I didn’t find it to be preachy.
Well, I haven’t seen it yet, so can’t judge. And I wasn’t referring specifically to DKR, but to any movie. I go to movies to be entertained, and that is the only reason that I go.
If a movie agrees with me on these kind of issues, great. If not, I ignore those parts and watch the movie. If the disagreement is egregious enough, I leave.
If I know in advance that I am going to be offended, I don’t lay down my hard earned shekels.
From what I have experienced is previous Batman movies, I would probably go and enjoy even there were a liberal message to it.
In the meantime, if a conservative movie somehow slipped out of Hollywood, I say hooray.
