Overrated action movie

Rating: 7/10 (13 November 2008)

The very high rating this movie got was the main reason for me to go and see the movie at the cinema.
This ended in a disappointment, in that way, it was an okay action movie. The Joker is very cool played by Heath Ledger, but he alone is carrying the movie. Cut away the Joker and there is not much left of an original movie. Even WITH the Joker, the story and the action scenes are not very original and mostly seen before in other (batman) movies.
The biggest disappointment was the fact there was still 15-20 minutes movie left at the end of the story and that's boring...
So, rating this movie one of the 5 best movies ever is absolutely very very and very overrated. A small 7 is a by far more realistic rating, because there is absolutely no way this movie can beat movies like 'Pulp Fiction', 'One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest', 'Star wars', 'the LOTR Trilogy' and more it's genre: 'Iron Man', and so on, all the way down the top 250...
