Well, I wasn't expecting it to live up to the Christopher Nolan trilogy, and that is certainly the case. Not so much the actual characters, but poor cinematography choices throughout. The appearance of the batmobile was too focused on the drivers rather than the cars, and I got bored. 3 hrs is too long and the soundtrack was more a GCSE students version of scary music rather than exciting or thrilling superhero. Too few confrontations between Batman and antagonists to make the drama flow, and the unnecessary detail in the 'phone call' tipped the film towards a torture flick. A wasted opportunity, glad my family didn't come with me.
