People are of course entitled to their own opinions, but that doesn't mean that they're not completely wrong.  ;)

For my part, I really liked the movie.  I've seen it twice now, and look forward to watching it again.  I'm quite a fan of Christopher Nolan's films and his realistic version of Batman, and seeing all three as a triple feature on a 70-foot screen really showed how well they work together as a complete story.  I do admit that the third installment isn't quite as good as the second, which itself isn't quite as good as the first (Batman Begins will always be my favourite), but all of them are extremely enjoyable in their own way.

It seems to me that Selina is the movie's secret weapon.  She's not quite essential to the plot, but her presence makes things a lot more interesting and ties it together in a way that wouldn't have worked as well if she hadn't been included.  The end, in particular, is very compelling from the character development perspective, in no small part due due to this.  Anne Hathaway totally nailed the part, I think.
