A Different Perspective

Rating: 3/10 (23 July 2017)

Many people think this is one of the best films of the 21st century. I'm here to assure you that it most certainly isn't. Is Heath Ledger excellent in his role as the Joker? He certainly is, but who cares? This film is so muddled in its own self-importance and at the end of the day, the only thing it truly accomplishes is patronizing its audience for two and a half hours. JUSTICE! LAW! ETHICS! BATMAN!!! Yadda-yadda. Translation: bunkum and hoopla. This film would certainly only have the reputation that it does in our current society of grown children who think that superhero comics are on par with classic literature. Enough is enough. This isn't a great film.
