I have a hard time giving any movie 5 starts. That said, I really like this movie. I am not one of these people with a long history of Batman and strong pre-conceived notions. I just thought that it was a fun movie. It was action packed and enjoyable to watch. However, don't attend thinking that this is going to be joyous and uplifting. It is the opposite: dark and heavy. The ending is unexpected and you will likely leave the movie pondering.
