somewhat pleasant
A very good film let down by certain aspects.

The upps:
Nolan's film seems to build on the previous good/evil human nature themes with a discussion of negative and positive liberty set against soviet russia/revolutionary france visuals and i found it very interesting - A kind of pastiche that seems to work very well.
Characters were done very well. Bane was excellent.

The downs:
Flow of the film struggles with how epic it tries to be. Characters seem to zip around.
Some exposition on how characters show up in the nick of time would have helped.
There seem to be problems related to thematic imagery being too intrusive and conflicting with age rating - as other people have mentioned the ww1 style battle scenes seem a little jaring(very few onscreen deaths.
No joker cameo(difficult to pull off without being too insensitive i guess)

I'd give it a 4/5. Not quite up to dark knight, and certainly not a flop.
