The Dark Knight Rises review, or How I Learned To Hold On To My Bladder Inside A Freezing Theater

Amidst the numbing cold inside the theater, the grand opening action sequence that cries “Globetrotting international border-crossing spy action-techno-thriller!”, Anne Hathaway’s terribly useless Catwoman portrayal and the said Catwoman’s like-a-puppet-on-a-string-with-marionette-with-arthritic-fingers-controlling-it unbelievable “fight” sequences, illogical plot points within the multilayered story the movie has to offer, crazy-ass car-motorcycle-trucks-choppers-Tumblers(!)-chase sequences, decent fisticuffs (still too close to the camera for my taste, but then again this is not a martial arts film), comic Bane moments, comic Bane comments, always adorable Cillian Murphy’s appearance as The Scarecrow (His cameo in The Dark Knight is hilarious), and annoying editing at times, Bane’s speech delivered with that haunting voice before the storming of Blackgate really added to the shivers. And I cannot help but nodding to some of the points. Okay, some cheesiness in that speech but overall, wheew…
