And the Oscar for Overrated Movie of the Year goes to...

Rating: 4/10 (4 October 2008)

Dark Knight.
If anything good came of this, the movie prompted me to get off my keester and sign up at IMDb, if only at the outrage (OK, maybe disbelief) that this movie is rated 9.1 and currently the 3rd highest ranked movie in IMDb history.
Long time reader and user but non-contributor here, now needing to get this off my chest.
Even if you go into this movie with the low expectations that need to go with comic book movies, this one stretches far fetched to new limits.
The acting, aside from the performance offered by Ledger, was given a terrible screenplay and it showed, and at time makes you want to look away. Bale is horrible as Batman, a hoarse menacing voice accompanied by an overacting mouth, made we wish for Michael Keaton again.
I could go on, but I won't. To say that this movie is better than Schindler's List, La Dolce Vita, It's a Wonderful Life, and about 100 other movies that are great to OK, makes me lose just a little faith in our internet institutions.
