Well, I had the highest hopes when I headed to the cinema. I loved, I really loved The Dark Knight, thought it was the best hero/comics movie ever made. So you can imagine I would like to see something that at least compares with that. Boy was I wrong... my disbelief was growing as the movie passed on.

So, I'm not telling you the story, you can see it on every other post. I will tell what did not make sense on the movie:

• the entrance scene, although visually stunning, makes absolutely no sense. - officer Blake has a pointless role, that should have been done by Gordon. - The script is full of holes and inconsistencies like shifting from day to night in minutes or motives for the villains... - the prison is ridiculous. - the plot itself is not very fresh - a bomb with a timer.. common. - Bane's fights were so badly acted, and the villain's deaths just stupid. - Batman itself hardly appears. - The music, from the great Hans Zimmer, actually got annoying on this movie, it was overly used, no time to breath.

What I liked about it: - visually still very very good; - Michael Caine amazing as ever; - Anne Hathaway was actually very good for her part; - the stock market scene was well done, and I liked the trials; - the ending after the climax, was pretty good.

In conclusion, Nolan failed on the script on which he actually tends to be very good. It seemed sloppy, and sometimes the characters were doing stuff with no point what so ever. The story itself is predictable and the only twist that was put there, actually did worse the better to the movie.

I would have given 7.6 to Batman Begins, 9.1 to The Dark Knight and this one a 6.2 at most. It actually ruined a bit the trilogy that was very good.

Hope Nolan gets back on his feet and writes like his other movies, because this is surely not the way to go. I also cannot believe how this movie is rated as 8.9. People expect too little these days.
