*sigh* Am I really about to write this?

Before I start, lemme just put a disclaimer: I absolutely adore The Dark Knight. In fact I like pretty much every Batman movie. Yes, even Batman and Robin. This is the black sheep for me. I can see why it was made, how well it was made but... I just don't enjoy it.
"Why do I dislike it?" I ask myself. Yes, I ask myself why I dislike this. But I cannot grasp why. Ever had a movie that you knew people loved and was critically acclaimed, but you yourself couldn't enjoy it for some reason? That's the case with this movie and me. I can tell how well it was made, but I think the deal breaker is the whole Batman aspect.
For a Batman movie, THERE IS LITTLE TO NO BATMAN. There's maybe a half hour of Batman doing Batman things, saving Gotham and all that. But for the majority he's either being an old Bruce Wayne or he's imprisoned underground. I don't know about you guys, but when I watch a Batman movie, or read a Batman comic, I read it for Batman and his caped crusading.
They could have made the movie about a terrorist, and the simple people rising up to save the city. Which by the way does happen in the movie. But the fact that it's a Batman movie makes me think that Batman should be doing that. It fiddles with my brain in a way I can't exactly explain.
Damn that was a confusing mess of a review. Sorry folks. As I stated earlier, I can't really point out a decent reason why I disliked the movie, or at least it's difficult for me to describe. My b.
