Terrible

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
The direction was sloppy. It was like someone doing a terrible impression of Robert Rodriguez directing a Frank Miller movie.
The dialog was bad (more cheesy than it was even supposed to be).
The characters were not engaging.
Outside of one 5-minute stretch, the story was quite lame.

I love comic book movies, but this thing was a swing and a miss.
Please, I beg you...avoid this movie. Save your money, buy a drink, or see something else.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Ledger Steals the Show

There was hype...boy was there hype. Let me say: Heath Ledger was simply and undeniably magnificent. The joker was frightful, sickeningly humorous, dark, disturbed, and in my humble opinion the best villain ever. It was cast perfectly and delivered with perfection.
It's a shame that this had to be his swan song, but it is and it is a doozy.

This is one of those summer films we see at midnight. It was worth it.
The action scenes were tight. Bale was again great as Batman. The sound was well delivered. Gotham has never looked so good while still being Gotham.
Enough about that stuff. As a Batman "fan", will you enjoy the movie? Yes. As a movie fan, will you enjoy the movie? Yes. I give it 4 out of 5, because in my estimation Batman Begins is just a twinge better.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Ever been disappointed by a comic book movie? Spiderman let you down? Fantastic 4 made you sick?
Well rest easy my comic book loving friends, because Jon Favreau has ridden in as a knight in shining armor to save the day. What about those of you who don't care about comic books, but just like good movies? You're safe too.
I won't go into details regarding the plot, background, or spoilers. Those can be found elsewhere. Instead, let us talk about the other things that make this movie the Marvel Comics hit of the decade.
Acting: It is superb. Period. Sometimes it is hard to not be cheesy as an actor in a comic book movie. Downey, Jr, Bridges, Paltrow, et al. deliver the cheeky and, at times sincere, dialog not with the zest of Shakespearean stage actors but like modern day "any body's". They were believable.
Directing: Heck, it's Jon Favreau. It was spot on. Perfect. In this writer's opinion, only Favreau should make comic book movies from now on.
Effects: It's Industrial Lights & Magic (ILM). It looked more real than anything to this point (as it should). Remember, ILM also did most of the Transformers CGI. These guys are pros.
If you read nothing else in this little review, read this line:
SEE IRON MAN! IT IS SUPERB!
