Don't insult my intelligence BD. The microwave thing didn't make much difference really, it just stood out as something that was clearly silly and unresearched, and it marked the point where the film really started going downhill for me. If it had been called an inverted quantum vapourizer it wouldn't have made much difference. For me the film was just another fairly weak superhero comic-cum-movie with Batman instead of Daredevil. The acting was fine and the action was cool, but everything else was just cliched for the nth time and THAT's why I didn't enjoy it.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Why is everyone so concerned with the science of the movie? It's ****ing Batman. Since when has science ever needed to be correct in Superhero movies?

My god you people, there were NINJAS.

Interesting, that's never happened to me in a theater. The projector failed once, but that was it.

This movie had Ra's Al Ghul. You can't get better than that for a Batman villain. He's practically immortal. ^_^

I just saw it. And honetsly, I LOVED IT. I want to see it again.

But, as for the inconsistencies, I think they are reinventing the whole series though. I mean that they are practically throwing out what was done before. I mean the killer of his parents didn't even ask him, "tell me, have you even danced with the devil in the pale moon light?"

Not insulting your intelligence. That's never the point.

I'm insulting your lack of imagination. The mere fact you want a quantum vapouriser, should show you how much you're focusing on the wrong aspect of the story.

The name of the movie isn't "Microwave evaporator OMGZ LOLZORZ ONLY WATER!".

Wrong

Thing

To

Focus

On

Personally I was judging the movie by its story, actors acting capabilities, execution, camera work, the way the directors and editors pieced it together, and the overall feeling I had when I finished watching it - all of it in comparison to the previous four, and my knowledge of comics/cartoons/series.

The thing was badass, and I wouldn't really call it clichéd. Yes, a lot of obvious stuff, and nothing too extravaganza when it comes to the mind aspect, agreed.

DUH - hello? It's Batman. You weren't expecting Rocket Science, were you? Attributing a downfall of a movie to some trivial matter such as that weapon is just simply inane.

Congrats on all the intelligence though.

Indeed.

Not only did the movie have NINJAS! but Liam Neeson as well. Those two alone are a combination to be hailed.

teh winnar!
