Unfortunately this film was another case of a sequel that failed to live up to the previous titles, a huge budget and lots of explosions did little to cover up the glaring plot errors and sometimes yawn worthy dialogue.I never expected this film to fully live up to the great performances in the dark knight, however this film gave us nothing new and the acting seemed wooden and cheesy at times bar some great performances from Tom Hardy. The length of the film was at best boring and at worst self indulging, it had the feeling of a film that was already patting itself on the back for being a masterpiece before actually being so. In all a disappointingly average Hollywood film from a director who is known for giving us more.
