This is one awful suck-ass movie

Rating: 1/10 (26 July 2008)

I am not a comic book reading loser or a fanatic of the Batman films. However, I did think Batman Begins was somewhat entertaining, so stupidly I believed that since this film had made so much money in so few days, there had to be something to it. Well, there wasn't.
This is a boring, slow, cheaply made movie. The entire budget seems to have gone into making the Batmobile/motorcycle, some explosions, and not much else. The city of Gotham is clearly Chicago. There wasn't even an attempt to make it look any different! One can actually see the word "Chicago" on one of the buildings during a scene. As for the acting, Batman's costume looked cool and no acting was really required by him. The Joker character was o.k., but his voice was really gay. And what's with the guy with the eye liner? I think he was supposed to be the mayor. Was he gay, too? He should have gotten together with the Joker.
The worst of the group was the ugly woman who played Rachel (the slut that led Batman on while dating that irritating Harvey Dent.) She was so hideous I had a hard time looking at the screen. Seriously. Is there a shortage of actresses in Hollywood? What fool cast this creature?
This "movie" is about three hours long. It seemed like ten. And for most of the time, NOTHING HAPPENS! People were suckered into this crap by the hype and the marketing. One could sense the disappointment in the crowd when it was over. I've never seen so many looking at their cell phones during a movie. People paid to be entertained and got a long, slow, stupid, boring, mean spirited, disgusting, ass-numbing piece of crap.
The Dark Night SUCKS.
