The only thing that was risen in this movie was my contempt for blockbusters that fail to meet expectations. On the positive side, Ann Hathaway captured the pure essence of the Catwoman with her relationship with the Batman. But other than a few memorable vehicle scenes and one nice plot twist this film flopped as the conclusion of a series that was in a serious tailspin since the first one. The fighting scenes were absurd and not exciting. Gotham City was clearly New York, which was distracting, and I felt that some CGI could've have given Gotham it's own feel. Bane's origin was told in Cliff's notes fashion and there was no adequate explanation given why he wanted Gotham to be destroyed. He was made out to be a one dimensional bad guy with a mask bent on evil destruction. At times his speech was not incoherent and sounded muffled, which was doubly hard to understand since you could not see his mouth moving when talking. Although the end tried to get the audience excited by hinting at a different direction the franchise could take, I was merely happy this 2 hour and 45 minute dud was finally over.
Cons slow, poor storyline, predictable, one dimensional characters, poor drawn out fight scenes
