Just got back from it. It was a Ledgerfest, but all the better for it. Easy standout performance. Oldman as head copper was fantastic.
Hackneyed score; lazily photographed (especially considering the genre). But they're minor. How ya doing, buddy?

He's covering for Eckhart, that's all.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
To be fair though, my taste in films, as you well know, tends towards explosions and car chases so I'm not really the right person to be having esoteric discussions about the various messages present or lacking in more cerebral pieces of cinema. Most amazing jew boots |
The best scene in the film is the shot of Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong, with a panning shot that follows Fox across the helipad.

Well you've never been right in your entire life, so one assumes yes. You are.
Zeal-impression more. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
Impression?
Wait, so they're not both the same guy? I always figured there was some dupe-account goofery going on that was being overlooked for comedy reasons. FELIPE NO |
But it turns out Megalith started ripping off Zeal's schtick years ago, and basically wanders around pretending to be his friend because... well, who knows why. But Zeal called him out on it and Megalith got all cowed and ran away. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'll copypasta some stuff from the journals.
So, the peek-a-premiere was tonight. The Dark Knight was more about the villains and the city again, the lack of which I wholly disliked in the previous film. Action sucked, was too music video-y and quite unbalanced, and not to mention very unexciting. And completely unnecessary when looking at the big picture (the story). I could have lived without the million cars -chase stolen from Matrix 2 and the random mob guys popping out about in the end. Ledger was what he could do as an actor in a very tightly written script. He did his part just great. Bale on the other hand was his own lispy self which I've always disliked. I kept thinking maybe someone else did the voiceovers for Batman, since they were actually unintentionally hilarious, even if they were obligatory. The other characters were just collateral. It was all about Batman and his flipside, The Joker. As implied by the presence of Two-Face and the flippage of million coins (got a bit annoying about halfway through). Entropy and Chaos 101 was okay, if not a bit unnecessary until Harvey became what we know him for. They were the main driver of the plot and it worked out alright. The thing I liked the very most about the movie was that during the stuff in Hong Kong, the kidnapping of the plotwise completely random asian guy, in the offices there was a huge aquarium and it didn't get smashed. How awesome is that! Anyway, liked the flick as a whole. It's not an excellent movie in any way, but many small things make it an enjoyable watch. How ya doing, buddy? |
Am I aloud to say me and my friend enjoyed the movie?
Anyway, who was the guy who started killing the bank robbers at the start, who said 'don't you know who you're stealing from etc' I was speaking idiomatically. |
Just some mob guy watching over his mob bank. Apparently pissing off the mob was Joker's hobby before he decided to kill the Batman instead.

I can't help but feel that this movie went a bit overboard in trying to appeal to every movie-goers' basest interests and desires, and the end result was too wanna-be-hardcore to actually inspire the feelings of fascination and excitement I had so hoped to gain from a movie about a guy who dresses up as a fucking bat and fights criminals. "Why so serious?", ehh. Maybe Chris Nolan should have taken that idea a bit more seriously. The Prestige, despite its thick air of darkness and tragedy, managed to keep me at the edge of my seat until the very end, introducing more and more mysterious and exciting elements until it reaches a fever pitch and smashes you with an awesome ending. I really wish that the same could have happened with TDK, and Batman Begins for that matter. TDK was too long and the plot ended up spider-webbing in too many disparate directions, leading to an extremely clumsy and anticlimactic conclusion. I won't say that it's a crappy movie. I think all of the hot air holding it up needs to be let out of it a little. The IMDB thing is a downright hilarious display of pure asshole-mania. We may as well look at it retroactively and put movies like Total Recall and Spiderman in the top ten also. Those were exciting in the first few weeks they were out too, no? Most amazing jew boots

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I can't stop cracking up when I watch this YouTube - The Dark Knight 1966 Style
The shark attack is great, and when he say's 'the right choice' and he walks in on a couple. I havn't seen the 1966 film (i'm really not a batman film, I just really liked The Dark Knight) Additional Spam: Just got back from seeing it the second time. I love it when that note/bass whatever it's called 'builds up' when the Joker 'plans'. It's the perfect tension builder! What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

So, saw the movie earlier today.
My thoughts: Spoiler:
I'm probably being harder on the film here then I would in normal conversation, but I DID enjoy the film. Aaron Eckhart's portrayal as Harvey was great, Heath as the joker was riveting, and the other smaller roles were put through with no complaints. So yeah, I'd probably get this on DVD when it comes out. Jam it back in, in the dark.

Anyone else agree or disagree with the above quote? (For the record: I hated The Black Dahlia) There's nowhere I can't reach. |
So I actually saw this last night and I thought it was pretty good. I certainly think some people are looking for things to complain about for the sake of complaining (They over used the Joker's name at the beginning? What? They said it twice) but I equally don't think it's the greatest film ever made as some are claiming and I think Batman Begins was better. The whole copycat vigilante thing was an interesting angle they completely ignored after the initial scene, all the bits with Bruce Wayne doing heroic things were completely at odds with his image as a slightly useless socialite and although Ledger was ok as the Joker, he was nothing spectacular and whilst it was a decent enough performace as a criminal, it wasn't anything special as a portrayal of a proper psychopath.
I mean yeah, it was a good film but fuck off should anyone get an oscar for it or anything like that. How ya doing, buddy? |
