The Dark Knight Rises BBFC

From researching some of the complaints about the release of The Dark Knight Rises to the BBFC I have found some reasons that the fans of the film were not too happy. Firstly, it has been said that there has been about 34 seconds worth of footage been cut from The Dark Knight Rises cutting out 34 seconds of footage from The Dark Knight Rises. This has lead to people wondering if Warner Brothers cut out some of the more violent or gruesome scenes from the film just to achieve the 12A rating that the original Dark Knight had. Other have complained about the whole 12A Rating as a whole saying that the action and violent scenes are edited in a way that is just too fast not showing enough of the action just to achieve a 12A rating.
