The Dark Knight Rises: Overview/Review

There are few things that I get excited about and this movie I was really looking forward to seeing. I'm sure most of you have seen it by now and it seems that the general conclusion is that it was a good movie, RT gave it a 87% and meta gave it an 8.6. All my friends who had seen it said it would not let me down, In fact that's exactly what it did do. This movie was one of the biggest disappointments of the year and does not come close to beating The Dark Knight and will go down as an average action movie.

Well what went wrong, I will sum it up really fast.
1)Bane was a really unmemorable character who brought nothing new
2)Bad Plot, half the movie is Bruce being unable to do anything cuz he is getting old and injured and wants to move on(great for an action movie)
3)Cat woman like really fucken really!? nothing there
4)Large amounts of "that wouldn't faken happen moments" like when he hides a fucking helicopter in an ally and before getting to it he creates a ramp out of a truck just waiting there to get to the chopper in the middle of a police chase. At the end when all the cops run at the rebels with guns and some how fucking win unarmed. you get the idea, these moments

There were just to many scenes and characters I didn't like. Whats your view I give it 6.7/10
 
When you consider the previous movies (before this reboot trilogy)... I can't complain. I liked it. And I loved the one with the Joker.

Batman has been a character I've loved since I was a kid. It was an awesome part of my childhood--the action figures, cartoons, toys, halloween costumes, etc. And superman was boring. Batman figured stuff out. He was more realistic and so were his enemies. They weren't God-like, you know?

I do remember wondering one thing after leaving the theater. In the movie, I don't remember them talking a lot about the purpose of Bane's mask. I knew, because I knew the character somewhat. But I imagine if you didn't know the character outside the movie, you would have been a little confused. Especially when it breaks and he starts getting weak.

I think because this was the last one, it also had a fitting ending. To me it didn't kill the series if someone wanted to do more (which I can't imagine happening anytime soon at all). I don't know where you'd take the series after the way Nolan left it to us, but I'm sure someone could... somehow. A spin-off Robin series sounds kind of terrible though, haha.
 
Ive yet to see this movie lol. I own the first 2 on blu ray but never went to see rises in theater. ill prolly be adding it to my blu ray collection soon enough.
