Boring and humourless

Rating: 3/10 (30 July 2012)

While fanboys and those under 21 will doubtless find this a fantastic movie, I spent most of the film hoping the end would come quickly.
I'm not going to fault the acting, cinematography, or effects, but I simply couldn't find a connection with any of the characters, and the plot of menacing baddie who wants to destroy Gotham City, was so tired and has been done so many times before.
But the worst thing for me was the lack of humour or flair. Batman spent most of his time in fist fights or flying a huge ugly black helicopter, which in no way lived up to the legacy of beautifully designed Batman gadgets and vehicles. And there was almost no humour, certainly none that even raised a smile from me. No joker at all!
The one redeeming point? Catwoman. She stole the show, though there wasn't much to steal.
