Most people call this the best film about the man who wears a mast on the upper part of his face ever. They say that it`s more serious than anything ever to come out of Gotham city and that it leaves the story of comic books behind. Did I notice the difference? Partly yes and partly no. Yeah, there are several things about this film that make it less silly than some of the previous Batman flicks - at least there are no half-penguin like creatures or scientists that go crazy after some accident at an experiment. But there are several silly things as well - first, it`s the whole thing with those Tibetean ninjas or whatever they are called that happen to be a secret organisation called the "league of shadows" which has existed for several thousands of years (masons! masons! grab your sticks and kick them in the face!). Then there`s the whole thing with the idea that Batman can`t just let a villain die simply because Batman is sooo good. At least the whole thing with the part that requires a regular use of your handkerchief doesn`t developed particulary far. Surely this film is watchable and it probably goes smoothly enough to keep you interested, but as it almost always is with films like this it doesn`t stay in your memory for quite a long time. As a big screen adaptation of a comic book (which it partly remains even if the story isn`t written by whoever wrote that comic) it`s pretty solid. As solid cinematography - it`s not bad but surely not more than that.
