Usual Kindergartenlike Hollywood plot

Rating: 1/10 (31 July 2012)

How to write a review long enough so that it actually gets posted. It is not worth the time to write a lengthy detailed review of the bad things that already have been said.
So I'll just spew out my opinion/question: Why do these movies with story lines for 10 year-olds, score so big with adults?
This movie is your typical Hollywood movie completely over-saturated with clichés and depictions of how people would never react to events in real life. Perfect example: The explosions at the stadium. It shows an entire stadium full of people reacting the way no human would ever react in real life. I mean "come one." Did the people in the theater shooting react the same way and stay in place? No.... Right there is where I have the biggest problem with the movie... The stretch is just too much... and that is just one example. This movie is saturated with fantasy that is just illogical.
It seems as the movie tries to depict a cliché version of life's highs and lows that have been depicted way too many times in other movies.
I remember watching "Independence Day" many years ago and initially thinking it was a great movie, but then as I watched it again, I noticed that there were too many stereotypical Hollywood (America is the world saver) scenes in this movie.
This batman movie is exactly like that. It is a recycling of the same overall American Cliché depicted in so many Hollywood movies.
It is beyond me how people keep liking the same stuff over and over again.
------------- On a positive side, I think the acting was superb. I do like the entire cast. --------------
Nevertheless, everything else in this movie - from the plot to the directing was horrendous.
