Not as good as I expected. Lacking Action

Rating: 1/10 (7 August 2012)

Before I start this, let this be on the record -- you will enjoy this movie no matter what.
Having said that, I really "did" expect a bit more -- Especially in the fighting department.
A very thought-provoking film of course, but really, come on... the very essence of any super-hero flick is, the "hero vs villain" fighting archetype.
They battle for their beliefs. They battle with everything they've got. So in essence, the fight scenes have to be a bit more spectacular than that.
The script and storyline is beautiful, but the fight scenes were kind of a "street brawler" type.
With its current entirety, I would have been contented. But Because my wife and my son were still in Disney's "brave" theater, I had a few hours to kill. So I snuck inside Total Recall.
And total Recall reminded me of everything lacking with Dark Knight. Total Recall had the Jason Bourne, spy stuff, awesome fight scenes. The scenes had an efficient, no wasted movements, go for your opponent's weaknesses, fighting style.
Batman and bane looked like two ex-boxers fighting in the streets.
Too bad. I expected more. I'm an action buff. And I expected awesome action. I got it from Total Recall, but I didn't get it from Batman.
