The ‘Dark Knight’: 3 Hours of Apathy ☀
And that’s about it, folks. “The Dark Knight Rises” simply wanders fecklessly to some kind of a conclusion, aspiring, sometimes, to a tragic note but mostly out for a good time, which it rarely achieves. It is, in fact, an infinitely distractible movie, pursuing (and often dropping) side issues as they present themselves to the filmmakers. Put simply, the movie is opportunistic, but without any real conviction. Stuff just sort of happens, and then the thing moves on with no particular rhyme or reason.
