Agreed. Problem is that Dark Night Rises is not mindless yet the amateurs critics that believe they are above the regular moviegoer relish in every single plot pinhole as it provides the chance to show their superior intellect and how their high intelligence is insulted that the director didn't tack on an additional 15 minutes to an already long movie to explain to the moviegoer how Batman's knees got reconstructed.
I call people like yourself amateurs because a real critic knows what's acceptable to the general audience and isn't going to get fixated on unexplained events that don't have a large bearing on the story. If a movie is pure garbage and the only plot that exists is in holes then yes they will be bashed but a quality move doesn't get taken to task for minor holes as a real critic knows the process of what is involved in making a motion picture and that it's not practical to have every single act fully explained.
I could pick this movie apart if I wanted to but the fact is that I enjoyed it for what it was and life is too short to spend on finding reasons to critique something that brought you enjoyment. I look at movies as escapism and not a chance to bring out my detective kit and tell everyone else why they shouldn't like it. Some of you take your imaginary jobs way too seriously.
