I've heard people talk about this film, about how intelligent it is because it talks about the character's fears and motivations and how he deals with them, and it all sounds great. Nevertheless, actually sitting in this film and watching it, I couldn't help but think--this is dung. The philosophical babbling was tedious. The action and fight scenes were dull and nothing different than 1000 other films. Batman was a plastic, chisel-faced manikin. Katie Hudson was nothing special. What happened to the color-fol villains? The Joker? The Riddler? The Penguin? This villain was boring as hell. I'll admit that this is not my favorite genre. But I liked some of the earlier Batman movies, and I liked both Spiderman movies. This one was just junk. If I had been by myself, I would've walked out.
