The Dark Knight (2008)

"Come on people this is no way near top 100 material"

[1/10 · 16 December 2013]

Really this movie is wrong in every way it is an example of how not to tell a superhero movie placing it in reality is OK but then you are bound to the rules of reality and this movies applies superhero rules in reality(jumping on a car in the car park without breaking legs ??) And it also defies logic(henchmen who keep getting killed and still there is an ample supply of to fill the ranks,these guys must be dumb.) A villain who act contrary to what he proclaims he isn't funny(he is not chaos he acts to much like like an Einstein for that). needless sidetracks that lead to nothing(the whole bullet set-up). The philosophy 101 scenes that interrupt the flow of the movie just to make a point is so lame. The totally wooden acting from everyone except Ledger and Oldman(as if they edited all the worst takes of the other actors to give Ledger's performance some shine??) Setting is not Gothic it is dark techno-punk or tech-noir the city doesn't look like the city in Batman Begins(which was a great film). This part is not needed if you look at the three movies because it has nothing to do with the story-line of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises (Dent was not in BB and TDKR and Two-Face was killed in this movie and Rachel whose part had a different actress than BB is killed of and for the plot of TDKR Rachel is only needed to be reminded that she is dead ,and would not have waited for Bruce.) Even the Joker's performance isn't that great either but it stands out because all the other acting is wooden. I can continue about more things that annoy me about The Dark Knight but then I can write a page full of things.What surprised me what rating this got and that is too much for such a bad movies that tries to be two movies at once but fails at both of them. (and the raspy voice and way to prominent soundtrack)
