Better that Schindler's List? Are you kidding me??

Rating: 7/10 (20 September 2015)

Sorry, but this isn't Shakespeare. It's a comic book movie. Yes, it's good, maybe even better than most, but still... The performances are good, and I think everyone agrees that Heath Ledger's was pretty amazing. It's well directed. The cinematography is decent. The writing is OK. But to rank this a 9 you have to overlook a lot of goofy stuff (Harvey Dent is one example.) and rely on an awful lot of suspension of disbelief. I would have ranked this a little bit higher maybe, but somebody has to cancel out the vote of at least one of the fan-boy zealots on here. What's even more annoying is that IMDb wanted me to write 10 lines of text in order to submit this review, which is tough because It's not THAT interesting of a film.
