6.5/10...which is a shame because it could've been incredible if they kept the story simpler and focused on the themes that stood out in the trailer
Bane vs Batman should've been the ultimate rivalry
Two Orphans; Two Obsessions; Two Very Different Origins
Bruce inherited everything; had the world at his feet and decided to protect it
Bane came from nothing and literally had to fight and claw and scrape to survive, yet wound up stronger, and possibly even more cunning than Batman:
..No ordinary child. A child born in hell. Forged from suffering. Hardened by pain.
Two conflicting motives for gotham: Restoration vs. Retribution; God's grace vs. His Wrath, w/ Bruce and Bane as His respective instruments waging a war for Gotham in which Batman is finally outmatched. With part of the audience realizing they're rooting for Bane on the inside, thinking "they never gave me shyt either breh"
But no. Nolan threw that GOAT matchup and theme out of the window to make Bane a simp, hired gun and give his origin story to some random broad in a plot twist that only made shyt more convoluted
.
2nd half of that movie was straight
brehs, I'll never forgive Nolan for that.
