    I'm bored so I'll go ahead and respond to these... "complaints"
    How does he get all the explosives on the boats without anyone noticing?
    he has several people working for him, including cops.
    How does he rig an entire building to collapse.
    see above. he has tons of people working for him, and plants bombs.
    This would take days and days of rigging.
    and? it's impossible?
    How does no one notice that bus?
    which bus? the one that was taken from the hospital or the one from the bank?
    if it's the hospital, keep in mind that they have to worry about evacuating entire HOSPITALS, surely one being taken is possible, and the police noticed right away...
    if it's the one from the bank, then the scene ended quite abruptly once he left the bank, so you don't really know what happens. I'm sure he didn't drive the bus straight home, he obviously had another plan...
    Why does he shoot at Dent in the big car chase if he wants him to live?
    who said he wants him to live? the Joker said to Dent that he's a man with no plan, meaning maybe he thought of the plan to turn Dent evil afterwards... maybe if he killed Dent early on, then Gotham would still turn into chaos, there are many possible answers. it's left open-ended to pick out your own answer.
    A bomb inside someone? REALLY?
    yep.
    How does he get out of the interrogation room when the doors don't open from the inside?
    oh come on, like someone mentioned, Gordon left the room without anyone opening the door. Also, it was a special interrogation room in the MCU, meaning it could have different. Plus, you never see Joker open the door, meaning he could have held that piece of glass to the cop's throat early on and forced someone on the outside to open the door. either way, that's not a real complaint...
    3D sonar images from cell phones? Give me a break.
    feel free to disprove the possibility of that. i could care less to do the research to scientifically prove it impossible, but if you'd like to, then go ahead.
    I could go on, but I hate the movie, and don't want to think about it any more.
    being a nonconformist is like, really, really cool.

    i personally loved it! (saw this movie in Costa Rica :))
    Heath Ledger's best role by far, and he should definitely be nominated & win an Oscar for it! (the oscar comittee are a bunch of fools if he doesn't get nominated for that amazing performance).
    hype is usually overrated, but this hype was not.
    but hey, we can't all love it

    A: Chris Nolan and Christian Bale both say that they wanted to make an uncomic book Batman movie. They wanted as realistic as possible. They failed. And suspend real world belief argument is a cop out. Just because it's a movie, doesn't mean it has to be stupid.

    B: That's not how those doors work. See A.

    C: I am not medical, and neither is the Joker. See A.

    D: The whole chase is such a pointless event. The Joker wants to get caught, so he shoots rockets at all the police? That works. What a plan.

    Also, I forgot to mention how unGotham Chicago is. So that was lame. Also, in response to someone above, why do people work for the Joker is he just shoots them all? Wouldn't the word get around the stay the hell away?

    Anyway, most people love the movie. I just happen to think it's sort of a joke.


    You sound like my friend. He swears Tim Burton's version is the best(even before this one came out)

    When I watch this film(and Batman Begins) I dont think about past films, Jack, Keaton, or the hot Kim Basinger

    My buddy is an aspiring actor/waiter/painter and Jack is his acting muse that after we saw Dark Knight he even criticized Ledger...sayin all the buzz and praise is only due to his untimely death


    Its like if he enjoys this movie he is disrespecting Jack

    I then told him that if a band or singer(other than PJ) come out with a good record I always give kudos...doesn't mean I like PJ less

    My friends a dumbass,take this movie for what it is worth...a good chance to sit in an AC room in the hot summer and watch some shit blow up, and some good performances

    I agree! However I don't really like superhero movies.

    Ledger's Joker was fucking brilliant. Unfortunately because of that, I couldn't give a fuck less what was happening to the other characters, especially when Joker was off camera.

    A) Uncomic or not it is still based on a man dressed as a bat dealing with an assortment of comic book criminals. So.......

    B) Unfortunately for you, in this movie it is how these doors work. See A.

    C) You didn't really argue my point there, stupid or not, is it not possible?? See A.

    D) He wants to get caught and if he attacks the convoy BATMAN will catch him........... the way the chase ends is not the plan, but it still ends in him being caught.

    _Outlaw's posts is also worth reading.........

    I do agree though, that Gotham is portrayed too much as a modern steel and glass metropolis and isn't representative of how Gotham should be, IMO.

    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.
    this made me literally lol. :D

    and yeah, i'm with the majority overhyping and saying this is the best movie ever. :)

    Heath Ledger was excellent.
    Batman voice extremely irritating.
    The guy with half a face seemed to be an add on.
    Incredibly overrated.
    Far too long.
    Was glad when it finished.
  • 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.


    THANK YOU! the movie was good but my thoughts exactly.
