Very good but ..

Rating: 6/10 (20 July 2008)

Okay,, It was a very good movie.. but the current 9.7 rating I see and the way some people are shouting "the greatest movie of all time" is just so ridiculous.. Yes ,It was action packed, with good acting but the storyline was almost too simplistic and it was about 30 minutes too long. The ending tended to really drag out some. The storyline moved along so fast in the beginning that it seemed more like it all happened in real time instead of an epic approach like Batman Begins. Heath's Joker was a memorable character though and I do see him getting at least a supporting actor nomination. In the end it was just an enjoyable blockbuster . I had fun, ate lots of popcorn but by the time I got home it was over. I didn't come home thinking about it, analyzing it, sleeping on it as I have done with numerous great films I have seen. Why some people want to insult some of those greatest movies ever made with their "latest and greatest" attitude about this film is just beyond me.
