OK ...
... I know most of you have already seen the movie, but I just saw it today cause it just started showing in my country. No word can describe this movie. This is something that happens once in a lifetime. Nolan has taken a comic book and made it something much, much more. This is a movie that grabs viewer and just doesn't let go. Ever. A lot could be said about this movie, but the best thing is to see it. And about the sequel: why not? |

I loved the movie, and have already posted my feelings, but I've read everyone's thoughts.. the good, the bad.. I wanna know, from all of those who disliked the film, what movie was more entertaining this year? (other than Iron Man) I can't seem to remember anything else coming close. Maybe I'm forgetting, but please, remind me. |

Overall the movie was great, like anything it has flaws, nothing will ever be as perfect as you want it to be. We're not Siskel and Ebert here though, we are people who loved Batman and the comics, and wanted to see them come to life. I could care less about the merit, or if it's ever some film masterpiece. It made me happy that someone took the time to invest so much into making comic films more than something just one dimensional.
No, I don't care much for the romances but it goes a long with the territory. As far as anyone having corny dialogue, again if you read comics not everyone has this quick wit or amazing banter to carry them. You leave all that to the principal characters, as much as you can anyway.
But instead of going on and on, I'll say this, it lived up to my own expectations as a fan of Batman and as a fan of comics. Yes, Iron Man was good but this had me glued to each and every little word and what was about to happen next.
Someone will tear it apart, but it won't be me.

It's funny to see people attach to such minor things and try to base entirely negative reviews on them. Who cares if there's a lot of "bystander chitchat"? Woop-dee-fricken-doo if they reused some of the elements of previous Bat films? So what if you think Maggie Gyllenhaal is ugly? Maybe it was her personality and honesty that Bruce Wayne was after? (And her willingness to do full-frontal?)
Never, ever, has Batman been presented this way. It bubbled to the surface in Begins and took over in this movie. The seriousness, the heart-wrenching tragedy, the decisions where every option has a bitter end... I mean, SURE, in Batman Forever, Batman had to choose between Chase and Robin, but he ended up (predictably) saving both. In TDK, he isn't so lucky.
With every movie, there are bound to be minor details that are unbelievable. Base your enjoyment of the movie entirely on that, if you wish. I, for one, thought that the plot, acting, action sequences, etc, made up for all that and then some.

IN ADDITION TO THE LAST FEW POSTS...
So far this years releases have been far weaker then last years. We have no "Zodiac" caliber films. We have over-hyped "master-pieces" like Dark Knight, and Iron Man, which people will only realize down the line, like they did with stuff like Titanic, just how uneven and undeserving it is of the acclaim that goes with it being a great movie, or more disappointing would be if it were crowned best movie of the year on any level (aside from the fanboy circles). Enjoy it all you want, no problem with that what-so-ever. If you can't see the films flaws, so be it, but at very least allow others to express them just as most of you have no problem stating how kick-ass everything is. No one is saying the other isn't right... we all have our opinion on the film.
Just to add, I agree with whoever pointed out the lame "by stander" dialogue. Stuck out like a sore thumb, as did the cartoon-y mob crew. And did anyone else notice how many characters get thrown off buildings? Not counting when Batman takes nose dives, I count 5! And I know we can universally agree that none of us had a second of doubt regarding that boat climax. Why so serious? Not at all... seems like the filmmakers were trying really hard though, and for their efforts, it shows. And this isn't about going against the grain, or standing out as a negetive review... the film has massive flaws (in my opinion), and they're worth addressing so future adaptations of this kind of material don't suffer. There wasn't one lesson learned in Knight that wasn't based on a something one character said, and that another repeated later word for word. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Syd Field was script adviser on this thing. |

SUIT YOURSELF, DARKANGEL
But if you really appreciated difference of opinions you wouldn't be mouthing off about "poopypants" bashing it. I don't care one way or another if you liked it or not.
For my money, I enjoyed "Iron Man" more. |

Difference of opinions is what makes this world great, and the fact that I can enjoy something over all without critizings it like I could do a better job making is a good thing too.

HERE IS THE THING...
Here is the thing for me... yeah.. maybe some of these nitpicks are true... certain scenes in the beginning made me minorly cringe.. so be it.. no other super hero let alone action film has taken such a complex and just intelligent approach to the subject. The nature of heroism, of good and evil... and actually says a lot of profound things about the two, and about humanity all while keeping you glued to the seat.
For the whole movie not only was I engaged I actually felt the fear of oh shit what's going to happen next, what is the joker up to.. the fear of terror.. of anything bad could happen to any of these characters at any time... no one was safe etc. The real terror of madness.
That and it just being a smart film... made it for me.
Well done.

I agree with everything kdraines said regarding Two-Face and Maggie Gyllenhaal. The other thing that bothered me a lot [and even after watching it again] was the random bystander comments. I hate stuff like that. It was super excessive in the Spider-Man movies and was damn near close to as bad in this. That scene with the armored car driver was nearly intolerable. 'Oh no, that's bad!' 'Oh no, that's REAL bad!!' 'I'm not paid for this!' all of that lame shit took me out of it for a second. A plain and simple 'Holy Shit!' would suffice instead of constantly intercutting the scene with his cornball reactions. Leave it for Michael Bay movies. |
