I was expecting a 9.5-10/10. I got a 9.5 so I'm very pleased.

I'm gonna have to go back and watch it again because when everything is reconciled I felt like I missed something throughout the movie. Everyone who went with me said that the characters weren't really introduced until the end but I still think I definitely missed the cues. The acting was well done except for some minor things but they still bothered me none the less. I'll try to keep it spoiler free:

1. Batman's voice. Was it really necessary to use the gutter voice for the last half of the movie?
2. One of the death scenes towards the end. Seemed really bad. I'm sure you'll know which one I mean.

But all in all it was a fantastic movie, highly recommended. Question for everyone whose seen it:

Bane's in Diablo man, didn't ya know?

He plays that uh... guy that does... that thing... you know that thing... that I sent you...

You didn't think that Bane didn't sound almost exactly like Deckard Cain?

RETIRED.

i haven't seen it yet

Now I understand.

Saw it.

Fantastic.

Ah the horadric cube

Was good, not great. Villain twist and killer croc nod made me squeal like the fangirl I am; middle was long and could've been edited down 50%.

The ending was solid though, but Alfred has horrible taste in liquor.

Definitely a little disappointed, would rather watch TDK or The Avengers again.

what croc nod? I missed it.

Crocodile in the sewers. JGL to Oldman. I was the only person who got it when I saw it :/

Oh, and THE SCENE was pretty much perfect. Cringe worthy but that's how it's supposed to happen.

I was peeing, missed the croc thing entirely. gonna see it again anyway.

It was okay, maybe even good. It had a lot of entertainment value, but as far as it being so well-made as to be worthy of being called "art" like TDK was, it fell short to me. It felt like there was way too much fat on the movie rather than the lean, tight film TDK was. I didn't really feel like Young Police Officer Guy, Talia, nor Catwoman really added anything to the film, it would have been better if Nolan focused simply on Batman and Bane, and to a lesser extent Gordon and Alfred (the latter of which had the most legitimately emotional scenes in the movie, and deserved more screen time). In fact, I'm almost certain YPOG and Catwoman were put in there for the sole reason of providing a tidy ending in lieu of Nolan not having the balls to actually kill off Batman/Bruce at the end (which I totally thought he might have the balls to do, since he really didn't pull any punches in TDK). Any other nitpicks are just plot holes, like YPOG intuiting Bruce is Bats because he's Just That Awesome, Bruce somehow teleporting back to Gotham, and the nonexistent reason why Bane and the League of Shadows just didn't blow up Gotham the moment they had the chance (blow up Gotham now? LOL, no, I think we'll just wait half a year for the bomb to blow up on its own, but not only that, we're gonna get caught in the blast, just for shits and giggles, guys! >.>).

To sum it up, I loved Bane's line, "Victory has already defeated you.", said when fighting Bats, but in the context of the movie, it just doesn't mean anything. There's not enough exploration of Bruce's downward spiral into complacency in the past eight years or him forgetting what it meant to be Batman whilst desperately hanging on to it during that time, which in turn really weakens the power of the whole theme of him "rising" after being broken. Bane's line should've summed up the theme the whole movie was dedicated to, but, alas...too much screen time dedicated to fat and bloat. Instead, we get things like Catwoman scenes that are basically there just to set up one-liners. Sigh. It was fun and entertaining, but it wasn't art, and it wasn't better than TDK.

definitely the weakest of the three.

Don't like the ass-pull because it fucks with the flow and detracts from Bane.

Everyone is conveniently in the exact perfect place at all times. It's fine when Batman does it because that's his thing, but fucking Blake, Gordon, and Selena as well? Nop.
Movie is strong for the first two acts. Then you kinda just sit around waiting for Batman to become a character again.
Also, the whole "I let all the inmates out into Gotham" plot point would have completely changed the movie if Heath Ledger were still alive. If you let the Joker out of prison, he takes over the fucking plot. That is not up for debate. The only reason the plot could continue undeterred is because of real life.

If destruction exists, we must destroy everything.
