I felt the same way about The Dark Knight Rises.

There is enough plot – and compelling drama/intrigue – going on – that we don’t need to get `caught up with details’ that may be illogical.

For example, I never once had an issue with any of these 73 things.

(And still don’t when I watch the film over).

My reasons for feeling that way, I guess:

1) When I consider how `Batman’ – as a character – had been
portrayed, up to / before Nolan did it… (ie, previously:
completely, tongue in cheek – and/or treating him as comic-book
guy… and yes – Nolan’s is still comic book – but: closest yet, to
“reality” if comic-book life / `the DC world’ was real… just IMHO)…

2) GENIUS casting in all 3 Batman movies…
ie – Bale, Ledger,
Hardy, etc etc etc

3) Stunning action – I’ve never seen a `plane action sequence’ like
in the 3rd movie… (and – all the other action sequences too…)

4) Great (clever) twists; i didn’t see `the twists’ coming – like, with who
`the kid who climbed the well’ was…!

5) I LOVED all the social commentary subtext: The whole `Occupy’
thing, the mock-trials of the “Eat The Rich” Gotham rebellion, — It really `nailed’ the current Zeitgeist – in a way that no other
big Hollywood movie would (apparently?) ever dare…?

(Or: Am I wrong? – I cant think of a more `Anti-Corporate’ (and
`Anti-Capitalist’) and actually downright Marxist film, well, apart
from Speed… or maybe Avatar) i.e. So much (political) subtext…
and anyway:
6) Who else could actually make `Robin’: a cool character?
(i think,
that is an almost impossible task…)

Anyway, nice post Nir!
