Sorry but this is just another big budget Hollywood explosion-athon

Rating: 2/10 (2 November 2019)

I saw this movie a while back, and was underwhelmed at the time. After watching 'Joker' yesterday, I decided to compare the two Joker performances (Heath Ledger vs Joaquin Phoenix) and gave it another go. The joker performance is good, but it's not enough to make up for the rest of this train wreck (Actually, I think a train was the only thing NOT wrecked in this movie).
I had forgotten how vacuous and mainstream The Dark Knight actually is. The usual explosions and special effects extravaganza to divert attention from a lack of any depth whatsoever. This movie left me completely unmoved, in contrast to the Joker. Well, I will admit I was increasingly angry, but not at the villains, rather at the people who made this pile of bat guano. The trivialization of violence and complete lack of plausibility that is so common in American movies is at the forefront again here.
Nothing special, other than the effects. And after 10 years, even those are lame.
