I'm a pretty avid fan of the comic genre. My family couldn't afford for me to get into the comic books themselves, but Saturday morning cartoons were Batman, Spiderman, X-Men, Transformers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Plus I would get books from the library on the comic book (especially Marvel).
So with that kind of fandom, why am I not seeing the new Batman?
Few reasons. For one, I'm cheap. It's hardly worth the money to me to go to a theater anymore (except for the Avengers).
For two, the Dark Knight was SO BORING. Batman whined for a while, then the joker did some stuff, then they caught him, and I was ready to leave. And then, there was a whole other movie after that, that was even more boring, but with heavy handed philosophy.
After that, I had to hear forever from people who liked this movie because so many critics said it was good, but couldn't explain what they liked about it.
I'm sorry, but this movie would have been forgettable if Heath Ledger didn't kill himself.
That said, why spend fifteen bucks for a movie that I can watch on TV for free in a few years, and if I don't like it, I can change the channel?
Oh, by the way, dido for teen Spiderman.
