A depressing, shallow mess and a disappointment of epic proportions

I politely disagree; I found this film to be the best of the Nolan Batman films; the trilogy began brilliantly in Batman Begins (the origin story was one of the best there was, Bruce's personal struggles and hardships before becoming the hero we know him as, the dark, gritty feel of Gotham City, etc.), The Dark Knight continued in true excellent form (Heath Ledger's awesome portrayal of the Joker, the themes of self sacrifice, heroism in the face of anarchy, justice prevailing over vigilantism, etc.). Last (but most certainly not least), The Dark Knight Rises delivered a brilliant ending to the trilogy and made it come full circle, while also getting back to the tone of Begins, only now Bruce's struggles are physical as well as mental; he's pushed to the very edge of his limits in this film, spiritually, mentally and physically (by Alfred, Bane, Miranda, Selina and virtually every character). The action in the film wasn't dull in the slightest: it helped moved the story along, same with the script and performances (all of which were top notch, imo). I wouldn't call it unmemorable either; Like Ledger's Joker, Hardy's Bane has become a popular villain with people, and a there are a lot of quoteworthy moments in the film: Bane's Blackgate speech, the "I came back to stop you" line, Bane's speech to Bruce in the pit, Miranda's reveal or as I call it the "knife that cuts deepest" speech, etc.
So, in all actuality, this film is every bit on par with the other two imo.

It's not surprising that Batman's pushed to his limits mentally in this movie, since he's been turned into a moron to serve the stupid contrivances of its plot.

Cause you are such an important person that everyone will take your opinion as being relevant. You are just as delusional as those Nolan fans to think that this was worse than The Avengers for instance. The only problem is that typical comic book fans are looking for crappy action entertaining movies instead of quality screenwriting.
This is depressing, it's an ending, it shouldn't be all happiness, if you want Hulk to turn from an uncontrollable freak to an ally without any explanation and see him save the entire globe without any important victims go and watch The Avengers.
Feel your heart beat. -

Those looking for quality screenwriting certainly didn't find it in this jumbled, nonsensical mess of a movie.
I thought Batman Begins was great and The Dark Knight was good.
I found virtually nothing worthwhile about The Dark Knight Rises.
Requiescat in pace, Krystle Papile. I'll always miss you. Justice was finally served. -

it's not about being a Nolanite, it's the fact that the movie is already successful, whether you like that fact or not. the people in charge already cleaned up, who cares about your opinion now but you? honestly, you come off like a hater, slowly peeling long-soured grapes. maybe if, in your prescience and brilliance in analysis, you'd acted quickly and heroically enough and sabotaged the movie when it was first released, persuading millions not to see it, causing huge financial losses, we wouldn't keep seeing these types of movies. you didn't though, did ya? yeah, keep flapping your gums to no effect.

Or we wanted fight scenes where the bad guys didn't not shoot at batman when they had him at point blank range, bad guys didn't just fall down, no gaping plot holes how Wayne could go bankrupt/the stock exchange opened the day after a major attack, etc.

You proved my point, to you fight scenes and the batsuit are more important than complex character development, symbolism and a strong story.

Well, I can see how a Nolanite is too stupid to understand what I wrote. I didn't say anything about his Batsuit.
I did say that realistic fight scenes would have been nice. Instead, they are an example of how bad this movie is. There are a couple of scenes where guys who are standing 10 feet away from Batman simply fall down.
This shows how lazy Nolan was with the movies and how little he cared for the character.
It also shows how immature Nolanites are that these and the other horrible film making scenes are simply ignored, lest they upset their god. -

OMG you are so pathetic, you are obsessing over the smallest technical error because that's all you have to attack the film. Dude one guy falls down before his cue, it's a simple goof, I don't know of a single film that doesn't have any goofs, it has nothing to do with the story at all. If that honestly ruins the film for you then you are a goddamn idiot.
I have already owned this techtash moron in this very same debate (I also had to educate him on the difference between OBJECTIVE and SUBJECTIVE) and quite frankly I am tired of talking about it so STFU about the fight choreography.

Two separate fight scenes where bad guys simply fall down out of the shot is NOT "the smallest technical error." Only a brain dead Nolanite would say that it is.
It is cr(p movie making.
I don't know of a single film that doesn't have any goofs,
I don't either. Of course, only Nolanites play with their micro-penises and say that a movie with tons of mistakes, stupidity, plot holes and crp movie making is the greatest movie ever.
The true "goddamn idiots" are those who have zero objectivity when it comes to a movie and director.
If the only crp movie making in this was the horrible fight scenes then it wouldn't be so bad. But the whole film was one WTF after another. -

The only complaints you have put forth are two (OK I'll go ahead and give you 2) random stuntmen falling down before their cue, that is a VERY MINOR technical error and it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the story, the characters or the meaning to the film. You are completely obsessed with minor flaws that you have missed the entire point of the film. I honestly think that you don't believe the things you say, you want to be part of the cool crowd which means you invent things to bitch about in regards to this film, it is completely pathetic. 60th greatest movie of all time and made over a billion dollars, suck on that.
