A boring and bland adventure with logical mistakes

Rating: 3/10 (11 May 2013)

I've never been into Superheroes or comics but since this movie got praised to the heavens I watched it. And it blew. The story is simply the joker trying to spread chaos over Gotham City (obviously Chicago) because he is mad (there is also the Mafia and stuff but I found myself not caring at all in a matter of minutes so i will leave it out of this review). Batman tries to stop him being supported by Harvey Dent and Comissioner Gordon (in the beginning Lieutenant Gordon). I will now list the pros and cons: Pro: - Batman looks cool in his costume - The Gotham City Impositors are in the movie - The Joker is well acted
Cons: - Batmans annoying voice

Illogical things like the scene with the two ferries and the bomb. One side would surely have blown up the other because they didn't know if Batman could save them. Or the scene were Joker falls from a building and Batman saves him. Why? He could have just walked away instead of saving this mentally insane guy who just tried to spread chaos all over the city. - The Police in this movie. They are just stupid and incapable of doing their job right. They had several chances to shoot the Joker. For example the oh so beloved chase scene where the joker fires rockets at them. He is in plain view about 10 meters away and the S.W.A.T. guys don't even consider opening the door and shooting him. Or the scene where the old Comissioner is killed. If someone is a possible target for an assassination the police should check every corner of all his casual whereabouts

Dent is convinced to be evil and mad in a matter of seconds

Batman gets not enough screen time. They could have just named it Joker and Harvey Dent and some others but barely Batman: the Movie - The moral at the end is just naive. Everybody would choose to blow up someone else in order to survive. It isn't ethical at all to choose that you rather like to be blown up it's just pathetic. Because if both sides choose to not blow the other side up they both die. - The characters are bland and barely likable. Batman gets to little screen time to build up a real personality. The Joker is just the Joker but in this film without any real goal but to destroy anything. And the others are just bland.

As you can clearly see I personally don't like this movie and I think it totally not deserves to be Nr.7 in the list of the greatest movies of all time.
