Dark Knight Rises (score: 9)

Dark Knight Rises feature tons of great ideas, deliver on an epic scale, but tied together by a very Saturday-morning-cartoon plot. The film gave too little of what's great (Catwoman, John Blake, references to the Dark Knight) and spent too much time on what's not so great (League of Shadows story). With the high score, I will say that I like it because this film is still very Nolan; but it's just not very Batman.
