this movie sucks

Rating: 3/10 (19 July 2008)

well, it looks to me like the industry people got on IMDb and wrote glowing reviews of this film. Some problems with this movie:

everyone in it is miserable. Is it too much for a story based on a comic book to have a little lightness in it?

The Joker isn't funny, he's just sick. Why bother to have the Joker if he isn't funny? You may as well have some regular psycho. Ledger does a great job with the character, but it's not written well. - like the last Batman movie, the action sequences are long and things whiz by when you can't really see or tell what's happening. Also like the last movie, there are a huge number of explosions and big special effects, yawn. - There really isn't much to root for here. Bale is dour and boring as Bruce Wayne/Batman and the only halfway likable character in the film is the character played by Maggie Gyllenhal.
