I love what Nolan did with the Batman story. Batman Begins was great, The Dark Knight was simply a brilliant masterpiece; so I went into the cinema full of expectation for this third and final installment.

I was a bit let down. It was a good stand alone movie, but with a poor story even if it had not been the final of the trilogy. Again it had a great cast that did their job well, though their characters this time around were quite flat and two-dimensional.

It was definitely not, as great as The Dark Knight and I especially did not appreciate how Nolan carelessly destroyed what he had Batman and Gordon build with their sacrifices at the end of the second movie, as if it was a bad mistake. Surely, he could have exonerated Batman in a different way without turning his hard work and sacrifice into nothing, by bringing out the truth about Dent.

Overall, the story felt as if it was put together in a hurry, and the movie did not feel very solid as a whole. Maybe it will look better the second time around, though I highly doubt it. The mistakes in editing didn't help much either, but will not insert spoilers here.

Again, an OK movie though a disappointing end to the trilogy; it could and should have been better.
