A jumble of groovy scenes

Rating: 4/10 (8 May 2011)

There are some wonderful scenes but the movie left me cold since it didn't tell a "real" story.
Rather than following the hard-won lore of storytelling as described in the Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell, Chris Vogler and others, the plot meandered, starting a new thread, failing to end another, and then jumping back to a thread which had petered out. Finally, the viewer was left not really caring what happened, resigned to watching special effects for their own sake rather than as part of the story.
Let's hope the next Batman movie (as well as the next Superman movie, et al) can attract some writing and directing talent.
