What a stinker!

Rating: 1/10 (2 October 2006)

Hard to believe this movie stunk so much. I had high hopes going in to see the film. Those hopes were quickly dashed within probably the first hour of the film. I think the scene when Bruce Wayne does his karate chops and burns the hut down was where all went downhill rather fast. The image of Liam neeson sliding down the mountain pretty much described where the film was headed by then - speedily downhill. It never quite recovered from that point. Soon we see the Dawons Creek wench and then things really go from bad to worse. Before long we see what is supposed to be a menacing villain but looks more like The Elephant Man on acid. It just got to be too much to withstand and I literally threw up in my mouth. Damn you Nolan to Hollywood obscurity for turning Batman into some drivel about overcoming fear. That is not Batman.
