Disappointing

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2010)

I went into this movie expecting a masterpiece, as both Memento and Batman Begins are brilliantly crafted films that require you to pay attention and really get into the movie. Sadly, The Dark Knight was far more summer blockbuster-ish, and didn't live up to my expectations, so I was hoping Nolan would go back to the style of his earlier movies. Sadly, he didn't. This movie was not confusing, at all. You barely had to think. I've seen a lot of people saying "it leaves you questioning reality." I disagree. There were redeeming factors though: the acting was superb, the CGI was really good and it had a good flow, so it didn't seem like 2 hours and 15 minutes. It was a good movie, but I had expected Nolan to do better.
