On a mission to rate everything 5 stars.
It’s been almost four years since I watched this and rated it a 3.5 star. A major drop from the 5 star movie I remembered from my teenage years.
I was both right and wrong. It is a 3.5 star standalone movie. But once you watch it as simply Act 2 of The Dark Knight Trilogy (immediately after watching Batman Begins), it becomes a much better movie.
This was the first time I’ve really understood the plot as deep as it is.
