Overall not as good as I expected

Rating: 7/10 (30 August 2006)

I had heard different opinions about this movie, and they were so opposite that I decided to see for myself.
The "Origin" part of the story is too far out-of-bounds from the original for my personal taste.
Overall, the story wasn't bad, but I thought this was a sub-par performance by Liam Neeson. Mr Caine is quite splendid, and Mr Bale is good, too. Not bad acting at all.
I think that the action sequences look very choppy, and too dark to really see what was happening.
Overall, when I saw that this movie was rated #82 best movie ever, I expected a great movie. Not as good as the Burton/Keaton/Nicholson Batman, and barely as good as Batman Returns.
In my opinion, should not even be near the list of the best 250 movies. I give it 6 out of 10, for better than average, but not excellent.
Very overrated movie to me.
