Re: What critically beloved film do you think is overrated?

[(Anonymous)]

I feel that to work properly, Batman needs a good helping of camp. THe Nolan films just played it too straight and too much of a gun fetishist's movie for me.

This is also true! Like, let's be honest here, at its heart, Batman is about a mentally ill billionaire dealing with crippling trauma by dressing up as a giant bat and terrifying criminals. The premise is inherently ridiculous, and if you can't admit to this on some level, I can't really get into it. I can't help but think, "But guys... HE'S DRESSED AS A BAT. HE HAS POINTY EARS."

I also feel like live-action might have a play in that too. Animation is in some ways more forgiving--it's not real, it's inhabited by Bugs Bunny and Betty Boop, so it inhabits its own reality and rules. Ditto with comics--no matter how realistic the style, it's still not real people. But once you have Batman as live-action, and are trying to play the story as "realistic" as possible, well. That whole goofiness-of-premise thing can cause some major cognitive dissonance.

Maybe that's just me, though.
