There was no reason why this silly comic book movie should be nearly three hours long . With proper editing they could have shaved this film down to 90 minutes without losing any memorable scenes . So what do you expect when you see a super hero movie anyway ? Yes, an endless amount of fight scenes , chase scenes, machine guns blazing , rockets flying everywhere , doomsday plots , sub-plots , neck twisting , cops running every which way , innocent school children looking very bored on a bridge , one liners , minor romances, and so on and so on . Anyway ,the only thing I came away with after the movie was over was : Catwoman was very capable and sexy , Batman was the king of all mumblers , and Bane was a fairly entertaining and cruel villain that sounded a lot like Sean Connery . The rest was all water under the Gotham Bridge . My advice to anyone that is not obsessed with comic book super hero movies is : rent the DVD and fast forward through the boring stuff . Don't worry about the silly doomsday plot . You've seen it a million times before ! ...The Dark Knight Rises , Not Hot ( except for Ann Hathaway of course ! ) PWH
