It Could Have Been One of the Greatest Movie Trilogies Ever

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2012)

Ladies and gentlemen I knew from the very end of this movie that I was on the fence about whether I liked the movie or not. It wasn't until I watched the movie on the small screen that I was able to sit down and watch the movie without the blaze of sound effects and the giant screen, to see what the movie actually was... a let down.
I don't even really know where to start. I guess it will be with the story. The story was nothing all too groundbreaking. It has all the same stuff as Batman Begins and The Dark Knight but it seems to be a little lack luster. Bane isn't really the menacing character that he could have been. The major dubbing that was done with his voice made him sound over the top Shakespearean and I just couldn't take it. I never really was sold on Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle and was even less impressed with the terrible one liner (Cat got you're tongue?)from her and from every other character(So that's what that feels like?).
I also want to add that the last hour of this movie is just complete crap. The way Bane gets taken out is lame, the bomb being carried off by the Batcopter into the ocean is lame, showing that this character that we had started to like was actually Robin was by far the LAMEST part that Christopher Nolan added. Especially since I thought he said there wasn't going to be a Robin in the movie.
Overall, I felt that the movie wasn't made with the serious frame of mind as The Dark Knight was. The previous two movies in the trilogy were fantastic and while they have their great themes in it I think the 99% that was supposed to be represented in this movie really took a back burner to the complete lunacy of the whole movie. I've often had to compare it to The Avengers this year and I typically say this, " The Avengers is a movie that knows it's not serious and doesn't try to be serious, The Dark Knight Rises was a movie that was supposed to be serious and came out comical. I'm fully prepared to take heat from the haters out there and I just want to say I couldn't care less. Enjoy the movie if you like but I hated this terrible movie.
