While I loved all the visuals, and some elements of the story. The whole “love conquers all” angle really brought this down a few notches. Seriously? These people just need to get over themselves.
Also, the whole thing about flying into a black hole was frankly stupid. You know what happens if you fly into a black hole? You get ripped to pieces by the gravitational forces before you even get close. Stuff like this makes me a little angry – we wonder why the general public is so uninformed about science? It’s partly because of crap like this. While I don’t expect every movie to be a science lesson, they could at least try to not get it exactly wrong. I mean, the writers are just making up crap because they’re ignorant. Imagine they made a movie about surgery, and simply invented body parts with magical properties – it’d sound ridiculous. Just because most people don’t know squat about black holes doesn’t make it any different. They could have made a very similar plot without all the black hole nonsense.
While this movie was good on a number of levels – mostly that it just looked good. I start to wonder – just how many superlatives can they come up with? The bad guy can’t just be “bad”, he has to be the most formidable evil person on the planet, with a secret history that ties everything together, and, and, and… Enough already. Ya, sure… Bane is a bad dude. But don’t try to explain him with logic and a mysterious complicated back story. This is a comic book after all, characters like him are sometimes better shallow.
