I've seen "The Dark Knight Rises" three times now. It doesn't get any better but it doesn't get any worse either. The main problem this movie has is its cast. It's like a Who's Who list of annoying/uninteresting actors. None of them bring anything to the table. (As far as the always overrated Tom Hardy goes, any of the guys who played Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers could have done Bane just as well.) Another problem is the length. It takes nearly three hours to build up to an unexciting and unsatisfying finish. Despite a few good moments, "The Dark Knight Rises" ends up being an endurance test. Dishonorable mention: making Michael Caine cry.
