Why does everyone fuss about the Dark Knight?

In my opinion it was awful. Just another Batman movie. It had a story that was hard to follow, didn't have enough action scenes, and Christian Bale was awful as batman.

I didn't get what was going on through the movie. I admit Heath Ledger was good as the Joker, but Heath Ledgers death was the reason why this movie did so well at the box office. I think it was just "sympathy."

People complain about Avatar but I thought Avatar was good. People were saying this movie was "amazing". But I just wanted it to be over. Is it because Im not a Batman fan? Its just the same as any other super hero movie. Why does everyone make a fuss about this movie. Did you like it or dislike it?

This is in my opinion.

I liked it, but I felt it was a bit overrated. Just as a personal preference, I thought Batman Begins was better.

How was the story hard to follow? :?spazzx625

The movie would go from people talking quietly, to Batman riding that bike thing. Ok, a large amount of people are on boats? What the heck? The joker blew up the jail with a cell phone which was in a guy?

Why would you go see a Batman movie if you weren't a Batman fan? Granted I agree with the sympathy, I'm sure a lot of people who went to see the movie weren't Batman fans, but still...Flame_Blade88

Because people who weren't batman fans were saying it was good. To set a box office record it just wasn't batman fans seeing it. I rented this movie.

Let me explain the story to you. There's this guy, The Joker. He's a bad guy. The Dark Knight had a really straight-forward story, especially whenyou compare it to some of Chistopher Nolan's other movies.

the joker in the movie made it that much better.

and the story was easy to fallow, are you like 8?

Why so serious bro?

First off, I hate the Batman voice it is the most annoying thing ever conceived on screen. As for the movie I thought it was decent not great, not better than the old campier movies of the 90's and certainly not the OMG!!!GREATEST!!!MOVIE!!EVURRRRRR!!!! everyone was saying. It was a passable superhero movie. Also I didn't like Ledger as the Joker, he enver seemed deranged to me, more like a guy who doesn't really care about anything. Jack's performace origianlly was better than Heath's

No characters were explained. Also, the guy with half his face burnt off, how is he talking perfectly normal? This movie just didn't make sense. It was just to long and complicated. They were talking so quiet, I didn't understand what they were saying. Explaining a complicated story by whispering is hard to understand.

because you don't know what makes a film great. the minor touches are what really captivate you. you're probably too daft to notice them. that being said, i didn't see why the movie was so great anyway. i'm an idiot

At least Avatar had a theme and a message. I was waiting for the dark knight to do something. People talking quietly is the dark knight.

Either you kept falling asleep for 20 minute time spans or you're just being hyperbolic for the sake of trying to make a point.spazzx625

The cop summarizes the role of Batman in this world at the end of the movie. If the movie was too quiet then you should turn up the volume.

If his death was the reason why it did well at the box office why didn't Soul Men do well then? The one with the late Bernie Mac. To you and the people who continue saying that: Wouldn't the profits have dropped right down by word of mouth if it was a bad movie and people were just seeing it because of the star that died? Its one of the highest grossing films ever.

I loved it because its really well written, the performances are collectively great, there's a lot of well staged intense action and it also looks amazing. The photography is one of the really unspoken assets of the film.

QFT. People didn't go see The Dark Knight in theaters multiple times just because Heath Ledger died.

Who is Lieutenant James Gordon? Harvey Dent? Sal Maroni?

To all people who are attacking me. Its MY OPINION! I could say the same thing about people not liking Avatar. I thought this movie was boring. I have seen and liked movies with good stories and no action.

The movie 2012 didn't have much of a story and lots of action but I hated it.

I turned up the volume and I soon as I do, Batman comes out on that motorcycle thing and its really loud. So i turn it down, back to people talking quietly.

Didn't have enough action scenes. :lol:super_mario_128

Well Ya, its batman, I expected something more exciting than 60 minutes.

I will agree that the story was hard to follow, or at least it was for me during my first viewing of the movie. I think Christian Bale overdid the growl. Otherwise else, it was a good movie.Genetic_Code

You have to take into account that this movie is a sequel. It's meant to be watched after Batman Begins, just like Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is meant to be watched after Fellowship of the Ring.

Lieutenant Gordon's character was pretty well explained in Batman Begins.

Harvey Dent is an attorney who has been dating Bruce Wayne's ex-girlfriend...I'm not entirely sure how you didn't really "get" his character.

Sal Maroni wasn't that important in the grand scheme of things. He was just a crime boss.

I'm pretty sure they addressed who Gordon was in the previous movie...no point in them being repetative and going over that again. Harvey Dent is the DA of Gotham...they kinda went over that too...
