Lets get a grip

Rating: 7/10 (12 September 2008)

OK , first thing , no way this movie should be averaging 9.1 , don't get me wrong its a good movie , but it sure ain't a classic. If you have seen any other Batman film , then you know exactly what you are in for , no surprises , predictable storyline. All the acting is OK , Heath Ledger is OK as the Joker , no better than Nicholson all them years ago and indeed no better than Cesar Romero in the original TV show. Christian Bale is fine , apart from the stupid voice he puts on when he is Batman , reminds me of Jim Carey's alias "Hank" in Me Myself and Irene. I don't want to be too negative because its a decent movie , but some folk just get carried away and it puts a skew on the whole rating for the film. Go and watch it , I guarantee you will enjoy it , then come back here and give it an honest rating , and that is what this site is all about.
