Skipped out to see the new Batman movie this afternoon. So-so ho-hum. I like movies with real plots. The Joker played by Heath Ledger was pretty fantastic. The makeup was great. The story -- feh.
I agree. I guess it's probably hard for them to satisfy the basic Batman villain-superhero model but I wish there was a more original plot. Some of the lines and acting were sub-par too and the end seemed a bit rushed (probably because the movie was a little too long).

Major plot problems. Note to self: reconsider going to movies where the screenplay is written by the director and his brother (note: exception if both are named Cohen).

batman is more complex than villian + superhero. i can't wait to see ledger. btw, think about this. you don't cast a batman, you cast a bruce wayne. bale locked in that role in American Psycho.

Action heroes do not have a parable? Shoot kill and come back to life? Sounds like mental masturbation!

Heath's performance as the Joker was outstanding. Action sequences were very good. Movie itself was pretty good but I think already a little over-rated. Is much "darker" than the previous one, not as much fun. Not a movie for kids either.

Ledger was good. The fiilm cheated on action sequences. At a certain point one stops caring. Looong.

Dave did the Comcast truck follow you when you went to see the movie, or you went incognito dressed up as Scoble? lol

I love Ledger's performance and liked the movie a lot. A bit long but never boring.

What a great loss for us, in losing a great actor like Heath Ledger. The best portrayed Batman villian ever. I can just watch frames with Heath and come away satisfied for the money I payed, the rest is just bonus.
