Just got back from The Dark Knight Rises.
The first two hours were excruciatingly boring. It wasn't until talking to Lani after that I realized I may have completely zoned out for a few minutes.
The last 30 minutes or so were a fine action set piece but unfortunately it hinged on something extremely stupid several times over and all of the big reveals had been obvious almost two hours earlier. But it had enough energy to end on a high note.
But I didn't expect Nolan to actually bore me, to wallow in silly cliches, to treat the last movie in the trilogy like the last episode of a long running TV show where every repeating character along the way has to make an appearance (even a couple of the dead ones) and every core member has to have their dramatic curtain call.
So, overall, blech.
