No news, bad news

No, we're not in the ballpark...
I went to the cinema to see Batman for a break. Although the cinema I like most is that which makes you think, today I did NOT want to think.
But... but! The fights were all close-ups. No full-body ones. Much better, for this, The Last Samurai; or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; and so on.
The car races were - again - close-ups of tyres burning in front of you, of cars speeding so close that you can't even admire them. For this, I'm sure that Taxi is much better.
The gadgets (the car, the little bombs, the other stuff) were not impressive. For this, I'm sure that any James Bond movie is better.
The filling love story was superficial and not interesting. I'm sure you'll agree the one in Spiderman is better.
The idea of the guru who teaches the disciple is not new. Go and get The Matrix of even Highlander for that.
So...? Why this movie? 6 out of 10 for me.
