Overrated......but still a good movie

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2013)

This movie can't compare to "The Dark Knight" or "The Dark Knight Rises", but it still is a good movie. Like the other two Batman movies after it, it has great casting and a perfect story line, but it was slow in the beginning and finally got better towards the end. I also thought it was a little weird that The Joker wasn't the first villain Batman faced against, but the story line was so great that Nolan made it work and flow. Yes, I notice why this movie didn't have as much action as the next two; it's because the whole point of the movie was to see how Batman "began" (hence the name). But I'm one of those movie watchers who like a lot of action in films. So, I was a little disappointed. Overall, Bale played a fantastic Batman and Freeman still has what it takes to be a fantastic actor, but because of the slow start and lack of action, I give this film a 7/10
