I had a problem with Bane's mask. It seemed difficult for the actor to express himself with half of his face covered. He reminded me of Darth Vader and Lord Humongus from Mad Max II.
Darth Vader had some of the same issues, especially with the voice being added in later by a different actor. Lots of hand gestures and nodding.

Lord Humongus worked a little better because he wasn't a main character and didn't have to carry the film.

There was so much story to tie together, and a lot of that was story arc from the first movie. Now I did watch the second movie a few weeks ago as a refresher for this, but I barely remember the first one, so it was difficult to remember who was who and why they had this motivation or that.
I was entertained for a few hours, but it struck me that the second movie was sort of an odd duck in this story arc and yet I think it was the best of them all, and a great movie that stands on its own.
