It wasn't as good people made it out to be.

Rating: 5/10 (18 September 2008)

It seems that hype really does work for the masses. They easily succumb to what larger, more powerful entities want them to like. It's shocking and scary, really. This movie, in my opinion, and it is mine and I do not care what anyone has to say, is a perfect example.
I enjoyed this movie. It wasn't bad but it definitely was not great. I liked the pace of the movie and some of the acting is OK. I did not like the joker character, though. The joker was quite boring and not flamboyant enough. The dude that played the joker did an OK job but the writing for it really fell below the waterline and I felt that the script was boring and uninspired. This was more of an eye candy movie.
Christian as Batman still bums me out. He is simply not a good choice for Batman nor is he a good choice for Bruce Wayne. It just does not feel correct.
Unfortunately for this movie, my favorite scene(s) involved that beautiful Murcielago with the painted six piston calipers. That was the most beautiful thing in this movie. It broke my heart to see it smashed. I couldn't help but feel that this movie minus the costumes could have been named Die Hard 5. It had that same momentum and feel.
It was still a good movie. It was just not a GREAT movie.
