Kevin Smith Reviews new Batman

From his Myspace blog.

Without giving anything away, this is an epic film (and trust me: based on the sheer size and scope of the visuals and storytelling, that's not an overstatement). It's the "Godfather II" of comic book films and three times more earnest than "Batman Begins" (and fuck, was that an earnest film). Easily the most adult comic book film ever made. Heath Ledger didn't so much give a performance as he disappeared completely into the role; I know I'm not the first to suggest this, but he'll likely get at least an Oscar nod (if not the win) for Best Supporting Actor. Fucking flick's nearly three hours long and only leaves you wanting more (in a great way). I can't imagine anyone being disappointed by it. Nolan and crew have created something close to a masterpiece.

He also liked Wall-E. FWIW, I'm a huge Kevin Smith hater. Man, I cannot stand this guy's movies. This is one of those weird moments where I'm totally out of touch with my cohort of film lovers, and I have every reason to love this guy, but I don't. Dialogue-focused with oodles of comic book and movie lore references, yet I've just never felt a single one of his movies was even remotely funny or interesting. But, I will give the guy credit for bringing Green Arrow back to life. I reluctantly liked those stories a lot.
