A good film that is so stuck up on American patriotism that it almost ruins the film itself

Rating: 7/10 (20 August 2009)

Before I start let me say that this is still an excellent film- surely over hyped but it is a solid if slightly overrated film IF you want to read about all the good things about this film read someone else's review of it I just want to nitpick some craters first of all the film is too long- by the end you will be happy to see the credits. the ending is good but it has dragged on so long that you start to not care.
secondly the NOT SUBTLE AND VERY STUPID FLAG WAVING THAT RUINS THIS FILM. the unbelievably not subtle flag waving kills this film. everywhere you see slight hints at Iraq, flag waving, taking a hit for the side, buildings blowing up, good solider....err police officers and civilians dying because of a war on terr--- err a war on the joker LMAO- boring... if you are a flag waving American I'm sure you'll love it -if you noticed it being paraded in your face every ten seconds- i'm sure everyone else had more then their fill of America love.
Bale just doesn't do batman right.... he does Bruce Wayne right, but that silly deep "i smoke 60 cigarettes a day to speak like this" accent makes batman seem like a pantomime villain The Joker is perfect, amazing show stealing good and its a damn shame he wont return In the end this is a good film that had good marketing and happened at a time when America loves to toot its own horn, and reassure itself that it always makes good decisions
