5. The Dark Knight Rises
This movie was, like, halfway good — at least until director Christopher Nolan seemed to lose interest halfway through. Bane beating the holy hell out of Batman is an all-time great scene, but we’re not quite sure what was going on by the end of the damn movie. Bane went out like a chump.
