I completely agree with Clark Douglas because this movie is brilliant. Especially Heath Ledger who, in my opinion, captivated audiences. I’m 11 years old, and for a movie of 3 hrs long to not bore me to death, that itself is already a success. But to make it one of my favourite movies, is an accomplishment. The Dark Knight is incredibly fascinating and, yes, maybe some people might find it tedious. However some people will see the brilliant intensity that this movie offers.

“Which leads me to my biggest problem–the ending. Not only was the end of Two-Face ridiculously abrupt, there remains the fact that–wait for it–Batman killed him. Oops. What happened to that line he wouldn’t cross? ”

It could be that Batman was trying to hold onto Two-Face like he was trying to hold onto Gordon’s son but he slipped out of his grasp.

This film does achieve a level of greatness, and yes, Ledger deserves an Oscar. Far too many past Oscar winners have won for much less effort and results in the past – Kim Basinger for LA Confidential (yawn), etc. Ledger deserves a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, and it’s not because he’s dead now. He was great in The Dark Knight.
It’s odd that in an era now of dark, Oscar-winning movies – The Departed, Crash, even American Beauty from 1999 – people are criticizing The Dark Knight for its dark world and characters.

Could not disagree more. Adam’s an obvious Marvel fan boy. TDK is far and away the best movie of the year so far and the best of its genre. Period. Iron Man on the other hand is the typical Marvel flick which did not raise the bar on any level. TDK transcended the genre, and is more than just a superhero movie.

Jose M. from just reading your post(s). I’m finding you seem to over think things especially with this film. It clearly shows in your statments. Some of your complaints could really be considered nit picking at the film just of pure spit if not over anaylzing the whole film.

Your complaints such as…

“plots that go nowhere”
(you must be smoking something! because dude, the plot was perfectly clear & if you didn’t understand it then it’s just over your head. A plot consists of three dimensions which are character, conflict, & conclusion. This story had the structure well set.),

“underexposed characters”
(Did you watch the film? let alone did you see “Batman Begins”? All the characters were well-developed. Just to mention The Joker wasn’t suppose to have a backstory. That’s what made his character so damn interesting.),

cinematography
(there is no error here other then one’s taste in style),

editing (again…it’s in taste of one’s perspective.)

I mean who’s to say “The Dark Knight” & “Titanic” don’t deserve what they make?

Titanic is no considered a true classic in cinema. The Dark Knight is arguebly the best superhero film to date with a performance by Heath Ledger that is hetched in stone & made one of the best villians in cinema history making Jack Nicholson’s Joker completely fogettable & down right child’s play but hey, Jack doesn’t need that Joker role (It’s clearly Heath’s now & won’t be matched) he’s has other performances that define him (Cuckoo’s Nest, Chinatown…etc).

As far as Bale’s voice with Batman, in all honesty it really didn’t bug me like it did others but so be it.

P.S. It cracks me up when people say a film has flaws. Just to mention every film in cinema history has flaws but they can be over-looked 9/10 times. So, get over it!

Rosie, it’s a very interesting post…in the end, you still overlook big flaws for something I’m still missing…
