The Dark Knight didnt live up to the hype for me

pjoasisrule

I know I am gonna get bashed for this but I just thought it was pretty cool but not flawless like everybody else seems to think. Heath Ledger was amazing and the action scenes were great. I was very annoyed by Batmans phoney voice and the movie was a bit hard to follow at times. I also thought some of the dialogue was a bit cheesy. Overall I would give it a 7.5 or 8 at most.

Batman's phony voice is silly, I agree. My husband was like, "why doesn't he just invest in some sort of voice changer?" lol...

I loved it, though...even with the cheesy moments of dialogue. I think that is just part of the formula.

i loved it too, and thought the voice was silly but just wrote it off as his disguise as most did...


NEVER believe the HYPE!

See I think that is normally part of the formula for superhero movies such as Spiderman or Incredible Hulk, but this is darker and takes itself a bit more seriously.........it just felt like some of it was a bit too lame.

Yeah, I know what you're saying. I agree with that. It didn't bother me, though. (I don't know why, either. It normally would.)

It was still good though, I just wish I wouldnt have heard so many people talk of it like it was the best movie ever. Definitely one of the better superhero movies though, a genre that has really produced alot of crap recently (fantastic four, transformers, ghost rider)

Superhero movies always seem to be hit or miss. Either they are pretty good or really bad. Seems like they are split 50/50 because I have seen some pretty good ones too.

You definitely understate the greatness of movies like V for Vendetta and Dark Knight. They're better than "pretty good."

You know what I think was the most powerful message in that movie was when the Joker burnt that pile of cash. I can't remember his exact quote but it was something along the lines of "Its not about the money its about making a statment" or something like that. If someone knows what he said post it. But his character portrayed someone who was trying to send the world a message.
IMO

I don't get all the people going on about his voice. Actually it speaks for how good the movie is when they have to focus on that for something to slag off. If you saw Batman Begins, you really should have expected his voice to be like that. It really didn't bother me and in fact I like that for the character. For people who think it sounds silly, well, it's coming from someone dressed as a bat. If you can accept that, you should be able to accept the voice.

As for not being able to follow the story, I wouldn't say that's the film's fault.

What I know is that I've been a Batman and Joker fan for most of my life and had been awaiting this film and following it through production since BB came to a close and it somehow mey and exceeded my expectations.

Freeeaaak? Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to
your pooches? hmm? Then we'll see, how loyal, a hungry dog reaaaally is.
It's not about the money... it's about... sending a message. Everything burns.

First of all, there is no such thing as a Flawless movie.

Secondly, batman's voice is very annoying, not sure who thought of using that..

Thirdly, Heath was the best and the movie was better because of him.

joker was good but it was way too long

and that voice ?? batman smoked a few too many stogies

The Dark Knight, for wanting to be a super realistic movie, has a glaring amount of plot holes. Not a single one of the Joker's plans would be possible if you think about it for more than 3 seconds. How does he get all the explosives on the boats without anyone noticing? How does he rig an entire building to collapse. This would take days and days of rigging. How does no one notice that bus? Why does he shoot at Dent in the big car chase if he wants him to live? A bomb inside someone? REALLY? How does he get out of the interrogation room when the doors don't open from the inside? 3D sonar images from cell phones? Give me a break. I could go on, but I hate the movie, and don't want to think about it any more.

And that Batmobile is still really, really lame.

I think the thing that was truly "hyped" was Ledger's performance. And I think he surpassed that hype. The rest of the movie was really good. Not the greatest thing ever.....but after all....it's only a Batman movie. I think it was better than any previous Batmans, Spidermans, Supermans, etc. But yeah, it's not the greatest movie ever or anything like that
