not bad, but I never felt involved in his film. Maybe it's the lack of an attractive leading woman, or that they barely filled out her character beyond "quirky". Really, it's hard to understand why he's so in love with her with what I saw in the film. Seems like many of the best lines were in the previews.

At times it also felt like many scenes were just pop tunes and scenery. I did like the happy scene where he dances with people in the street and the bluebird of happiness shows up, that was good.

Overall, though, it felt a little contrived to me. Also, why does every guy in the movies now have two friends who give him advice about relationships? Is this now a rule of comedy that 3 guys have to get together throughout the film and talk about relationships?

well, it looks to me like the industry people got on IMDb and wrote glowing reviews of this film. Some problems with this movie:

• everyone in it is miserable. Is it too much for a story based on a comic book to have a little lightness in it?

• The Joker isn't funny, he's just sick. Why bother to have the Joker if he isn't funny? You may as well have some regular psycho. Ledger does a great job with the character, but it's not written well. - like the last Batman movie, the action sequences are long and things whiz by when you can't really see or tell what's happening. Also like the last movie, there are a huge number of explosions and big special effects, yawn. - There really isn't much to root for here. Bale is dour and boring as Bruce Wayne/Batman and the only halfway likable character in the film is the character played by Maggie Gyllenhal.
