My partner and I were very surprised by how boring this was! I started checking email on my PDA just to pass the time - something I have never done at a movie I paid for! Lots of chase scenes, (which I find dull anyway) but sort of average ones-- nothing special. Obvious plot - I realize this originates from a comic, and so is painted with a broad brush, good versus evil, mad versus sane, blah-blah, but thought from reviews that this somehow reached beyond that. It didn't. Not-spectacular special effects. Atmosphere-- Gloomy Gotham, etc, Yawn. I did not see that the acting redeemed it it any way. Some cute lines, but not enough to make it worth seeing. Not awful, just not very interesting.
