disgraceful...total waste of time.

Rating: 1/10 (24 November 2012)

it is terrible to witness what the result of quarter of a Billion Dollars expense have come to. i personally think that such vast sum of money shouldn't be allowed to be wasted on a movie at the best of times, but in this case you tend to make allowances, it's Batman after all. i hope there is a hell, because that's where we'll find Mr. nolan and Co. and it's not because i am a devoted Christian, it's just that i'm sure that you could have made at least twenty or more beautiful movies with that money in the right hands. how could C. nolan go from a legendary movie such as "inception" to... this? and dragging just about the whole "inception" cast (minus leonardo) into this... thing? what happen to batman? i don't remember seeing him in this alleged batman movie. i saw c. bale, playing himself yet again (failure). i saw somebody that was meant to be a cat-woman of some sort (failure). i saw a poor M.Caine playing something that all it achieve was a high dose of cringing (failure). i'm sure that Mr. Caine, whom i respect as an actor very much (as far as i'm concerned M.Caine and G.Oldman are the only real actors in this cast, as the third actor was kept behind a mask for the whole duration. i know, M.Freeman was there too, but it may as well stayed home. and yes, i suppose Joseph is getting there...) must have had a fit when he was presented with the script, and if not, then is loosing his touch, although i doubt it. good old G.Oldman trying to put some life into a dieing and shredded character that never gets allowed to develop (failure). why bother? Marion's version of the vindictive bitch didn't quite convinced me. it just wasn't there (failure). maybe she got tired of the same nasty characters and maybe, they should have thrown charlize into the equation. or maybe there were too many bitch characters for one movie. OK, the plot..., what plot? i read my fair share of batman comics but i don't recall this messed up, incoherent and disjointed character that is lost, and probably thinking that he was on another movie set. in short, where the hell was Batman (failure, yet again)? not the one that recover from a broken back (and i think that that back was broken) to jump around like an acrobat, after his delicate microsurgery and chiropractor's treatment that he received in that forsaken jail by the locals... i think that in the real Batman, it was a given that he was a man after all, with all the weakness associated to it. that's why it made it more special, as we always knew that it was a superhuman effort from a man (with the help of a few gadgets). it was Batman, not Superman... and if it wasn't for CGI, where this movie would be? that's all there is, and lots of it. i suppose it need it something to make up for the, lack of a, story. i wasted three hours of my life on something utterly worthless, that's why i'm investing an extra half hour to help others to hold on their precious time and not make the same mistake i did. in short, do not waste your time and hard earned cash for this mish-mash. P.S. Does this mean that there will be a sequel with Robin...?
