If the Dark Knight didn't exist this wouldn't be rated so high

Rating: 5/10 (18 May 2019)

This is not a bad movie and it is an entertaining movie. For me, if something is decent and good production value and okay to watch it begins with 5. From there the movie really has to work at it to be worthy of more. This was okay but nothing to write home about. It was an enjoyable watch but I won't be watching it again any time soon. I'll sure watch Dark Knight over the years but this wasn't all that great. If the love for Dark Knight combined with the mourning for Heath Ledger didn't combine to make everyone praise the entire trilogy as one lump sum of genius, then I feel that people would be okay with Batman Begins but wouldn't love it. It would just be seen as fine, decent, moderately entertaining, a far greater depiction than any of the weird stuff that came before it, but ultimately still something to watch after work on TBS (if that channel is still around and then go to bed not particularly better or worse for it. That's about it.
