The Dark Knight Rises

I do agree that as its own work, Dark Knight Rises can't compare with either of the prequel films, mostly because without them as a backstory it falls apart. Just yesterday I overheard guys I work with talking about how bad it was, while admitting they never saw Batman Begins, which sort of makes DKR stop making anything resembling sense. You physically can't enjoy it without having watched the others recently, and that is a flaw any way you look at it. I'm forgiving of the problems since it was never going to be anything other than a Part 3, with all the problems they usually have.

Still better than most movies out this year and definitely anything that's out at the moment. Maybe not Oscar worthy, but I'm willing to bet if I watched whatever movie does go on to win Best Picture, I'm pretty sure DKR would still be better. But I'm in no way objective.
