| I def agree. Heath Ledger nailed the joker character. There was not a point in the whole movie when I got bored. Great action and Two Face looked wicked. |

Awesome movie!
Rarely do things live up to the hype, Losing your virginity is kinda awkward. First round draft picks fizzle out, but this movie blew my mind.
The movie was so well put together.
Heath Ledger played the best Joker I can imagine, it was as if he was born to play that role.(RIP)
Jack Nicholson couldn't have dreamed to play that roll any better than Heath Ledger did.
The only thing I wish was for Katie Holmes, her cute ass would've put this movie above & beyond. Wink
Otherwise, Im thinking of going to watch it again cause the movie was simply awesome. |

theres so much bull in this film its not even funny...
BEWARE SPOILERS BELOW!
first let me start by saying, okay, the film wasnt "terrible" but it wasnt anywhere near what i expected. thus why i believe its garbage.
christian bale is the worst batman ever... he simply cannot ing act. he has no emotions as either batman or bruce wayne. hes just a statue. and why the is his voice so different whenever hes wearing the batsuit? i had the same issue during batman begins. utterly retarded.
secondly, i cannot believe they couldnt bring back katie holmes for this one. shes the worst actress in history and was absoulte in batman begins, but jesus maggie gyellhall or however the her last name is spelled is just as bad. i actually cheered when she ing died.
heath ledger while good was no where near the top of his game. i feel bad for him and his family cuz hes dead and all but just because he died doesnt mean he automatically deserves an oscar, which he'll probably get anyway. really all heath ledger did was change is speech pattern a little bit and have some weird look under the makeup. there was no range in his character at all. and yes people, there was supposed to be. there were moments he was supposed to more serious and other moments he was supposed to be more comical. ledger did a terrible job adjusting to those scenes. his character acted the same way in each one of the situations. and it really bugged me that EVERY SINGLE TIME he was on screen everyone in the audience was cracking up at that wasnt even funny. yes, when he first came on screen and said some , it was funny. but it wasnt funny EVERY SINGLE TIME. but i guess the general public views it differently. its more like "awwww, hes dead, lets make him out to be some ing hero." gimme a break.
moving on... while the two face story was done pretty well it took far too long to develop and then they just killed two face off at the end without barely any climatic buildup. poooooor poor job done by the producers of this film. the buildup took far too long for him to just fall from the building and then be dead.
the whole first hour of the movie was total garbage really. all character development for characters that dont need any. all those mob guys got so much screen time and background but then just died without it even being a big deal in 0.2 nanoseconds. complete waste of film to even shoot half those scenes imo.
morgan freeman quitting in the end? okay, yes makes some sense because he didnt like how batman was using the technology. fine. but the technology gets destroyed at the end so why the does morgan freeman still quit??????? thats what morgan freeman wanted, so he gets it, and then still quits! wtf?!
the accountant guy who figures out who batman is... WHAT THE WAS THE POINT OF THAT? yes the first scene where he tells morgan freeman about it, funny, yes. but then when he comes out again and then theres that action scene. totally pointless to even include the accountant in that. another waste of 15 minutes in the movie.
that sonar technology batman uses at the end... okay, sorry... TOTAL HORSE! yes it is possible to use a cell phone signal to locate where that person is in the world. but to be able to use it so that batman has 3d vision... BULL!!! and as soon as batman goes into the under construction building, WHY IS HE STILL USING THE TECHNOLOGY???? esp when hes fighting with the joker. theres a scene where a punch from the joker seems to come out of nowhere... batman sees the punch too late but is using the sonar technology... if the joker was hiding behind a ing wall, batman should of been able to see him using the technology... but even still he was fighting the joker hand to hand so there was no need for the technology. it obviously didnt help him!!! and even the whole time they are fighting how is this technology even working because no one is on the ing phone!!!!!!
more issues i have... they never showed the joker dying... i dont think they elaborated enough on what made two face actually go evil. i mean yea we all know why cuz stupid rachel dawes died but the whole movie didnt even show their love story really so why the sudden switch to evil??? gay gay gay.
too many scenes as well where shot too dark. yes i understand its happening at night but when i cant see where batmans punch is coming from its because its poor art direction. and i had a good seat in the theatre. middle of the screen in height just a little offcentered to the left. so it wasnt my view that let me not see . it was the ing movie.
oh and dont get me started on the fact that the batmobile gets shot with a bazooka or whatever and it doesnt work for crap but then all of a sudden the batbike works... HAHAHAHHAH... such garbage. also when batman almost runs the joker over with the batbike and then goes up a wall and immediatly comes to a complete stop. JESUS CHRIST, ON THIS PLANET THERE ARE THINGS CALLED PHYSICS AND THAT IS TOTAL BULL! sir isaac newton would be turning over in his grave if hed seen that .
i realize im taking a lot of these scenes too far... "its just a movie" esp a comic book movie... and all that crap. but when i find soooooooooooo many things wrong with a movie the first time i see it... thats when i say things like...
THE DARK KNIGHT SUCKED!
now please, if someone can please explain to me WHYYYYYYYYY the this movie was "good" and "amazing" and all that bull... id like to hear it. because as of now, all ive heard from everyone is "it was amazing and mindblowing" but not a single ing person can explain to me whyyyyyy. ive done my explaining... now lets hear some counter arguements.
overall, this movie was about as good as batman begins. not amazingly mind blowing nor absolute suckage... but just the fact that everyone is making this one out to be the best movie of the year (all because heath ledger died) is total bull. |

which is really sad. because regardless of the rant if this movie would of come out before heath ledger died no one would of cared. it would of gotten just as much attention as batman begins, which simply wasnt much.
and yet again... another example of someone who cant explain WHY the movie was actually good. i know some of you can... but morons like this fool suck christians bales dick but dont know why. |

I saw Dark Knight today and thought the movie was great. Christian Bale was great as usual in all his movies and Heath Ledger was great as the joker. To respond to Pat, Christian can definitely act and is not the worst Batman. Christian was great in Amercan Psycho and the Machinist. Christian definitely brings that darkness to the Batman character that's needed. Unlike George Clooney, Val Kilmer and Michael Keaton. And Christian talks different so he doesn't sound like Bruce Wayne when in costume. He's trying to keep his ID secret.
Heath Ledger was great and his performance is inspiring as Jack Nicholson in the 1st new Batman movie. Of course Heath brought a more dark side to the Joker than Jack. I recall everyone excited about Jack's performance back then too.
My problems were the Two face story and thought it was rushed and maybe even not necessary. It made the movie run a little long. The spying by listening at the phone calls was a thinly veiled stab at the government and a little too far fetched. I didn't care for Maggie G either. She seems like an annoying person and it comes through her character.
Still a great movie and will buy on BD when it comes out. |
