1/10
Injustice to the screenplay quality of TDK.A bad sequel
19 July 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I was initially shocked to see all the first few pages full of 10/10 reviews but after page 7 it seem to be more honest reviews. Its a moment of whether one will agree that the "Emperor is naked". Difficult for fan boys to see the flaws of the movie but i did.

I never followed Batman from young but TDK changed my opinion and made batman my favorite superhero.

TDKR has tremendous responsibility to follow up the good work of batman begins and TDK but it has rather disappointed(me).How many times have we seen this Below-viaduct-under-the-highway chase scenes.Nolan is just reusing all his antiques from the first movie.However one never gets tired of watching this stylish batman's every move.That was yet another hair raising batman intro despite a super long draggy boring opening 30 mins.

Some of the themes are too recurring. The theme of people getting trapped beyond bridges,inmates escaping and causing chaos,explosives and more explosives.When it is used again and again more audience can easily realize some of the logic flaws in those scenes.

Batman is also becoming too fantasy.his flying saucer can hide from government radars and he still can appear and disappear at any place in his very "unnoticable" costume and "small" bike.the scenes were so dragging that i started to purposely notice logic nonsenses.Also during Batman's first escape ,the police cars give him a clear view of the ramp on the highway.There were a hundreds of police cars blocking all angles but give him a clear view to the ramp.Also there were too many scenes of catwoman and batman escaping bullets.Police always have gun pointed but never shoot and eventually let their targets escape.The apocalyptic scenes reminded a little of the very forgettable terminator 4(also has bale)

Also not very sure why Nolan gives this Joseph-Gordon levitt(500 days of summer) too much importance since inception.Anne Hathaway is pretty but it seems like she is a jinx to the current(almost perfect) batman series.her stunts are cool but she is fakingly powerful(and her mask really "conceals" her identity).Gary Oldman is someone i didn't knew b4 batman,an amazing actor together with Micheal Caine,Morgan freeman & Liam neeson.Thanks Nolan for utilizing such a stellar cast...TDK,The prestige and batman begins will remain in my all time favorites list.I will let this movie pass and hope Nolan can make a movie out of the dull-black-white- strong-contrast visuals which is too repetitive and makes his style very predictable.as some others mentioned every scene has to be linked with a flashback,every dialog has to be meaningful.

Nolan did make a fitting end to the legend but somehow the movie experience was not there.saving private ryan(172mins) and titanic(194mins) were lengthy but definitely entertaining and engrossing.
