If you've managed to hold out this long on dropping some coin on what has become the biggest superhero film franchise in history, then you should probably go ahead and take the plunge.
I've been known to complain about the lack of good science fiction cinema these days, but I suppose there's rarely been a time when there were consistently good sci-fi films filling the theaters.
There's a lot of fire and huge explosions, as well as quite a few nightmarish hallucinations as the citizens of Gotham are exposed to the Scarecrow's Fear Gas. And along the way, Batman even rescues a young Joffrey Baratheon.
However, this is something of a double-edged sword, as the filmmakers spend so much time and effort paying such close attention to the examination of Batman that the rest of the characters go to waste.
