The Dim Knight

Rating: 1/10 (13 September 2006)

Oh how the luminous energy of the Batman franchise has been reduced to this contrived drivel. The legend of Batman is turned into "Memento" with a caped crusader. This is NOT the Batman Bob Kane intended despite how the comic geeks praise Nolan for making this film the way he chose. It also takes away from what made the Batman character so alluring and most of all fun. No longer does Batman have fun with the bad guys. Instead he hisses and trys to be all scary and always brooding. Bale's portrayal was that of an absolute bore and very mechanical in the part. Also as many others have said the voice was utterly ridiculous and just didn't work. A lot didn't work here. The success of this movie is very overblown. In reality, a lot of people didn't even bother to see it. That says a lot.
