Best film ever? You must be Joking...

Rating: 1/10 (26 July 2008)

This film wasn't awful - it was pretty decent. But the rating isn't for the film itself, but as a counter to all those who have over-rated it. Were it not for the exaggerated response to the movie (through people's want to have seen something great, rather than to have actually witnessed it) then a rating of 6 feels right. Film is over-long, doesn't sufficiently build characters to the point where we care what happens to them, relies heavily on shocks, crashes, bangs and gadgets, and is probably best suited to teenage boys who are already Batman fans. Spiderman and Batman (the original) were better movies, and this feels more like James Bond (without the humour) than a standout classic.
