O.o...

I was nitpicking, didn't want analysis.

Edit: Watching it again, if Talia had just worn a seatbelt, she would've survived.

The fat chick did some horrible acting in this movie and her character was presented like she had been in the previous movies but she hasn't, so the "reveal" that she's actually the BAD GUY doesn't really work.

Anne Hathaway managed to not look super ugly in this movie which is a first for her.

Bane was pretty cool. Probably on par with Joker, I'd say.

Too few scenes with Batman.

Too long buildup with boring stuff happening/being explained.

What was up with Alfred? Man up.

How did Talia's dagger pierce Batman's body armor? Close-range bullets can't even do that shit.

Why did Bane's boys feed the police in the tunnels? And why did they also, apparentely, give them razorblades and shaving cream?

7/10. Batman Begins is still the best superhero movie ever.

I was so excited for this movie, but it let me down. I did not even clap at the end, because I had several reasons why it could have been much much better. This is the first time I have seen something so un-christopher nolan like, and it seems to me because of heath ledger's death; it threw them off track. The thing that irritated me the most were the characters. Anne Hathaway was absolutely amazing, her performance was spot on, however her character was extremely shallow. There should have been some sort of backstory to her, something more that can help us understand her better besides the "robinhood" aspect. Second, Bane started off very interesting. His opening scene was badass, however as the movie progresses his intentions become more and more unclear. Bane is supposed to be strong and brutal, but instead is portrayed as a character with wit and intelligence. Fine, I can accept that, but even then we are left unsure of WHY he wants to do things. What are the REAL reasons behind them? In the previous two movies, they were clear. Joker wanted fun, he wanted chaos, he wanted to prove that people were like him on the inside. Ra's al Ghul was about fear and justice, what is bane? I cannot figure it out, why does he want to inspire hope and then kill for no reason? He has shown that he is a somewhat compassionate character since he saves talia in the pit? Then last but not least Talia, she makes sense, after re-thinking about her actions her reasoning is sound and her motives were understandable. However, because her betrayal was so sudden, and her character is so weak it is not compelling. This is a recurring theme in this movie for me, weak characters. Saying she wanted to carry on her father's intentions was fine but it did not involve me( because we practically know nothing about her), and I was put off by it. I think it would have been better if Bane was better developed, but since both are so weak there is no where for me to look for positives.

After the characters, I had two more issues. I thought the climb up the pit could have been so fucking epic, but instead what we recieved was a single stare and jump. Then he just climbs out, wow I would have never expected that from christopher nolan... It could have been a slow and brutal climb, with the sun giving him hope and blinding him, the bats taunting him, and hans zimmer carrying the scene... so much potential gone right there. Then there is the ending of the movie, EVERYTHING in the movie leads up to his death. There are so many instances where it forshadows his death. He even tells Anne Hathaway, no auto-pilot, then somehow survives a 6 mile explosion. Michael Caine gives a great performance at his grave, and then boom all undone when we realize he is alive, felt trolled. Maybe DC comics did not allow such a drastic decision, but it did not feel right.

That is basically what I felt about the movie, it lacks a coherent plot, has weak characters and is lengthy. A lot of it feels to me like the joker had a big part in the third movie and that is basically what I believe was the reason for this let down. On top of this we have some very amazing cinematography and hans zimmer. Let me repeat the last part : Hans Zimmer, carried this movie.

Last nitpick is Bane's voice, especially when he was giving his speeches. I was almost laughing, it is Bane... supposed to be brutal and short, but what we got instead was Deckard Bane. 7/10

But I still think Batman and Robin has been the closest to the Batman Universe

Close to the batman universe in that the movie plays like a comic book reads. That's a bad thing dude.

Comics are comics and movies are movies.

Batman and Robin was a TERRIBLE movie. Sure if you put that same cast and plot in a cartoon or comic book it's ok but that movie was never something that should have put in a movie theater shot with a live action cast.

Also.

George Clooney was by far the worst Batman there's ever been.

The end would have been so much better if in the second to last shot they just showed Alfred smiling and nodding, and then cut to Robin. I was sitting there saying to myself "please don't show Bruce please don't show Bruce' :-(
