Did anybody NOT like The Dark Knight? - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Easywolf32 · 01-02-2009, 06:57 PM

Found Batman Begins to be much better.

SquidPuppet · 01-02-2009, 07:01 PM

It exceeded my expectations.

Is it a perfect masterpiece? No.

Is it fantastic entertainment with fantastic cinematography, directing, acting and action? Yes.

All involved in this film busted their asses...and it shows.

I loved TDK, but I wouldn't go as far as calling it a masterpiece. IMO the film had it's flaws.

My Friend: please tell me the flaws you caught.

I'm not doing the IMDB thing yet. (goofs) So fill me in before I do.

Thanks.

Olga Kurylenko is a supreme Goddess...

Anyways, I really enjoyed the movie, but Quantum of Solace was my favorite movie last year.

SO FREAKING TRUE!

I'm not sure why they didn't re-cast Katie Holmes.

No, I didn't like it.
I have the right to my opinion, to me the movie was mediocre at best.

Was it worth my money? Yes....Was it the best movie ever? Not even close
Was it the best movie of the year? No...

M. Gyllanhal's performance was horrible, and C. Bale was just a little better,
watched it again New Years Eve....He mummbles so bad at the end it's almost
funny, almost...

TBH i was a little bit let down from all the hype. the movie was good, the acting was great (dont like the chick that played rachel though), etc but all the hype made me feel like it was god's gift to movies and it wasn't that for me. it doesn't make my personal top 10 of all time list even. the use of IMAX cams blew me away but that has nothing to do with the storyline itself.

NewYork214 · 01-02-2009, 08:30 PM

its not that i didnt like the movie, its just christian bale's batman voice annoyed the **** outta me. and heath ledger was good but i like jack nicholson better as the joker

loved the movie but agree with the voice, the ONE huge thing that just really got on me about it, if he goes even farther with it in a third one the movie will be ruined. If anyone hasn't seen the dark knight interrogation scene spoof on youtube...check it out.

jessekellum · 01-02-2009, 08:36 PM

i thought this movie was outstanding i saw it 3 days ina row including the opening midnight showing. i have been a complete batman fanatic since i saw the adam west batman movie when i was like 2 or 3

Loved the movie, I just wished they would have shot the entire movie in IMAX, those scenes jump out of my Samsung!

The Don · 01-02-2009, 08:59 PM

in the next one....he should talk like Ned from South Park or Kane back when he needed that device to talk...it makes you sound like a robot...

he should have one of them attached to his cowl....or whatever...

Beast · 01-02-2009, 09:14 PM

Terrible movie. Batman Begins was better, and it was long, tedious, and boring.

Bale's Batman needs to grab some Bat-Losanges from his Utility Belt.

And the less said about Ledger's so-called "Joker" the better.

It's a shame that he passed away. Thankfully this won't technically be his final film.

YES ! exactly.

The entire movie in IMAX. Was it me? Or did the IMAX cuts FILL THE SCREEN ?

Is that all that terrible? I happen to like a film that fills up my puny
Home Theater screen.

I viewed it again last night. The opening 6 minutes have such perfect
rhythm. Such fantastic cadence. Like a Russian Symphony's last movement.

Acting students ! Study Ledger. His scenes at the party he crashes
have GOT to be improvised. He was on SOMETHING that day of shooting.
MG was really frightened, not acting. He was so scary in that scene
I thought he would slice her face with the blade - - merely for effect.

BTW, I think he knew he could never do anything as good as that in years
to come. So he did the JAMES DEAN thing and disappeared off the face of the
Earth.

So Sad. Really.

Well he did say it was the most fun he had ever had as an actor and that it would likely be the most fun he would ever have playing a character. His words turned out to be prophetic far too soon unfortunately.

I don't think he or James Dean wanted to die though. Tragic accidents.
