SPOILERS AHEAD!
list of complaints i have heard from people who have seen the film:
1. Movie too cerebral, aka comic book takes itself too serioulsy and acts all hitchcock.
2. Too long
3. Utterly Humorless and boring
4. Pathos of the characters makes no sense aka the batman saves joker.
5. destroyed the batmobile again
6. The batman character has no motivation in the film, no save the girl or get revenge on the man who murdered his parents like in the 89 movie.
7. costume design epic fail like watchmen, batcycle uncessary and stupid only in film to sell toys.
8. The movie is so dark in tone that it is batshit crazy and runs off the reels. Unlike begins which was middle of the road.
9. the joker performance advertised as chilling to the bone comes off as accidentaly laugh out loud funny, there were people in the theater laughing their asses off.
10. Movie is dissjointed, there is no real beginning, middle and end. The movie fails thematically and their is no resolution to the plot at the end of the film, neither is there any hint at a cliffhanger the movie just ends like it is a story only half finished.
I think # 1,4 & 6 are very important points. The movie took an iconic character and totally rewrite him, unnecessarily. It was not the batman I know and they did not do a good job in "evolving" or changing how he is in my opinin.
#10. I agree with that, especially with the ending, it was done poor. Dispatching Two-Face so quickly and not allowly the chance to further develope his chracter in the next movie was a complete failure. Saving the Joker and not wrapping up his story was terrible.
The movie didnt seem "grounded," it was flmisy and all over the place. Batman falls about 20+ stories with Rachel, doesnt use any gadgets to save them and they are completely uninjuried. Batman falls ~5 stories at the end and has trouble getting up.
People talk like they have watched this amazingly well done movie and its full of scenes and situations that are really poorly done that youd have to be blind not to see. I dont know what people saw.
