Wow, was The Dark Knight Rises ever a let down.
Coming off The Dark Knight, this movie had high expectations, and it probably wasn't going to meet them, no matter what. But it should've been better than this.
The mere premise that we pick up eight years after the last movie, and Batman has just retired, took me out of the movie right away.
Then there's the ridiculous concept, that Bruce is physically disabled, and can still be Batman.
On top of that, I thought Bane was an underwhelming villain. And his villainous plot was just ridiculous.
There was some cool action scenes. And I did like like Anne Hathaway, as Catwoman. But there just wasn't enough for me to give this movie a positive score.
It's not the worst Batman movie. But that's not say much.
