No review? I was wondering what you thought of it.

I guess, like most people, I thought it was fantastic. It got a little clunky and over-wrought at the end, maybe one too many action sequences and too many stories climaxing at once, but overall, I loved it.

Why doesn’t Batman help out in other cities? Or in Iraq? Seems selfish.

And why do all the bad guys come to Gotham if he’s there?

And how in the hell did the Joker wire an entire hospital to explode without being noticed?

Just a few questions…

you should read Watchmen if you want to see superheroes deal with international political fiascoes (sort of). it also kind of addresses how the mere presence of masked heroes invites the presence of masked villains. you have to understand all these people, heroes or villains, are kind of crazy for doing what they’re doing, so i suppose insanity attracts more insanity. i’m kind of excited for the movie, but zach snyder (mr. 300) might completely screw it up. we’ll see.

Yeah, not perfect but great. I actually liked it more the second time I saw it, when I could concentrate on the story and not get caught up in all the ‘twists.’
