Just saw The Dark Knight
    #8682250 -

I'm sad to say that I didn't really like it. Maybe it was the impossibly high hopes from the three year wait or all the previews which I tried to avoid like the plague, either way, it was solid and had a LOT of high points, but all in all, I can't say I would ever watch this ever again.

I'm drowning my sorrows with a great cab right now :sad:

I don't like Bale but Heath Ledger more than made up for him. Overall I felt it was very well done but had lots of potential that went unrecognized.

i saw it for the second time tonight and caught a lot of stuff that i missed the first time. it's a very good movie but upon examination there are a lotttt of inconsistencies. i noticed something kind of interesting too.

[SPOILER]the scenes right after the joker blows up the buildings where dent and rachel were held are very reminiscent of the footage of the firefighters working at ground zero on 9/11. especially the part with two firefighters standing next to a pile of wreckage in the fading light. swear i saw that in Time Magazine lol.

I noticed the whole "broke both legs but I'll be fine a few scenes later" thing. Also, while Ledger did a good job playing the Joker I wish he would have been more "funny" in a twisted way. The whole "dark humor" aspect was touched upon with the whole "Why So Serious?" bit of the Joker, but I wish he would have been just a bit more "touched" in the humor department. All of his jokes weren't far removed from the comic relief of any character from any movie. He should have been focused on "humor" that was far from funny to the people involved. Instead, he was just a bad guy with clown make-up.

It's a different kind of Joker. The earlier depictions (like Jack Nicholson's) were funny-yet-creepy. This Joker isn't funny. He's fucking psychopathic.

Right. He was crazy, but he's still the Joker. I wish they would have made his humor creep the audience out. Very, very dark humor. Though I can't think of any good examples, I want him to start laughing his head off at something that, in reality, has no real humor value. His sense of humor should be black.

Or, come to think of it, even laughing at his own plans more. Or commenting on how he finds it funny that Batman lost the girl he cared for. Relating more things he already did to humor. For example, (spoiler)

The boat experiment. He could have laughed a lot more at that. Or his whole speech on anarchy. He could have ended it with the line "...And that's funny." Even a bit more expansion on his "Why so serious?" line would have been nice.

I just watched it for a second time tonight and picked up more on the things I didn't like. Before I go into that though I gotta say that Ledger's Joker is the way I think the Joker should be played. He's a murdering psychopath, Batman's antithesis. The joke is not funny. It's a sick sick joke. He's a Joker because he doesn't take anything seriously. That being said, anyone notice that after he throws Rachel out of the Penthouse and Batman dives out to save her, the scene ends? I mean, the Joker is still up there. With knives, and guns, and lots and lots of people. WTF? I think the acting portion (except for Bale, but I believe that's more of a character choice rather then a lack of acting talent) was first grade, but the production quality and editing was lacking. I give the Dark Knight an A-. And they better bring the Joker back...
