It's not the movie we need or deserve.

I cannot help but feel disappointed because this movie suffered from the very thing I've been worried about all this while.

Spiderman3titis. Blake took too much time away from who I really wanted to watch: Gordon and Catwoman (Hathaway was actually serviceable) took away Bane's.

How do you go from a great one on one battle of wits against Joker to sporadic engagements with Bane the Unintelligible is beyond me?

I really couldn't give a rat's ass bout Talia if this is what they chose to do with Bane.

I'm going to appear like I'm nitpicking but I hope I don't come off looking as whatever it is that you call us these days for daring to voice our criticism against Nolan the Savior.

1) Opening scene lacked the punch of TDK and worse, the realism. I still can't get over the fact that the baddies dropped down on to the plane below without being blown back.

2) Blood transfer scene = Eye roll. That's it? A couple of seconds of blood transfer for the old switch-a-roo and that would actually work? Did they drain the corpse completely before? Wouldn't anyone notice? Wait, is there anything to notice in the first place after a fiery crash? Ugh. I'm just going to forget this happened. Oo! Oo! Little Finger!

3) Bats showing up for the first time on the pod was the best.

4) The fight. That's it?

5) "The siege". Here I am thinking the whole city is under lock down and Gordon and the gang gets to move around a lot more freely than they ever have the right to.

6) Trigger man is one of the people? Sigh. Is this a homage to The Joker?

7) Second fight. That's it? So you couldn't damage his face hugger the first time?

8) There was no tension to Batman's sacrifice. It should have been drawn out but then there's the time factor so it shud have been handled better. I've seen better hero sacrificial scenes in a tv series (24).

9) How the hell did Gordon come out of the truck unscathed? = Eye-roll.

10) They cheapened his sacrifice with the ending we got. Why lie bout the Auto-pilot? Why reveal to Gordon? Why waste time kissing Selena when you cud have jumped into the Bat Wing and get that thing out much faster and come back for celebratory hugs later?

The movie shudn't have been set 8 yrs later. I expected a movie where Bats was being hunted down every second while he engages Bane. Not this hot mess.

And yet I don't hate the movie. I'm just sad about it. Bane should have been fleshed out a helluva of a lot more better and Wayne's death should have been left as a mystery.

I know I sound like a dick but I also understand asking for excellence consistently is a bit too much. You can't always be at the top...always.

I can only thank Nolan for Begins and TDK and for not ruining TDKR too much.

This is how far it took me to get from (click to enlarge)point B, campus edge to point A, Deshi Curry for white rice, chicken curry and beanstalk/cauliflower yesterday afternoon.
