Lila Edmonton Age: 26 Posts: 1184	I was stupid enough to go see the movie The Dark Knight and to sum it up in a few words review - it SUCKS. Right from the beginning the movie lived off of the fact that one of their main protagonists - Heath Ledger died. As much as the passing of Heath Ledger was a very sad thing to happen, it did help promote the movie and made people talk about it and want to go see it. Had Heath Ledger not died, The Dark Knight would be just another Batman movie that makes a few million dollars and is put on a shelf as pretty good, but nothing much. I wish I could classify The Dark Knight as "pretty good, but nothing much" but considering this is a 2008 movie, I can't. All I can say is - The Dark Knight Sucked! It sucked elephant balls. The cast, except from Heath Ledger were almost all amiss. In particular Christian Bale who is the most obnoxious male actor out there. His acting skills suck, how face sucks and the way he talk completely sucks. And... and this has got to be a fucking joke - did those people in Hollywood, in particular Warner Bros not notice that it's fucking 2008 already? Batman used to wear rubber costumes back in the 70's when computer effects were not as advanced. This has been figured out by movie studios from 1980's and now, three decades later, Warner Bros come with a movie where Batman wears a silly rubber costume. Give me a fucking break, what a failure. The Dark Knight Sucks! Nevermind third grade special effects, let me get back to terrible acting and absolutely horrible cast (once again, Heath ledger DID do a great job, he's not included in this). Christian Bale is the worst actor ever. I enjoyed Shaft, great performance by Samuel L. Jackson, and the only weak link in entire movie was obnoxious, untalented presence of Christian Bale. then look at America Psycho - could have been a good movie, but the obnoxious mug of Christian Bale and his speech impediment fucked it all up and made it worthless. And it is just the same in Dark Knight. Add to it female character who hisses as she speaks and you have a cast that you can’t listen to. It was annoying listening to the dialogue by people who can’t talk and make who sort of annoying sounds. The movie itself has way too many long and boring passages. I can’t imagine anyone who’d buy a DVD watching it without a remote control in their hands. Never ending, boring scenes that take away from any potential excitement you may have accumulated during some potentially exciting minute. Overall I find The Dark Knight a joke. A failure. The Dark Knight Sucks. If it wasn’t for Heath Ledger’s death, it would have never broken the Box Office records. He was the only one who did decent job acting and he’s the sole reason why box office figures for this movie seem to suggest it’s a success. Look past the tip of your nose and you’ll see a worthless movie that’s a waste of time to watch. It will irritate you with hissing sounds main characters make as they speak and the special effects look like they were done a few decades back. The joke robotic voice run through 1978 voice effector that Batman uses when he’s dressed up in his 1965 rubber batman suit that went out of style for Halloween 25 years ago sort of masks irritating voice of Christian Bale, but it is such a joke, you ask yourself inside – what in the crappy hell am I doing in the movie theater. Is this a movie for backwards people who still live in the 70’s and haven’t noticed that the world has moved forward, or are we in an asylum for mentally challenged so we’re going to clap even if something sucks? The Dark Knight = FAIL

I guess you're going to complain because superman wears cloth right? The "dull" scenes were to build up the story.. if it didn't have that people with your out look would have bitched about it lacking a story. The Dark Knight is an AMAZING movie. I plan on seeing it again.

Lila Edmonton Age: 26 Posts: 1184	Give me one thing you liked about this movie? I say after you've seen any crime thriller, you've seen The Dark Knight. It's the most unoriginal movie ever filmed. It's got nothing to impress. Just overused, recycled ideas that never make you say "wow". What it does have is really bad acting and probably the worst camera operator in the world, who revolves around the subject in focus all the time throughout the movie. Take a note of that next time you’re going to see a movie. The camera movement always the same. Spinning around two people talking. Spinning and spinning and then spinning some more. As for crappy rubber costume that kids stopped wearing for Halloween 40 years ago - have you seen Spiderman movies? Hae you noticed how his spider costume improved with each next installment of the movie? You could tell that when new Spiderman was filmed, everything about the movie improved. Look at Harry Potter movie. Each new movie looks much better than the previous, in all aspects. Now look at The Dark Knight - back to the 60's. These guys seem to have missed the train. Must have spent last few decades in the cave or something.

Pluvius Pennsylvania, USA Age: 21 Posts: 100	Hahaha. You quote Spider-Man's shitty live-action costume as an example of good change, & then you try & say those awful Harry Potter movies were good. Everyone was good in The Dark Knight, really. BTW, I would consider The Joker an antagonist, since, you know, he is.

pothead Fort McMurray Age: 26 Posts: 774	Went to see Dark Knight. It wasn't much, but it was watchable. I think that once you get past first one and a half hour of boring shit, then you're in for a decent ride. However, I have to say Lila is right in one thing - and the responses she got prove it. It can be summed up in two simple points: #1 - The Dark Knight is crap movie #2 - Heath Ledger was absolutely amazing Take a look at any review on the net, take a look at any response Lila got and you'll see for yourself. Everybody loved Heath Ledger and rightly so. The Joker was what made the movie. Everybody else sucked. The Joker is what everybody is amazed with. Everything else sucked. Take Heath Ledger away from the movie, and you've got a piece of crap that no one would give better ranking than 3/10. The Dark Knight seriously sucked, but Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker was so astonishing, it made the movie. It made the movie what it is. Heath Ledger is why The Dark Knight broke box office records. Nothing else. I also agree with Lila about the slow pace of the movie. Director Christopher Nolan should really watch The Scorpion King to see what a movie that doesn't have a single boring minute and everything just rolls at you the second the movie starts till the second closing captions roll in looks like. Plus he should watch Wall-E to learn how a length of a movie doesn't make it a masterpiece. Making a long movie does not necessarily make it good. In case of Wall-E, the movie starts, you enjoy it immediately until the movie ends. In case of The Dark Knight, the movie starts, you chat with your friends, you look around, you look at the watch to see how long till the end and only as you reach the end something exciting starts happening. In addition, script writer should watch The Happening so he/she understands what "original ideas" for a movie means. Those few cool moments make The Dark Knight watchable. I wouldn't say it sucks. It's watchable and it's somewhat enjoyable. Just make sure you got games on your cell phone so you can get through never-ending boring parts. Since I just saw it and it’s very fresh, I'd rate The Dark Knight at 6.9/10

Toxic Blacksburg, SC, USA Age: 20 Posts: 425	Give you one thing I liked about the movie? The story. Batman. The way Twoface looked, and as it has been said several times... the Joker. The ONLY thing getting any better about the Harry potter movies is Hermine. They're leaving more and more of the story out.. if I wanted to see a blood and guts movie I'd have went to see Wanted again. So you don't like an actors voice. As with several other people on this site you allow that to ruin a movie for you. The acting was just fine. Were you upset badman had such few emotions or something? As for Spiderman's costume... it's cloth... with little flashy lines... not that big of an improvement. As for the first hour and half of "boring stuff" I Just don't see it.. There were many many scenes threw out the first of the movie that made all of my friends and I sit on the edge of our seats.. I'd give this movie a 9/10 I personally think it should have ended sooner... but that's it... the rest of the movie was spectacular

Angie Calgary Age: 23 Posts: 4736	I didn't go to see the Dark Knight and probably won't anytime soon, but I do want to check it out eventually just so I know what the fuss is all about. I definitely agree with notion that Christian Bale is one of the worst actors ever. I don't understand sudden obsession with him and how he gets cast to all big movies. Didn't he just sign a contract to do 3 upcoming terminator movies or something like that? Weird. American Psycho was a good movie, but I can see it as so much better if it had different lead character, Christian Bale is simply not a good actor. But anyway. I didn't go to see the dark Knight and will not until the madness calms down. I do want to see it eventually, but I hate over crowded movie theaters stuffed with kids chomping on pop corn and slurping on extra large pop who think they're smart and won't shut their fucking faces. Plus I'm not too fond of standing in a 2 miles long line of doom full of morons, just to get a fucking ticket. And I have an idea for Lila. I think you should go see Mama Mia. That movie is so bad it will fix your outlook on any other movie, even Batman 3. You will have loved Batman 3 once you have seen the gayest of the gay movie Mama Mia. It's ridiculous. Come to think about it. Maybe it was a conspiracy. Maybe Mama Mia was financed by the same people who financed The Dark Knight and they timed the release dates to be close to each other, so people can go see Mama ia first and when they go to see The Dark Knight, they will think it's the best fucking movie ever. Just because any movie if best fucking movie ever after you have seen Mama Mia. That would explain all the good reviews The Dark Knight received. It's a conspiracy, but it turned out to be a profitable venture.

Paulie Edmonton Age: 21 Posts: 2140	Batman isn't supposed to be an over emotional superhero like Spidy, or even Superman, not for the world anyways. I thought the Batman/Wayne was amazing in this movie. There was enough emotion to show he was new at the game still, and enough to show he is definitley human. That is the Bat. So is the rubber suit, the gagets, and definitely his choice of actions in the movie. Wtf is wrong with story and character development? It's like, any movie that HAS either is to long, any movie that doesn't have it, is shitty. I would rather sit and watch a movie that's 5 hours long, with enough character development that we see Bruce Wayne picking his nose, than sit and watch Bruce go from "oh gee I donno" to "HELL YA KICK BUTT" in less than 2 minutes. The special effects were perfectly DC/Batman style, the story was good, Bruce was great, Harvey was a maniac, the Joker was insane. My only annoyance during the entire movie was the female actor, and it was her face that annoyed me, not her acting skills... -OH! And the Jokers laughing gas... I missed it a lot. It would have been a great addition. It was definitely more Batman than the last billion movies, now that they have the guts to take these movies to darker levels.

pothead Fort McMurray Age: 26 Posts: 774	Speaking of character deveopment in a movie - you're right. Not getting enough, aka not getting you as a viewer properly connected with main character is a miss. But so is overdoing it and boring you as a viewer to death before something happens. One is not good, but the other one is not good either. And this is how you can tell a good movie from a bad one. A good movie has it just right. Enough character development to get you connected and "involved" to feel with main character, but not more than is needed to get you bored and start counting minutes. Wall-E is the best example ever. The producers get you entirely connected with main character to the point that you root for him like it's a question of life and death. Undeniable strong connection developed without making you feel bored and by the time you realize it, the action just draws you right in and you go throughout the movie like you're on a roller coaster. The Incredible Hulk was the same way. Perfect job on behalf of production team. You get connected with main character right away, you can feel his pain and know how he's suffering and trying so hard to get himself cured before he can hurt someone. His inner struggle is clear to you right from the beginning of the movie and before you could get bored with his inner struggle, the action starts pouring right at you and doesn't let go till the movie is over. Also take a look at Matrix. Character development there was a little bit overboard, however the movie was dealing with subject matter that was not overdone so right form the beginning the viewers were already sounding the "wow's". And by the end of The Matrix you're like - holy shit... The Dark Knight didn't deliver any of that. It was an OK movie, watchable and one could enjoy it on a good day, but it was far from an overinflated, mega awesome flick the reviewers are making it be. Christopher Nolan has a long way to go before he makes a movie that actually kicks ass. The Dark Knight wasn't one of them. But it wasn't a complete miss either.

Twilight-Spider Victoria, BC Age: 26 Posts: 562	I disagree. I thought the movie was awesome. So many moment where I thought it was coming to end were absolutely smashed by a sudden climax. And Heath Ledger? He didn't exist at all; there was only the Joker wearing Heath Ledger's face and body. Ledger's portrayal of a psychotic and chaotic villain was so masterful that I believe the role had consumed him. He was not the campy Joker of the 90's. New life was breathed into one of Batman's oldest enemies. My lament is that Two Face was thrown in so haphazardly and that he died in the end. He could have been a movie all on his own. Still, Harvey Dent/Two Face made an excellent supporting villain. I think one of the parts I liked was Commissioner Gordon's monologue at the end, which effectively establishes Batman's role as an anti-hero. Batman is one of the darker heroes in Comic Books/Pop-Culture since his reinvention in the late 60's when writer and artist made a deliberate effort to move Batman and the story away from the campy story and characters that had been until that point. Batman is an anti-hero, taking the law into his own hands and getting the job done regardless of the cost but without taking lives if he can avoid it. I believe that Joker is the ONLY enemy that Batman has ever killed directly.... After Joker killed Robin.... But I might be wrong........... Anyway, the end of the movie established Batman as an anti-hero with the skill of a level 15 bard.... Oh, I am geeking out a lot.

GreenMachine Edmonton Age: 26 Posts: 67	There wasn't a body on display at the funeral. Rule #1 of comics is nobody is dead without a verifiable corpse. And even then, they can still come back. Frequently. Besides, the funeral was for Harvey Dent, not Two-Face. Harvey died when Two-face was born. As for Lila's opinion that it sucks because of characters like Bale, then tell us who you would cast for a socially awkward and reclusive billionaire who becomes a vigilante and wears a mask. The characteristics you hate are what make him perfect for Batman. His woodeness and whatnot make the character more believable to me. The same qualities are what made American Psycho so psycho for me. I would agree that it may not be deserving of its hype and accolades, but its a better movie by half than any other summer blockbuster yet. Its a step in the right direction and hopefully other big name directors take some cues from it.

Bunny Edmonton Age: 22 Posts: 1592	I was quite happy with the movie myself yet I'm not over the top over it. Unlike the first Batman movie (or was it like the 20th or some dumb sh...ANY WAY... we all know which one I am talking about) I acctually managed to stay AWAKE through the intire movie! I was not really willing to go see Dark Knight... but everyone convinced me that I should go see it. Now you see... I am a huge Batman fan... infact Batman and I are married mmm hummmm(lol old inside joke), but in my mind there can be only one!!! Adam West is Batman!!! And Burt Ward... well no-one really gives a eff about Robin anyway... but Burt Ward will always be Robin. Say what you like... it was cheesy it was cheap... what was up with the whole POW... CRACK... KABOOM... stuff?! Adam West Batman was never conflicted he always knew what the right thing to do was at the right moment, he was confident and intellegent... thats Batman in my mind. Sure the new Dark Knight movie is good and all... but sadly... I'm finding that with each and every new movie they are twisting and transforming the Batman I grew up knowing and loving... into... INTO... anyother average superhero with conflicted issues and dramas. Drama never happened to Batman... Batman just was... no one cared why no one cared how. The Batman I love is the more or less James Bond Batman... no one woman could ever have all of Batmans heart (All though a huge chunk was cat womans). I'm sorry I'm ranting and I don't quite remember what about... stupid ADD. Anyway as my 'SHIT HAPPENS' poster reads "Disneyism- Shit doesn't happen here." Thats my Batman. OH OH OH... And a final note... this one is acctually about the movie in question "The Dark Knight"... the graphics and imagery of the movie rocked! And it had some good plot twists.

Brandon75689 Edmonton Age: 20 Posts: 1	Dont worry man, your not alone. I thought it was bad too. The thing that messed it up the most was that everyone was "okay" in acting and health ledgar did the most work. But in retrospect, Batman movies are made for the comic good versus evil. The movie was not good at showing that. Plus, They tried to make a crime fighting batman dark and things freaky when its freaking pg-13. Batman should be the last movie you should try to make "DArk". If i wanted to see a dark evil movie i'll go watch Sin City. I feel srry for Health ledgar. He put blood,sweat, and tears to be freaky and i dont think the script or the movie let him go the fulliest. In my view, Batman didnt suck or was good. Quote: "It was just another Batman movie that had a guys death hype up the movie".

pornask Edmonton Age: 27 Posts: 1207	Lila gave the movie more praise than it deserves. The Dark Knight is one big failure. I'll tell you exactly why. Director Christopher Nolan tried to make Batman have attributes and weaknesses of a guy next door. But he failed to deliver on that premise. In The Dark Knight, Batman has worries, he's the troubled guy who could be your neighbor. You try to feel like he's an ordinary guy with weaknesses like anyone else, but anyone else doesn't get to fly over the city at night. The premise Christopher Nolan chose to build the movie upon was not delivered. It was confusing and inconsistent. We're talking about Batman. We're talking about the protector of the city and fighter against evil. Focusing too much on human like attributes of your superhero is a failure. And this movie was a failure form start to end. If I was to compare The Dark Knight to The Happening, then The Happening was better. Much better, It had its originality, It had it's flow of events, it had its characteristics you could associate with. The Happening was considered a B-Movie. If that was B-Movie, what does it make The Dark Knight? Obviously, having large production budget doesn't guarantee quality. There are so many low budget movies that deliver enjoyable movie experience that you got to wander what were the makers of The Dark Knight thinking. I can't help but make a redundant comparison of The Dark Knight with Wall-E. Two movies on exact opposite of spectrum. One complete masterpiece and one complete piece of shit. Wall-E also assigns human like attributes to an inhuman character. However the way they built it up makes you go with it right from the beginning. Wall-E has been left alone for 700 years. You can feel how lonely he is. You can tell what effect it had on him to watch scenes from Hello Dolly where he saw people holding hands - he desperately longed to hold someone's hand. For 700 years he's been watching that scene and imagining what it would be like to hold hands with someone yet all he got left was more garbage outside he had to compress and stack up into giant sky scrapers. You can feel his loneliness and his inner sadness all along. And then when EVE comes, he's all out of himself. He keeps watching her hands and makes desperate attempts to hold them but she never lets him. Even when she's deactivate she snaps her arm in so he couldn't hold her hand. The way producers developed personality and introduced him got you immediately connected and involved. He was determined to not let go even if it takes him across the universe. You could tell he was scared, he shook and whimpered each time something unpredictable happened, but he never gave up. His character was so perfectly presented, you can't possibly NOT like that movie. And then at the end, when he's destroyed and EVE rushes to fix him, but after she puts him together, he's basically reset to the state where he had been before he developed personality by being all alone and discovering things in piles of garbage and watching the movie of people holding hands for 700 years every day - your heart is clutched together. EVE noticed how much holding hands meant for him, she grabs his hand and with her slick, smooth face, give his old and rusty face a kiss ultimately awaking the emotions he developed inside, that is the moment when your heart melts, no matter who you are. The Dark Knight didn't have any of that. They've tried to have a super hero with emotions, a superhero with inner struggle, a superhero who's failing and is being failed by everyone and everything. But the way it was delivered was very confusing and inconsistent with who the Batman is. The premise failed, the movie failed, everything about it failed like a house of soggy cards. If Heath ledger was alive, he'd feel like shit. He put his heart and soul into it but the rest of the crew didn't deliver. Such a failure. The Dark Knight Sucks! Te question so many have asked throughout this thread was legitimate and I got to ask the same thing - have you seen the same Dark Knight?

Twilight-Spider Victoria, BC Age: 26 Posts: 562	Batman is not and has never been (though I hear that in the more recent comics he might be, but I don't know for sure) and SUPER hero. He has always been a plain and ordinary human being, with his only advantages being his ninja training and his lots of money. Therefore, focusing on his human emotions and weaknesses, I feel, can do no damage to the character. It's a painful reminder that, like the criminals he fights, he's just an ordinary human being. Batman is a dark, brooding, and angsty character. Bruce Wayne is too, though he has to make more of an effort not to be and in private he usually fails.

Angie Calgary Age: 23 Posts: 4736	So the worst male actor in the world, Christian Bale got arrested after London's premiere of The Dark Knight. The loser allegedly attacked his mother and sister who called the police, but the cops delayed the arrest on purpose so as not to spoil the premiere. Fucking double standards. The moron was taken in today. If it was you or me who got reported for assault, we'd be taken in if it was our fucking honeymoon. This jackass stars in some C-Movie and the police all put vaseline on their asses so he has an easy entry doggy style.

IndieVixen Red Deer Age: 31 Posts: 373	Here's my take on it - I haven't seen The Dark Knight and I already know it sucks. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why. Look at it this way: If there is a movie with ostensibly incontestable hype embracing it, proceeded by viral spread throughout the net forced upon everyone by obnoxious fanboys, it gets more vexatious than listening to dumb Mac fanboys or better yet - FireFox fanboys. This type of obsession results in maniacal fanboys suppressing their rational thinking ballyhooing the movie through the sky as if it was the next epic opus by Beethoven. Anyone not conforming to the hype, daring to voice an opposing opinion is looked at blasphemer. This type of fanoyism is own to Mac users and/or FireFox users where decent rationale is clearly missing and was replaced by blindfolded sheep-style-following. And anything having this type of fan base has been historically proven to suck. The conclusion – even without seeing it, The Dark Knight sucks.

You are free to dislike a movie. But, if you want to try to rip on a movie, try to not come off as a retard by posting untrue facts. Thank you

Amazing acting, solid plot, stunning visuals, great music, and perhaps the artistic epitome of Heath Ledger's work (save Brokeback Mountain). In every way, I cannot agree with your opinion, but I absolutely support your right to express it. In other words, sorry ya didn't like it....it really was a great flick.

Take a note of that next time you’re going to see a movie. The camera movement always the same. Spinning around two people talking. Spinning and spinning and then spinning some more. Great catch Lila. You definitely make more sense than anybody else who posted here. YouTube is now full of clips form The Dark Knight movie and by just playing the clips one can tell that everything you've pointed out is true. And yes, it's pretty cheap and weak. I've watched about 15 clips, which are supposed to be the best of Dark Knight and each of them left me certain that this movie doesn’t deliver. Especially explosions. The execution and capturing of explosion was the worst I've seen in a long time. Oh, one more thing. It was a struggle to go through 15 clips as 13 were just boring, mindless talk. What a waste of movie dollars.

I think it's safe to say that somebody has now stolen Kaiser Sose's (The Usual Suspects) crown for my favourite ever movie villain. I'd sit through the whole movie again just to see that performance. Damn shame it was Heath's last.

Scooter MI Age: 44 Posts: 1155	I saw it and I think I liked it better than I would have knowing that Heath Ledger is dead. Not that I like that he's dead - opposite that. I think he was a great actor with a lot of internal demons that seem to make the Joker that much more sinister in the movie. Scott

Gotthavok Edmonton Age: 25 Posts: 184	i enjoyed how it brought out the moral flexibility Batman was forced to undergo, how he's required to be an antihero just because of who he is, something i've always enjoyed about the batman comics, although the Punisher's comics are far more brutal about it so i enjoy them more i didn't like the lead actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, but not everything is perfect, although i enjoyed Gary Oldman, Micheal Caine's quips and of course Morgan Freeman's usually awesome. solid performances from the veterans as expected PS. best scene is the magic pencil imho, it disappears!

Rocketman Calgary Age: 23 Posts: 81	I cant believe this thread exists. Your original post was just the same argument 7 times in a row. Dark knight was an epic movie, and the fact you compared it to harry potter is just sad. Because clearly Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are better actors than Christian Bale. Not. Also not sure how you consider his costume as unchanged. Are you sure you didn't watch the original batman? Cause last time i checked, he's wearing military grade armor. While spiderman IS actually still wearing rubber tights. Heath Ledger didn't sell this movie. Batman Begins did. Dark Knight = AWESOME

If you look at the actors in the movie and watch the movie for what it is without expectation you will find yourself understanding the movie concept and execution of the acting.. you need to get an education before you blab your mouth off about something you know nothing about.. you are also not a comic book reader by the way you talk about the downfalls. Sorry but you have not convinced me that the movie is not worth seeing. Go back to school and learn something...

I actually do have a degree in Film (with distinction), and have won 4 National film festivals ... I DO know WTF I'm talking about you worthless piece of shit. Film is Film no matter what the genre. Suggesting someone watch a film that succeeds on all counts is not something to attack because you enjoyed TDK. I guess dumbfucks are dumbfucks even if they're 52...
