Very well done, but it ain't Batman

Rating: 9/10 (17 October 2008)

Don't get me wrong, this was a well done movie. JOker was played perfectly. However i cannot see this being the best Batman movie let alone the best movie ever. Ledger's death over hypes it, however that is not my problem. They try to take every amount of corniness out of this movie that just having JOker and Batman in it just makes it corny by accident. It has no atmosphere of Gotham City as well. Bale is a disgusting Batman in my opinion. He's a great Bruce Wayne, but he sounds like a mix of McGruff the crime dog and Barry White when he's Batman. Also, the fighting style is awkward. It has proved time and time again for the batman movies since '89 (excluding Batman and Robin = total rubbish), that Batman is not the focus. It's all about the villain(s). Although the only good Batman has been Michael Keaton. NOw I do really like this movie, however i cut it up because i like Batman and Batman Returns better.
