I saw the midnight screening of the movie. And interestingly enough, I was half satisfied.
Some of the elements that bothered me: 1. The terrible mumbling of characters. Seriously needed subtitles in some scenes to understand what was going on. 2. Bane wasn't as menacing as I thought. I'm not comparing him to the Joker. Hardy would have done a fine job but he wasn't giving any menacing moments like the Joker. 3. Even Catwoman didn't have a big enough role. Or probably it's just me trying to compare it to the cartoon. 4. Unnecessary loud music. I know music enhances the emotion but I felt it was too loud and unnecessary in some parts.
That said, the final few minutes were really exciting! That saved the film. Everything was beautifully tied and wrapped up. Sad to see the series end but happy that it ended on a good note.
I would say The Dark Knight was the best of the trilogy. But again that would be my opinion. There was so much emotion in TDK that was missing here, which would have made this movie epic! If you look from the perspective of TDK, it was very different from Batman Begins. I just felt this movie tried hard to imitate it's predecessor but fell short of expectations.
Just go in for the final few minutes and the climax. Although don't keep your hopes too high!
