That's your opinion and you are entitled to it. The only thing the film didn't succeed in doing, at least in my opinion, was living up to the massive hype surrounding it after the release of The Dark Knight. Only the greatest movie ever made would have been able to meet expectations of the general population.

And I respect your right to love every part of the movie and claim it completely succeeded.

FWIW - there was a very long thread where people discussed TDKR ad naseum. I won't rehash everything but I thought the movie lost me with the silliness of the back injury/how it was treated, the escape from the pit (hey, why not just climb that rope? what? a child made that leap a super athletic man could not?), and most of the post-occupation Gotham issues in which neither the city, nor the police trapped in the tunnels made sense with any critical thought. ETA - and yes, the giant cheat in which Batman really escaped implausibly a nuclear level explosion that would have killed him even if he had the time (which he did not) to make it far enough from Gotham to save the city.
