Glad to see more realistic rating on this film finally.

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2009)

Yes, it's a great film. But to have been rating and sitting at the best rated film of all time on IMDb for such a long time? Maybe it was the publicity surrounding Heath, or just the collection of Batman fans.
I'm sorry but this film seems to have gone back to more tongue-in-cheek than I like, I'm used to seeing Batman has a dark almost sinister character. Others have told me that this is heading back to how it is in the comics and that the films have deviated. Well, blame Hollywood for polluting his character with the original Batmans.
Acting was OK (Heath was great), but I don't see why this Batman movie should be rated 'much' higher than the others.
By all means do watch this film, but don't expect to be blown away. Sorry but Jim's Carrey's portrayal of the Riddler was much more powerful than Heath's portrayal of the Joker.
