I don't understand the hype

Rating: 2/10 (14 February 2020)

I guess I was expecting something more, the hype was huge, sadly I felt this movie left me wondering why?? The acting was adequate, action non existent, dialogue superficial and Phoenix a sad reproduction of Ledgers benchmark. Just my opinion, however my lady watched it with me and seemed befuddled by the absolute lack of anything noteworthy. As an origin story, it was disappointing, as an artistic endeavor to exploit comic logic in an ethereal manner, it was tragically successful. Of the 20 or so people I have discussed this movie with, all but one, an arts student in his eighth year of studies, felt much the same. Sadly, this seems to be the way of the Hollywood studios, reheat old stew, add curry powder and call it original.
