Despite it's flaws it's the best superhero film I've ever seen

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2005)

The movie was pretty good. It wasn't perfect and I think my expectations were a little high. So what are the bad points you ask? Well the story left a little to be desired. The water weapon was a bit silly. The fight sequences were so jumbled you couldn't tell what was going on. The editing was bad too. I hate it when movies appear too clipped together. Like when someone pops up or starts doing something out of nowhere. And finally the movie was too dark. You can't see much of anything in the night scenes. But that should be cleared up on DVD since it's easier to see everything on a TV. Now the good. This is the least cheesiest superhero film out there. I hate corny comic films. *cough* Spider-man. There weren't many corny lines or scenes in the movie. The music was pretty good. The movie stays somewhat true to the comics. The acting is great. And Batman and the Scarcrow were fantastic. Some of the imagery is nice and adult-oriented. Disturbing is the word that comes to mind. Overall it could have been done a little better in some areas, but it's my favorite superhero film to date. Can't wait for the sequel.
