I ain't that impressed

Rating: 4/10 (4 August 2008)

Just for the record I'm not the biggest batman fan, even though I liked the tim burton version and watched the cartoon shows doesn't mean squat. I hated that awful batman beyond, the other batman sequels. So I'm 50/50 on batman. To me when I saw batman begins I was only anticipating a bad movie considering the fact that I did not enjoy any of Joel Schulmacher versions. When I finally saw batman begins I couldn't help but vomit. Why was this s**t a hit? I went to go see the sequel only cause I was on a date and she loved the Joker character, so thats how I ended up seeing the Dark knight film.
When I watched the dark knight I was still expecting a bad flick with that awful music score and the cheesy deadpan acting with its dialogue that can put an 8 year old to sleep. Well I knew it wasn't that great from the get go.
I'm aware of Heath ledgers tragic death. But a movie is still a movie and I hate the fact that they are overhyping it cause of his death and that makes me sick.
The movie was downright disappointing to me. I apologize to all the comic book aficionados but I wasn't impressed.
1. The plot of the movie seems kind of out there: Manipulating a campaign to cause havoc? Like people give a crap about politics.
2. The Joker is overrated. Heath ledger didn't give a bad performance but the character of the joker is a far departure from all the other jokers. To me all I saw was "the Crow" with green hair. Whats with that thing he does with his tongue? As for his scars, they just remind me of the character "Kakihara" from ichi the killer. So I didn't get any kind of entertainment from the joker.
3. Batmans voice: Come on!! Thats the most laughable voice I ever heard on batman!! It sounds like he should be in a death metal band. I couldn't help but cringe. It sounded like fingers scratching against the chalk board.
4. Its boring music score. Your gonna tell me that it overshadows Danny elfman batman score? It was used in the damn cartoon!! The Danny elfman score is a work of music art. I don't even remember how the music went in this new batman film.
I can go on even further into why I didn't like this batman film but it'll be longer so I'll just end it in the ups I thought should be mentioned.
Twoface: Aaron Eckhart gave a great performance in a great re-introduction of the villain. Wheres his Oscar nom? Gary oldman: The man rules as commissioner gordan.
As far as I see it, even if it beats out titanic or new york city gets re-named Gotham city. I wouldn't buy this film on DVD or blu-ray even if the Joker has a gun to my head.
PS: Jack Nicholson still kicks Heaths ass!!
