I saw it for a second time and it was slightly better than my initial assessment. The story flowed a lot better upon a repeat viewing, probably because I wasn't actively trying to catch every little detail and allowed myself to sit back and enjoy it for what it was. There were still a few glaring holes in the story and some suspect acting, but I'll bump it's rating up half a point to 7.5/10. Since IMDB doesn't do half stars, I've rounded up and they've scammed a rating of 8 from me.

i gotta see it again too because it sounds like we may have had the same reaction to the first viewing. i loved it but there were definitely some faults. the timeline bugged me a bit--early on we learn bruce has no cartilage in his knees and he's walking with a can...then BOOM---he's batman again! just like that! then his amazingly quick recover from a broken back and suddenly appearing back in gotham (where nobody was allowed in or out), which is halfway across the world, in a matter of (seemingly) hours.....yada yada yada......so there are things you have to overlook in this movie. as a whole, i really enjoyed it. it was dark. gritty. a different feel than the previous 2. overall, while being my least favorite of the 3, i thought it was a great ending to the trilogy. hathaway should get a nod for best supporting actress. in addition to looking muuuuuch hotter than i thought she would in the catsuit, she really nailed the role. she owned every scene she was in. very impressed with her.

i think begins is my favorite then tdk and then tdkr. it's weird because i feel like i gained a whole new appreciation for begins in the past week when watching it to get caught up for the new one. then it was on fx a couple times and I watched it some more. that had the best story of the 3 and ledger had the best performance of the 3. i wish they wouldn't have completely ignored the joker in tdkr. either way---i'm bummed that this incarnation is over with.

i dont know much about nolan's view of things but it seemed to me that the movie had a bit of an anti-liberal slant to it. the whole catwoman/bane being against the evil rich people, but removing the wealth didnt fix any problems just created more. the energy part was the one that got me thinking of this. bruce was so against the 'clean energy' cause it was dangerous and it turns out the only people interested in 'clean energy' didnt care about it for that reason but only for their own personal agenda. sorta what we saw with solyndra and gms volt. bruce was all for a new energy source if it proved safer and more efficient then what they already had. a lot like the boat we are in, lots of promising ideas but its all junk right now, solar, wind, hydrogen...

sooo ... what were the major problems with the timelines?

one second we are fighting in the sewers, next thing we know, batman is in a prison...and then bam, he is healthy in a couple of days.....gets out and is back in gotham before sun down...how does that happen.

overlook some of the corney ness like that and it's a fine movie...but no where near as good as the last one.

How did Batman get back to Gotham? He was in the middle of the desert. No money, no ID, no help from anybody, and he gets into the city that is supposedly blocked off? Where did he get his costume?
