I am not exaggerating when I say that this is one of the most boring films that I have had the displeasure of watching this year. I am very glad I sneaked into the cinema to watch this, otherwise I would be writing an angry letter to the writers to ask for my $18 back.

It was nearly 3 hours of boredom. I literally had to stop myself from falling asleep about an hour in. I struggled through, expecting something spectacular towards the end, but to no avail. The fight scenes were shockingly bad and although well choreographed, lacked any realism (e.g. I didn't see one drop of blood on anyone after they had been shot multiple times). Also every single scene where Bane speaks you have to listen very hard to understand what the **** he is saying.

I am not just writing this review because I don't like Batman. I loved the 1997 film, Batman and Robin and I could watch that again and thoroughly enjoy it.
