If I didnt know any better, I would say this was some kind of a big deal. I dont usually check showtimes for midnight releases, but this is the first time I have seen a midnight release with it playing on 17 screens... at one theater....

Incredibly underwhelmed to be honest.

I'm not to up to date with my batman lore, but didn't Batman and Robin like fight together? They can't just do a Robin with Batman retired now can they?

Movie was average. Obvious plot devices plus a pretty average villain and inconsistent character development makes for predictable but well paced movie. Overall definitely much worse than the second one and slightly less than the first.

As for the ending, I can see why people would have issues with it, but it fits within the movie (and some would argue only the movie).

Basically any one expecting the masterpiece (for a comic book movie) of the second will be thoroughly dissappointed. But that does not make this a bad movie by any means.

Well that's disappointing.

Though quite honestly this seems to happen with everything. Rarely does something exceed the quality of its predecessor.

We call such things amazing.

It was a bit predictable, and yes Bane as a villain failed when compared to the joker, and some things were simply just plot convenient, but I felt the ending was rather satisfactory to the series. I'm someone who had not seen Batman Begins and walked into The Dark Knight 3 years ago having no fucking idea that it was a huge deal and was blown away by how amazing it was. I naturally had high hopes for this but tried to maintain them to a reasonable level and I would say if you kept your expectations reasonable the movie delivers in that regard.

I was pretty disappointed.

In a vaccuum it's not a half bad action flick, but after the masterpiece The Dark Knight was this movie falls way, way short.

It was no Dark Knight, but still an enjoyable movie. Surprisingly, Cat Woman and Blake were my favorite characters in the movie. Also, Marion Cotillard seemed so out of place/bad in this film. She was fine in Inception, but her scenes in this movie just didn't seem right. And what the fuck, her big reveal fucked over everything they had built Bane up to be. The Blake reveal was also probably my favorite part of the film.

Such a disappointment imo.

Batman = Superman this movie.
Climax really happens like an hour in the movie. The rest of the movie is so obvious and predictable minus the small twist at the end that really had no impact.
Ending was cute.

7/10 Max

Although no one could match the performance of Heath, I thought that it was an overall better movie.

It saddens me that so many people found this movie very disappointed. The arguments some of you are making go doubly, if not more, for, say, Avengers. I by no means disliked the Avengers (I thought it was fucking fantastic from an entertainment perspective, which in hind sight is all superhero stories were meant to be at first), but it was infinitely more predictable from a plot and the character development was average at best imo. A lot of it wasn't canon, but I rather like the Batman plots and character webs Nolan's spun. His take on it feels the closest to how Batman SHOULD be represented.

I thought it was a great ending to the trilogy overall. It was well worth the 9.50 I paid to see it and worth however many instances of 9.50 I fork over to see it again in the coming weeks. I'd also venture to say that it was a better movie than ~90% of the movies they've shown over the summer or plan on releasing throughout the year (obvious exceptions being The Hobbit and Skyfall imo). Just go see it. If you walk out of the movie feeling happy and thoroughly entertained, then to me, it seems like money well spent, which is more than you can say for a plethora of movies these days (here's to you Katy Perry: Part of Me).

They should have just left the Talia character the hell out of this movie. The revelation scene just made Bane look so small and his motivations so lame/weak.

* Sigh *.Decent at least but definitely not amazing if you have already watch BB and TDK.

Shouldn't have such high expectation.=.=
Honestly though before the movie,i thought Anne Hathaway would failed as Catwoman but somehow she pulled it off quite well with her own touch of style.

Not gonna go into details and lazy to spoiler it.
Batman is Batman.
If you like generic straightforward terror-type guy, then you probably like Bane but i find him boring.
So yeah Joker top Bane anytime in terms of excitement and what not.
Pacing of the movie is well done but it becomes slower and stagnant at certain point.

Overall,the ending was satisfactory but it could have been better.

7/10.

Was hoping for a Joker cameo or some sort.........

I loved it. I'm not going to try to argue with anyone who didn't because I just genuinely cannot understand where they are coming from.

Also Anne Hathaway. Damn. I nearly made a mess of myself when she pinned that guys gun up against the wall with her heel. So damn hot.

I liked it overall. Perhaps doesn't feel as "new" as TDK did but it's a good ending to the trilogy. And I actually liked the Bane's character development. 8/10. Just go and see it.
