(362 posts)While the character is overexposed to the point of parody, that wasnt a bad movie. Its probably the closest to the comics of any of the Batman films Ive seen - Batman spends most of the film in costume, treats Bruce Wayne as a secondary persona, acts as more of a detective than a ninja, and operates in a pitch-dark world of corruption, drugs, and homicide.
I wouldnt say its a great film, but they managed to do something a little different with the character, and I can give it a solid recommend if you like the superhero genre.

However, if a movie (or TV series) isn't holding your interest, then bail. There are lots and lots of other things to watch.
Same with books. For a long time I felt that I absolutely had to finish any book I started. Over time I came to realize that not every book is worth finishing. Life is too short. Do not waste time reading or watching something you don't like. And it does not matter in the tiniest how many other people think it's wonderful. If you don't, then it's not wonderful for you and move on.

Nope. No psychological hangups at all.
Of course, you could always stay tuned to the news for the latest info on the Queen's funeral.
