I am not sure what everyone is raving about with this movie. First, I do think Christian Bale is a very good actor. Ann Hathaway was partially believable, but can not top Kate Beckingsale with her fight scenes. Morgan Freeman, had the funniest line in the movie when he said "I like your girlfriend" in light of the revelation of him marrying his step granddaughter. I found that too funny. But he is always and has always been one of the most boring actors around, same type character in every movie, no stretch appeal.

This movie is boring, too long, jumps from scene to scene with no connection since continuity was not managed and professional editing was lacking, set production is lackluster, "star wars" car scenes and Independence Day battle scenes are so 1990s, this movie is just full of holes and stupidity.

I don't see the purpose of Batman in this movie at all...he is in it about 5 scenes at the most (ok just kiddin.). But his fight scenes with Bane just keep on and on and on without ending or purpose. who was the editor? he/she should not be allowed to edit again or should take that course again in Film School.

In closing, the connection to Robin for the next movie was not well thought out or connected to the plot. I do like Joseph Levitt and his section on the orphans was the best part of the movie. Sheesh Hollywood is going to keep making these movies and make money based nothing more than the "Batman" brand!

A "reel" waste of time and money.
