Boring

Rating: 4/10 (7 September 2008)

I am really astonished reading all the commentaries and the incredible average mark of the film. This movie is simply deceiving.
When I first saw Batman Begins, I really loved it. From then I began to investigate more about Christohper Nolan and his films. I discovered also that Memento was directed by him, as well as Insomnia with Al Pacino and Robin Williams, highly interesting thriller placed in Alaska.
Back to "Knight", I found it firstly too long. I went with 3 friends and all of them slept the whole last hour.
Secondly, and probably the most important from my point of view, the plot is not surprising and of a quality you wouldn't expect from such an expensive movie.
More, Christian Bale is not the same. In that film Batman as well as Bruce Wayne are poor, somehow sad, definitely not inspiring. Nothing comparable to his performance in Psycho. All the action scenes are the same, batman knocking and slamming with its legs, arms and fists. Where is the intelligence and slyness? The highly praised Heath Ledger is not bad, but the character, this new Jocker is deceiving again. Not fun, not subtle nor ironic, simply violent.
To finish with, this film is too long, unnecessarily complicated, and if you see the images of the trailer, you have seen it all.
