I don't even know where to begin with dissecting this movie. Out of the three movies by Christopher Nolan, this was just slightly better than 'Batman Begins'. I still feel like 'The Dark Knight' was far superior than both of them combined. The movie was interesting the first hour or hour and a half -- then it just became predictable. It's like they gave up the second half of the movie, and quite possibly fired the writers because the dialogue became very mundane. The movie could have easily been 20-30 minutes shorter, because half of that was unwitty banter and subpar acting. I kept looking at my watch every five minutes hoping this would end soon. While this movie didn't live up to the hype, I still feel like it was a lot better than most of the movies that have come out in the past 5 years or so.
