This film is so overrated!

Rating: 6/10 (30 June 2009)

This has to be one of the most overrated films I have seen. It isn't a bad film at all, it isn't overly dark like some of the Tim Burton Batman's, which was a nice surprise. But this film shouldn't have 8.9 out of 10. It's more a 6 or 7. To think that Dent could just all of a sudden turn from the cities Saviour, to being some psycho loony, for no other reason than his girlfriend being killed, is ridiculous! He stood up against everyone, and then one person he loves dies, and he loses it?? The acting in this film is good, although Christian Bale is not that good at all. Can you really tell him apart in this, as apposed to American Psycho, or even Shaft? I agree that Heath Ledger is great as the joker, but I have to think, if he hadn't died, would everyone still think he was so amazing. I really thought that the Batman Begins was a better film, and it was interesting to see how he became batman. It does seem amazing, how things become so fashionable, and people all rave about something when everyone else seems to be. This films plot is weak, and at points, like with Dent, it is just plain stupid. To be honest, this is the problem with films nowadays, all people seem to want, is great special effects, and lots of action. But what about the plot?? For me, the best decades for music were the 60's and 70's, and for films, without doubt the 80's. Sure, some films are bit dated now, but they are classics. The goonies for example, is for me, the greatest kids adventure film ever made, and one of the best adult adventure films ever made too. It had action, but it also had great acting, and a great storyline. I know the goonies has nothing to do with Batman, but it seems people are satisfied with mediocrity nowadays, with music and with films. Bands where the musicians sound like they just started playing the guitar a month ago, and films with lots of action, but no substance. And the worst part, no one seems to care? Shouldn't we being asking for more for our money?
