    Why so serious?

    Having not seen the movie yet, I'm not in a position to argue. But from what I've seen in the trailers and the IMAX featurette, it looks like an entertaining film. And I'm ready to give it the benefit of the doubt.

    This has indeed been one of the worst years for movies ever. All of them have been flawed--rushed, underdone, ill conceived, unmemorable.

    But Batman? C'mon. Did you really expect it Hitchcock? It is a comic book after all.

    Let's try putting a smile on that face.
