There were things & moments I truly loved here...but the cast was all over the map. Michael Caine and Marion Cotillard were especially disappointing--I don't know what their problem was. If you're into the political underpinnings of these stories you'll likely be confused at both the chaotic, all-over-the-map "philosophy" of this movie and its serious U-turn from the social optimism of the other two films. It was enjoyable but far from perfect. At least Christian Bale got a lot more to do this time around.
Pros well paced, great actors, tom hardy
Cons bad acting
Yes, I recommend this movie.

If I had not seen all the spoilers on the Internet I would not have known WTF was going on after about the first 15 minutes. Some characters' actions to move the plot forward are irritatingly unbelievable. Others are just incomprehensible. The final shot at the end of the movie, which should be shocking, is instead both pointless and ridiculous-looking--the final special effect that's supposed to blow your mind is the only one that is laughably bad. The cast, both famous and unknown, is wonderful down to the last & least. It's a shame all their fine work was wasted on this mess of a story. Boo.
