A good action movie but overrated

Rating: 6/10 (24 July 2008)

I went to see The Dark Knight yesterday. My expectations were rather high after reading the usercomments and ratings at IMDb. But movie did not even get close to the sky high ratings it has been awarded. Shortly described - the Joker character, played by deceased Heath Ledger is acting at is best. No doubt about that. BUT the rest of the movie, the plot etc. is only average and what you could expect. I went to a mid-day play and halfway through the movie i was almost about to catch a nap.. i was NOT especially tired when entering the cinema. When people are talking about a world class movie here, they are way wrong!! I could mention a bunch of way better movies but if you expect to go watch a good/average action based movie which is 30 min too long and if you are well rested - then go see The Dark Knight. (I am not a lonely wolf on this one as 4 of my friends who went to see it afterwards, totally agrees with me) 6/10 nothing more!! - go see for yourself.
