Great film, even bigger hype

Rating: 6/10 (30 July 2008)

Alright, this is a good movie. It has breathtaking action, a great villain, a dark atmosphere and even some kind of a story. But after having seen it for the second time I think its still a bit over-rated. At least my oh-so-high expectations had me leaving the cinema with a hint of disappointment. Moral dilemma's sure are there, but they seem rather shallow after reading such ecstatic reviews. I hate to admit this, being a Batman fan since 'Batman Returns' came out. I think the whole hype around this actually spoiled my viewing pleasure. My advice is; if you're planning to go see it, don't expect too much. You'll like it better. Although the whole movie certainly isn't flawless, Heath Ledgers Joker steals the show, and is, along with the spectacular driving scenes, one of the main attractions to the film. I hope Chris Nolan is willing to make another one. It'll give me the chance to ignore all ads and reviews and love it just as it is... I really want to!
