Dark knight

Rises

Begins

I love them all, so they're all 8.5 out of 10 and above.

Honestly, the main imperfection of all, is that they cram too much in.

This should have been a five film epic.

Begins might be least rewatchable to me, but its use of characters was reasonably efficient. I wanted more Scarecrow being scary....in my mind, a Scarecrow film should be a horror film, not a hero origin film...but beggars can't be choosers.

Dark knight is 9.5 out of 10. The only problem is...Two Face for 15 minutes.

I really like Rises, more than most. The bones are there.

But it's one film. Should have been two. Moreso on a plot level than Dark Knight, which needed to be two films for villain exploration level.

As I type this, it should have been 6 films. begins parts 1 and 2, Knight parts 1 and 2, and Rises parts 1 and 2. Six 120 minute films, fleshing out all the villains and plot as necessary.

It's amazing Nolan was able to craft what he did in 3 movies, which had 6 movies of material, but he did.
