I liked the movie but, like Return of the Jedi, it was easily my least favorite of the trilogy.

This movie was way LONG and it didn't need to be. Felt like they had 2 movies on their hands and they tried to cram a less interesting version of the stories into one long film. I would have enjoyed it thoroughly had it not gotten tedious in places. That was probably my biggest complaint. While I liked how it tied in elements from the previous 2, there were SO many flashbacks and back peddling exposition it got cumbersome and lost a lot of momentum.

Ann Hathaway did a decent job. I wanted to hate her and I didn't.

[spoilers]

Bane's back story and the whole Batman rehab sequence was trite, predictable, and, at times, an utter drag. ZZZZZZZzzzzz.

How did the cops trapped under ground for three months not only NOT have beards, but also not have severe muscle atrophy, rickets, and a host of other diseases? The cops should have been an army of gaunt, pale, and barely able to walk zombies. The theater I was in had terrible THX sound and the audio peaked A LOT. I could not understand a lot of what Bane was saying. Maybe they explained the underground cops thing and I did not hear it.

When Catwoman kissed Batman before he flew away with the bomb at the end, there were audible laughs and groans in the theater. "here here!" I said aloud. Sometimes me and the hipsters see eye to eye.

It was nice seeing the Steelers and Heinz Field get blown up. Cept for Hines Ward managing to out run the blast . That bastard would live if it happened for real too. That cat always lands on his feet.

Ward getting offed would have made the movie.

Also love how the Batcopter can withstand direct atomic blasts. They literally nuked the fridge.

First off, you do realize that Batgirl was not in the movie, right?

Secondly, who said the Batcopter survived the blast? After the explosion it was learned that Bruce Wayne had fixed the autopilot on the batcopter... so I took that to mean Batman ejected well before the explosion.

Went to see it friday, we don't get out very often(2 young kids). But we dropped them off at their grandparents and went. 60 min in, power went out and generators kicked in. A lot of eyes were at the emergency exits.
Wasn't raining going in, but a huge storm went through ripping up trees.

Seemed ok up to that point, hope to get back and see the rest.

Trip:
Thought it was ok. Definitely a lot worse than Dark Knight. The chase scene was pretty dumb. Catwoman did all the work and Batman just flew around being dumb. Speaking of which the heli was just an easy escape/easy way to end the movie. Figured that out immediately, especially when they mentioned the autopilot.
