This is the observation that reviewers should be making: the fight scenes are weak.

The Dark Knight, Reviewed Irritatingly
Among the more annoying habits of certain movie reviewers is the insistence on inserting politics into everything, not just movies making a discernible political statement. This has been the case with The Dark Knight, which certainly made a few allusions to post-9/11 America, but was first and foremost a superhero flick. As such, reviews of the blockbuster didn't require more than a mention in passing of the War or Terror, a limit which many reviewers ignored. Some manifestations of this are sillier than others, but I'd like them all to stop it. Please? I watch Batman to forget about W, not be reminded of him. Or I guess I could just stop reading those reviewers.
