I'm a little surprised at all of the 5 star reviews. I wonder if these people were watching the same movie my wife and I were. Was it big, visually stimulating, and fast paced? Sure. Was it the best movie ever, or an "OMG I have to see that again!" movie? Nope. It was ok. Heath Ledger blew away Nicholson's Joker with ease, but what is the deal with Christian Bale's forced, deep, rasp when in costume? It seemed like a really bad impersonation of Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry. Anyway, it was ok and certainly entertaining. I just wouldn't give it 5 stars.
