the league") want to change the course of things in the hole planet, and what they are going to do is exploit NY. Well, that's not enough!, because that certainly would be a massive killing, but with no after Master Plan!. Maybe, an alternative way of managing the plot would have been Bane is got to destroy the city while Miranda continues the plan in the long term.
An important fact of a main Character (like Bane), is that when I hear that, Bane was born in the worst prison in the hole World, I imagine something like the worst prisons of Venezuela. Yeah, it's a shame for me to admit that there is such an Awful Management of the prisons. But the point is, in this prisons there are gangs, weapons, fire combat, raping, slaughter, total corruption, and a complete chaos because there is NO LAW. So, don't tell me, that the Whorst prison in the world is no more than a bunch of old Uzbekistan dudes exhorting others to get out of the prison, like saying "Yeah dude!!, you can do it!". Also an important fact of the character of Bane. If he was born in the worst prison, or we could say, one of the Pits of terror in this Earth he just couldn't have a heart; he surely would be a Hard Psychopath. Even as a way of surviving... But no, now, because we like Soap operas, it seems he Has a heart and well writes Poetry like Neruda inspired by Miranda! (when did this became "the beauty and the beast??).
Another super Unrealistic fact is that, if the cops were trapped underground for like... more than three months!!, they surely would have died or would have committed cannibalism!!.
The war/combat scene, with the cop's running forward like in the Lord of the Rings come on!!, how would the fight like that!!! (I mean, the enemies have guns!, and so did them!). In fact, if you are playing "realistic", you should have thought in a complicated warfare, that surely end when Batman gets the bomb out of the Island! (because the US army would enter an take control over the hole situation)
The acting of Marion Cotillard wasn't very good. Didn't got my attention in the hole movie, (maybe because the film it's not too centered on her), BUT, the dying was so F**ing badly acted!! My god!, the dying of the frogish father in law of Shreck was more touching!!.
Finally, an over-elaborated and cliché happy ending. First, what's the thing with a Kiss in the end?, I mean, I thought this was a movie that would consider realistic situations: So, if there is a Freaking H bomb that is going to exploit, and Im gonna take it out of the island, I better DO IT FAST!!. And if we consider that the character with the decision is a Righteous Bruce Wayne who wouldn't waste time, it doesn't make sense. Second, if they showed Batman in the "Batcopter", and the H bomb exploits, then Batman simply should have died, and don't tell me he could have ejected, an atomic explosion is so freakingly destructive, that affect miles and miles. So the hole "Batman is still Alive to bang Catwoman", is nice, but, then again, against the striking Nolan Style. Like all the other facts.
My final observation is that, there is a fact: the Nolan films are realistic mind blowing "craftworks", and because of that, are very laborious. But, in my opinion, he should have avoided the idealistic- cliché style, and work more on a modest but mind blowing ending for this fantastic Batman trilogy.
