Big budget and not too much excitement

Rating: 4/10 (29 July 2008)

I went to see Dark Knight despite not being big fan of comic genre. I think I was influenced with high media and public anticipation of the movie and maybe even with the fact that the Heath Ledger is in it. Anyway, as the movie started I watched first few scenes and realized this movie is not my cup of tea. I couldn't relate to the characters in any way and could not care about what they do. I think this comic movie is so serious and pretending to take place in a real world, and it didn't work for me. In the end, it is just movie about superheroes, so why so much reality? As the movie continued, I end up feeling bored and couldn't wait for the movie to finish. The story seemed to go nowhere with more explosion and chaos and I couldn't figure out what it is all about. In comparison, lately I saw Iron Man and this movie works with the genre and thrill me from start to end with the simple concept and limited subject matter, not trying too hard as the Dark Knight does.
The positive thing about the Dark Knight for me is the acting. All actors give good performance, but it doesn't safe the movie.
