Not as good as Batman Begins, and overrated, but still well-done.

Rating: 7/10 (18 July 2012)

This is a very well put together movie. The makers of this movie clearly did not skimp.
Unfortunately it is not as good as "Batman Begins". The first reason is Christian Bale. His voice can only go so low, but somehow he was determined to go lower, which makes him sound like a complete idiot, and gives his character no credibility. In no previous Batman comic, movie, TV show, etc. has there been this growly, laughable, low voice.
If you can get past that, you might enjoy the movie. Two-Face is superb. This actor has done the best job in this movie.
Joker is okay. He is trying to outdo Jack Nicholson's darkness level, which he succeeds in doing, but frankly it's too much, and it's obviously too much.
The dialogue is not great. There is no real tension between the two main characters. Bruce Wayne is supposed to be personable, likable, but he is not. It's almost like he is playing Batman all the time, just without the mask.
What really makes this movie a good movie is not the acting, or even the story. What makes it a good movie is the editing, cinematography, and special effects. They are put together so well that you really feel that you are in Gotham watching the story unfold.
In summary, definitely see this movie, but keep in mind the evil quotient is a bit forcefully high, and the acting and story do not feel believable, except Two Face.
