Overrated

Rating: 1/10 (21 October 2015)

I gave this movie a one (1). Not that it deserved it. But what it doesn't deserve is the lofty 9 from IMDb viewers that put it #4 on the IMDb list. The movie is good but it is not great. So I give it a one just to balance all the ludicrous 10's.
What was good. Well Heath Ledger as the Joker was the most obvious. Unpredictable but never over the top. A scary Joker - Jack Nicholson - who? Aaron Eckhart was also quite good as Harvey Dent/Two Face. And finally Christian Bale was a good Batman the best of the bunch. Didn't feel like a hero at all. Oldman was good as he always is. Finally Maggy held her own. So I had no complaint about the acting.
I just found the story jumpy and confusing at time. Christopher Nolan is a good director but his stories get lost amongst all the gimmicks. And that is just annoying.
I hadn't seen this picture before nor the other Nolan Batman's either. And now I know why. No not really a bad picture. Just not worthy of a 10 or the overall 9 rating let alone a top 250 IMDb. Not that my one is going to make any difference .
