John is correct people. The Dark Knight was absolutely horrible…though my expectations were high. Both me and my wife were so excited to see this movie because of how good Batman Begins was.

The movie has no plot, does not make any sense, was poorly written, has no substance, no message, no moral, no ANYTHING EXCEPT…….action. In this regard, I am very sorry to say, it is similar to Transformers and the Incredible Hulk.

They could have done SO MUCH with this movie. It was such a let down to see them blow it. These people have no excuse–they have almost unlimited resources and still can’t write out a story before filming?

I’d say Batman Begins was a 9.
Dark Knight = 3

I almost walked out of this movie. It was gratuitous, overly long, and ultimately soul-less. The plot was ridiculous and made no sense much of the time.

The PG-13 rating was crazy. So, most of the boys in America over the age of 9 years old (and under) will see it. Great. I hope you all can be pleased with that. Those of you who aren’t clearly know little about what it means to be an adult.

Even as an adult, I found the movie horrible…the characters had no depth and the crashes, the explosions were purely gratuitous and would have been impossible for the Joker to pull off. The whole thing was a mess. American flocks to it over and over. So goes our nation. And don’t give me the line that “it’s just fantasy”…sorry, that doesn’t remotely let the movie slide by. The PG13 rating was purely to get money and gross the levels it did. Money rules and so does violence in this country. How impressive.

For me, Oldman and Bale are like the British De Niro and Pacino – They *need* to be in a film together.

That is a great review too.
