This movie was not nor ever will be a good movie

Rating: 5/10 (21 August 2008)

At most this movie is only popular for 2 reasons: its Batman, and Heath Ledger died after the making of this film which in turn made it a pity movie much like 'Queen of the Damned' did for Aliyah. At first I believe this movie was taking a very exciting and enriching role in the modern and 'realistic' feel most of the new super hero movies are trying to do. But somehow, they tried too hard.
We all know that Heath Ledger died. He died of an overdose at a famous twins' place. Does that mean I have to like a bad movie just because he plays the joker? He really did do a great job but the script it self and the drawn out plot just kills the move. I honestly thought it ended 3-4 times around the hour and a half marker. Too much for one movie makes it a bad movie. Try making 2-face the next villain in the NEXT movie.
Most say this was the best movie ever. If it was so great then tell me why without saying anything about Heath Ledger and his great performance that everyone already knows. Without mentioning that this is indeed a Batman movie remake made to look real and modern. Nothing about the length or the script or even how it drags on and on? Good movie. Only if you watch the first hour and half.
