Completely overrated

Rating: 4/10 (8 July 2005)

IMDb strikes again. Another IMDb top 250 that is so overrated it's embarrassing. Let me count the ways...
Batmobile - Laughable. Are you kidding me? An armored tank?
Christian Bale - He did a good Bruce Wayne but an atrocious Batman. His voice (as previously reported) is truly awful. He made a serious scene into a comedy routine.
Villains - Were there any? Scarecrow had about 5 minutes of screen time. Then he was offed by Katie Holmes! LOL. In one of the most ridiculous scenes ever he is defeated when Katie Holmes shocks him with a taster. Unbelievable. We don't even know the true Ras Al Ghul until the movie is almost over. Then I asked what is his motive? He wants to save humanity by killing a bunch of people?
Action scenes - It's hard to tell you about the action scenes because due to editing they were almost unwatchable.
In the end I gave this movie a 3 because it had some decent plot lines and good acting but to say that this movie is better than Burton's is outrageous.
