I was really eager to see DKR when it came out, and went in with a very high opinion of Nolan’s craft. Just seemed to have a real quality touch in every part of his movies, a real master craftsman operating at the blockbuster end of the movie industry. I imagined he just didn’t allow anything to make the cut if it wasn’t right.
DKR had me wondering what the hell he was doing. Just seemed like plot holes weren’t important. Characters were weaker. From what I remember there was some reallly weak dialogue. I’d have to watch again to remember exactly what put me off it, but I remember some scene where either Batman shows up out of nowhere wherever catwoman is, or vice-versa, and it making zero sense.
if it was any old superhero movie I probably would have found it fun enough and a decent movie, but coming from Nolan and after the previous two I really left the cinema thinking it was a messy lazy slog of a movie.
Interstellar was worse though!
Not a bad point for what affected it. I’ve always just stuck with my first impression. He was bored of Batman and wanted to move on and thus you don’t see the same attention to detail and quality control as before.
