Overrated

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2008)

Let's be real - this is a GREAT action movie, i'd surely put it in the top 10 action movies of all time, the acting is superb, photography is outstanding and it has a great story - but honestly i think this title has received too much hype after Ledger's death. I'll say it again:great action movie, great movie overall, but IMHO it does not deserve to be the nr.1 movie in all cinema history. It lacks the depth of a movie like the Godfather or the Shawshank Redemption; Batman is a great fictional character but i still rank it behind a story like the Lord of the rings; nor it puts you on an emotional roller-coaster like Schindler's List or New Cinema Paradiso; as a police movie i still prefer The Departed or The Usual Suspects; also i didn't get the overall feeling i got from movies like The Sixth Sense or Crash.
8.5 out of 10
