Dear God, please make this movie disappear off the "IMDB Top 250"

Rating: 5/10 (12 June 2008)

As I write it's rated #102 (apparently it has lost a few places since someone else wondered how it could be "top 70th movie of all times"). Otherwise I wouldn't be wasting the 5 min needed to write this.
I watched BB in August in a holiday resort when it got out, and that's exactly what it deserved. A moderately competent (n-th) Superhero movie. Christian Bale does look the part, so does Gary Sinise as Lt Gordon. And Cilian Murphy is an interesting, if under-used, villain. Plus the imagery is nice to look at, and it's always a pleasure to see Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman -oops, almost forgot Rutger Hauer-, even in slightly pointless cameos. Lastly -I'm in a charitable mood, I'll throw that in as a "pro": the movie obviously derives part of its inspiration from Frank Miller's excellent comic "Batman: Year One".
All the previous doesn't change the fact that BB is on the whole a disappointment. Poorly scripted, poorly directed. The Himalayan sequences are just ludicrous and the action bits are, I found, badly edited: it's hard to keep track of what's going on. I hardly think the excellent Liam Neeson will proudly reminisce of this low-point in his career.
Average popcorn movie. OK but definitely below expectations
