Over-hyped, but solid
PostedJuly 31, 2008

So after much critical hype, I finally had to go see this movie again (walked out the first time, due to an issue at home). My initial feelings did not change that much, after watching the entire movie. It was solid, but clearly over-hyped from a critical review standpoint -- best movie ever? No. Best Comic Book movie ever? Not sure, but that's not saying much. To me, a great movie means great writing, great acting, and ultimately a story that either moves me, or thoroughly entertains me. Was it a solid movie? Yes. But, and this is a big but, it was way too long, way too dark (evil in spirit), and I'm just a little worn out after 6 versions of this character, even if the series basically started over with Bale and Batman Begins. I guess as the story evolved, it just didn't matter to me who lived and who died -- the characters did not engage me to the point that I cared about them enough for it to matter. I ow far too may dvds and buy far too many digital downloadss for my own good, but when this comes out on dvd, I will pass. I just don't need to see this movie again -- and that, is antoher way to consider this review, i.e. one and done.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
