This has to be one of the big disappointments of the year - a 2.5 hour conveyor belt ride to Snoozeville. It had none of the high-energy excitement and pizazz of the Avengers, and none of the depth of this year's Spidey film. Instead, it just hovered somewhere in the middle, kind of like a flatline on a heart monitor. When are some Hollywood bigwigs going to the get the fact that packaging together the top 20 macho clichés from the past 50 years does not make for a compelling story? When are they going to realize that it's disappointing to go to a big budget film in 2012 and find out the whole thing is essentially a remake of Rocky III (the Clubber Lang one). Honestly, I half expected the villain Bane to turn to the camera and say, "I pity the fool!" Only, in this case, the fool was me.
