Alan just wrote a new review for The Dark Knight, and gives it a C+.


..Wow.



The wow is referencing how shocked I am by the consistently awesome reviews of The Dark Knight that are floating all around right me now. Many may read this review and say, "this guy is a negative jerk that just wants to go against the grain simply because he wants to show what a free thinker he is." Honest to God that is not the deal here. I wanted to be as blown away as I was supposed to be, but it just didn't happen.



Alright then, that said, The Dark Knight isn't bad, its just not that great either. Sorry, the latest Batman incarnation is not that great. It does appear that, to some extent, a success con is being pulled- making people believe this film is a masterpiece before they even hit the seats.

I would of ended the movie when the joker was in jail with him saying: "BRAVO BRAVO" claping to leave the audiences wanting more...

i disagree, the film was exceptional - maybe a little nip tuck here and there was needed but from the car chase onwards I was totally enveloped and a little disturbed. soooooooooooo dark.

I agree strongly. This film was an incredible disappointment. I have been constantly bemused about the effectiveness of the propaganda machine and Heath hysteria which has propelled this film to be the unrightful box office success that it is. It wasn't bad but it just wasn't that good either.

Hollywood is still making comic based films which only cater for little boys and unless you have one inside of you, or are one of the millions of sheep lining up to "baa" after seeing it, then you will invariably be disappointed. Nolan's efforts "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" are however still the most "true to life" adaptations reflecting the darkness and dichotomous nature of the original anti-hero but still comes up wanting. I think he's a great director but the story just wasn't quite there.

It felt too long, lost itself in some of the deeper plot complexities which were conceptionally great (but failed to deliver) and it was another misogynist piece of theatre pandering to gadgets and pyrotechnics. YAWN.
