Plot-wise, visually, and in terms of absolute badassery this movie is great. I‘m not that happy with the anti-socialist themes, though. I mean, Batman as a concept is already a man who prefers beating up „criminals“ (which, often enough, are desperate people just trying to make a living - like the men working for Bane) and spending millions of dollars on cool gadgets to using his wealth to fund more effective ways of reducing crime, but which wouldn’t allow for the visceral satisfaction of inflicting brutal corporal punishment on lesser men (in class and morality - which is something much easier to come by if you’ve never wanted for anything in your life). I can ignore all of that usually because Batman is a power fantasy (both for Bruce Wayne and for the audience), but in this movie there is so much overt anti-capitalist rhetoric that is portrayed as bad and associated with violence and deception that it gets hard to do.
