Over expectations, too many jokes and punchlines

Rating: 7/10 (28 July 2005)

Great to finally see Batmans history, I mean, why and how he became the batman. I liked that. Overall, the film was over my expectations, I like the way it was shot and edited, however, what brought it down to me was this: Too many phony punchlines, bad jokes squeezed into the plot at bad timing, it kinda killed the mood for me. That was the major thing that brought this down for me. Some action scenes were long, almost become too long, but it was alright. OK I'm picky but I didn't like the planting at the end hinting at a sequel, with the joker, and he shouldn't have been kissed by the girl in the end. It was well worth getting a theatre ticket for though, I enjoyed it. I give it a strong seven.
