I love the Batman saga, read the comic books growing up and especially have been pleased with all of the newer batman movies. In this one, the director was far too in love with his work. While the movie had a few good moments, most were drawn out and if 30-45 minutes were carefully cut, it might have been the great movie that it deserved to be.

I felt that the Catwoman character was great and actually all of the characters were pretty well done, there was just way too much time spent on special effects and not enough on the real meat of the story. After about an hour, I was fighting to stay awake. Having fewer story lines might have helped also.

I am sure that there are some that loved this movie, but if they took the time to actually think about it they would realize that this was just one loooong special effect.
