Whilst I enjoyed the first two Nolan Batman efforts, I cannot understand why the IMDb rating is so high for this film. Many other reviewers are gushing over a film that is

1. Far too long and bloated 2. Contains many embarrassingly clichéd one liners 3. Dilutes the aura surrounding the Batman character

I applaud the fact that this film was shot and finished on film, not digitally, so it LOOKS great, but it is nowhere near Nolan's best work. It had some clever and huge set pieces, but failed to shown any heart. The second movie had set it up for a stunning return of the Bat, but instead tried to be too smart. The ending in particular, was not emotive at all, just sugar coated.

I was squirming in my seat at much of the twee dialogue. And, Batman, get yourself a new voice coach - you sound hilarious, are you supposed to be?
