Also, with the magic trick, the bike stunts, a guy flying in a batsuit, tons of exploding gas canisters, cell-phone bombs and so on, I really don't think your argument of "realism" hold water.
But to each his own. However, I do watch all sorts of action movies, and I really fail to see how the action in this one was in anyway special, except for the absurd length of the whole thing and the general problem of there not being much, if any, suspense in any of the action scenes.
High budget action films usually manage to draw me into the action through one trick or the other. This just left me cold.
And I must add, I always really make an effort to like superhero films, because I like superheros. But when I feeling that my times been wasted, I have to say so.
How does this compare to Batman Begins? I thought Begins was more interesting. Scarecrow was a good choice for a bad guy, and the whole thing just did better with the "suspension of disbelief thing". It was also shorter, which was a bonus. It's been a couple of years, but I think it was something like three out of five. No more for sure. But I didn't feel bored while watching it.

First off, I never said that Batman was realistic, just way more realistic than Wanted, I don't know how you could debate that. Secondly, name me an action movie that includes big chase scene in the last 10 years that wasn't absurd in its sense of realism.
As far as your nitpicking in your first paragraph, come on man....let it go, enjoy the movie, stop looking for things to be "that guy" who didn't like one of the best reviewed movies of the year.
