There is so much wrong with this film, I don't even know where to start.

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 2013)

First off let me say my rating of this movie is based solely on the fact that this is called a BATMAN movie. As a Batman movie, this film failed miserably. There are so many why would you do that to tarnish and damage the legacy of Batman moments, it is simply mind blowing. Bane was so stupid. I liked Bane's characterization in the film, BATMAN AND ROBIN, better then here. I love the animated series of Batman, and the Bane episode is so good and so spot on as Batman is concerned. He is highly intelligent and sounds like it. This movie makes him sound like a cross between Darth Vader and a bad Sean Connery. WTF, Why would you do that? The story in and of itself did not bother me, For the most part it was fine. But come on Alfred abandoning Bruce Wayne, NO! never it would never ever happen, that was sacrilege, and beyond forgiveness. The realization of Talia is way too abrupt, and it left me scratching my head. The link to Rac Al Ghul and Talia hating her father then the about face in like 30 seconds did not work. Gordon finding out Bruce Wayne is Batman, NEVER! And Catwoman - No explanation was given at all for her appearance, that made her redemption completely empty, because we nothing about this character. And of course Scarecrow's waisted cameo, with no mask by the way. Then there was the realization of is it Robin? It was such a quick moment if you blinked you'd miss it, like oh by the way, but no big deal. In fact nothing seemed to be a big deal in this movie. Everyone was just kind of going through the motions. And oh my god the movie was a thousand hours long, and you could feel it. Surely there was a way to tighten up the film. There was so much waisted potential in this film that was just thrown in the garbage thanks to Nolan. And I believe he did this just out of spite because he did not want to do another Batman film, So he said OK I'll mess it up so badly that no one will be able to fix it. We Batman fans deserve better then that. With all that said, I have to admit, If this were a movie under any other title than Batman, the film would have actually worked. In my eyes This was a BOND movie dressed up to look like a Batman movie.
