The Avengers is a big, brainless popcorn movie. Not much in the way of a theme or character development or story let alone cinematography, but lots of stuff blowing up real good.

So I don't necessarily disagree with him. Though it's not like The Avengers even tries to be anything more than that. It's a film for 12-year-old boys and/or the 12-year-old boy that never grows up in men.

That said TDKR is the weakest of the three Nolan Batman films. I think they had to shoe-horn in the plot device of Bane breaking Batman's back, which grinds the movie to a halt for 3 months or whatever and that just didn't work well IMO. But I think they ended it well and brought the entire trilogy to a relatively satisfying halt.
