Silly and Boring

Rating: 1/10 (15 June 2014)

I have never watched a Batman film before, in fact I have never watched a super hero film before. I'd picked up that this was the best of them, so when I saw that it is available on Amazon Prime Instant Video I thought I'd have a look. Well I have discovered that super hero films are certainly not for me.
As a child I really loved the Batman DC comics and in that animated world for children it works very well. However the realisation of the comic character in a more adult context is just totally silly. That voice he has sounds like Dirty Harry only more so and it is just funny.
The Joker seems to be able to construct remarkable situations at a moment's notice. It is not credible. At every turn there seems to be something that has no credibility with the viewer and so you just don't care about what is happening.
There is no adventure in this film nor are there any particularly clever twists or turns in the plot, primarily there seem to be some situations that the Joker sets up. Batman's solutions seem to be boring brute force either with fists or technology. In fact I think the DC comic Batman was a cleverer and more interesting guy.
It was quite nice seeing Michael Caine but I don't think his, or anyone else's script was very imaginative.
Boring and silly throughout.
