I have finally watched this. And I was a bit worried about it, because with Batman Begins, I sort of enjoyed it… but was slightly underwhelmed.

Unfortunately, I felt the same here. Loads of great stuff to like - my favourite being the Joker destroying the hospital, which is both an amazing performance by Ledger, and an incredible piece of effects work. But the film as a whole, was just… fine. Perhaps good, even! But frankly, Iron Man did a hell of a lot more for me - it hooked me in the first five minutes in a way that The Dark Knight didn’t manage throughout the entire film. I really don’t get the raves about it, I’m afraid.

But I’m happy to accept that it’s just not a film for me. I liked it… but no more than that. If I’m getting slightly restless in parts which other people are thrilled by, maybe I’m just missing things about the film. I’m certainly not qualified to review it. It probably just says that my tastes are different to most other people here, but that’s fine.

I’m sorry though, but I have to side with the people who find Batman’s voice just a bit irritating. It kept taking me right out of the film. I’m sure that’s an annoying and obvious complaint, but I can’t help it!
