Why so serious?

Well, I'm not going to be posting the same topic that everyone else posted. It's not of praise.

Let me tell you a little bit about the way I look at movies: If I love it, I wish that I could forget the whole experience so that I could watch it again. If it's okay, I don't need to see it again for a long time. If I hate it, I hate it and it can just stay on the shelves from that day forward. For me, The Dark Knight was of the second experience, that of neutrality.

The movie wasn't really that great. I don't want to forget it to watch it again. I did enjoy it, don't get me wrong. It just wasn't up to par with what I wanted it to be.

I got into a theater that was packed and had to sit in the front row. Then I noticed a seat up top next to a pretty good looking girl, so I went up there, got her number, and took the seat perfectly in the center of the theater. So that was definitely nice. Then, the manager of the theater, yes the manager, came in and gave a speech on how GREAT the film was, spewing off some baloney about how we were, at that moment, taking the transition from random people from our respective cities into CITIZENS OF GOTHAM CITY. How neat, right? This idea was complimented by the massive amount of people wearing batman clothing custom picked off the shelves of the local Hot Topic.

Well the movie starts, and it's pretty cool. Bank robbery by way of bus driving clowns. I had just finished off two bank robbery movies on my shelf in the past 24 hours, so I was up to it. I watched it. I'm not going to spoil the thing for you. It is worth it to watch, just not to watch again.

Here is my critique of it, if you can call this rough garbage a critique...
the movie was good. Not great. Not what I was expecting. Sort of sucked. Heath Ledger, the drug addict that he was, put on a good show. It was the best joker yet, but it wasn't maniacal or anything like that. I really don't think the film would have gotten such high ratings if Heath hadn't OVERDOSED. Now I'm not going to sit here and put shame on a dead guy, that is not right. I feel bad for the guy. He will be missed by MILLIONS of fans. I personally think that both Aaron Eckhart (Harvey Dent), and Christian Bale (Batman/Bruce Wayne) did great jobs. Batman was dark, but not that dark. The movie was dark, but not that dark. The theater was dark, and had the manager not turned the lights on to give a speech, it would have been too dark. I've seen plenty of killing movies, so it wasn't the best or anything.

Three of the main villains showed up in this movie, one of which was one of the two good guys as well. If I had to pick a favorite character, it would probably be Two Face. He was portrayed so well, being that he went from a goody to a baddy. It was sad he had to go so quick. He was dark.

It was worth the price, but was it worth the hype?

I love movies, I don't love movies, I like movies, I'm apathetic to movies.




^ My scale.



There is one lower level, a level so grim it needn't be mentioned, for I will fly into a rage.
