Why does everyone fuss about the Dark Knight?

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

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 there to show you basically how crazy the Joker was.

[QUOTE="Dylan_11"][QUOTE="iginlawasup"]

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.

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.

Harvey Dent: He is introduced as the new District Attorney of Gotham City, one who is cleaning up the streets. Turns into Two-Face, the transformation which is shown slowly throughout the movie.

Sal Maroni: Shown as a mob boss. Obviously a bad guy.

Are you sure you watched the movie? Did you forget to equip any hearing or visual aides you may need?

The only problem I have with the movie is that it takes a tremendous leap of faith that events all played out perfectly in the middle of the movie, starting at the joker pretending to be a cop in the parade to pretty much the end of the film.

This is my opinion. The dark knight was an awful movie in my opinion. I liked to kill a mocking bird that had a good story. People on ferrys? What was that thing with the phones in the end? I may have gotten the gist of the story. But really you don't have to go on trying to offend me to prove your point. If you read a book were no characters were introduced, would you understand and like the book?

[QUOTE="super_mario_128"]Didn't have enough action scenes. :lol:iginlawasup

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

You mean Batman begins? I didn't know that was the sequel! :?

If I was reading a sequel to a book and the author decided that he had to explain who the characters were again, I'd be bored as hell.

Besides, Harvey Dent was introduced pretty well.

Sal Maroni is like the 10th most important character in the movie, so he's not going to get that much of a backstory.

I thought batman was going to be cool. I saw two of the older one when I was a kid and liked them.

People on the ferrys were leaving gotham, they explained it twice right before that part. And if you live in Chicago (like I do) where it was filmed, you would understand why they had water/ferrys in the movie in the first place. But they still explained it anyway.

I dont know what you mean by the "phones" part. Explain please.

Okay TC, were you only looking for something to blow up in the movie or were you actually paying attention. The movie was pretty straight forward. Despite many users thinking it is overatted I actually love the movie and it is one of my top super hero movie. What I think the movie did well in compared to other superhero movies is the protrayal of realism and how it felt more like a thriller despite it being a Batman movie.

They did not make it clear that it was a sequel. Like in Star Wars they had the yellow writing in the start. Star Wars had a good balance of story and action.

[QUOTE="iginlawasup"]

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.

bobdood99

Austin Powers was funny and creative. I enjoyed Austin Powers, The Dark Knight I just wanted to be over.

It is a brilliant film, and Christopher Nolan is a brilliant director. Calling both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight "just another Batman film" just goes to show you either haven't seen the older Batman films (Batman & Robin especially), or you don't care to remember how awfully bad they are. It also shows you really haven't been exposed to many quality films, and don't have a necessarily broad palate when it comes to having a good background to form a respectable opinion.

I would mention Heath Ledger's amazing performance as The Joker... but that is irrelevant to the quality of the film and is merely one amazing aspect among many.

Why didn't they just kill they joker when they caught him? If he is such a villain, the cop should have just shot him when they caught him.

Why did Batman take the fall at the end?

Look up "The Dark Knight is Confused" on youtube.

I did not see the first one, and I did not know who the director was. They didn't make it clear it was a sequel. I thought they were two seperate movies.

Ok, so he is just going to let the joker continue to kill people? And I was saying the cop should have shot him right there.

He's a mass murderer. People don't have sympathy for him. Its just a hole in the plot. Batman does more harm than good by not killing him. "You can not just kill someone who is mentally ill"

You can not just let a mentally ill person kill innocent people.

Austin Powers was an adult comedy movie which I did like. The Dark Knight was an action adventure which I did not like. I can't even call it action, because it was just talking!

Have you heard of the DC Snipers? 7-8 years ago, they were people who went around Washington DC with a Sniper Rifle and killed people at random...serial killers. They were arrested.

That's just one example. It happens a lot.

• Bank robbery at the beginning
• "Magic Trick" with the pencil
• The fake batmans with Scarecrow in the parking garage
• Everything related to Hong Kong
• A DISTRICT ATTORNEY punching a guy in the face
• The Joker blowing crap up with rocket launchers from the side of a truck
• The same district attorney shooting the driver of a car that he's in
• The Joker opening a dude up in prison and putting a bomb inside of him, eventually blowing the whole place up
• The Joker blowing up a hospital
• The scene where Joker is finally captured

That's just off the top of my head. No action?

If you didn't like the movie, fine...but saying that it had little action is flat-out wrong.

Ok, I say I don't like a movie, and everyone on gamespot who likes the dark knight attacks me. Ill take the one line from this movie to all the people bashing me. Why so serious?

Jeez people, chill out, people aren't always going to agree with you.

We're just trying to help you remember as it seems you don't remember or didn't understand chunks of the movie.

Because it is one of the greatest films caught on screen.

Heath arguably becomes the greatest villain of all time (behind maybe Vader) and captivates you every moment he's on screen.

The music was astounding.

The pace was electrifying.

The acting was terrific.

And the batpod was awesome.

Overall, it's my favorite movie, and I'd say it's one of the best ever made...

It was pretty much a perfectly made film. Only one to make a super hero movie feel epic.

It was good for a Batman movie... Not saying much.

what are you kidding me

when our civilization dies and aliens visit our planet this is the movie aliens will worship
religions will be started from this movie and it will be said
He who is with Justice kick the first ass

It was a good movie. The monologue ending felt cheap, Bale was worthless throughout, and there were some pacing/editing problems, but overall the film is very good, both a major triumph for the genre, and for the Batman mythology in general, of which I am an enormous fan.

Personally, I prefer Batman Begins, but I wouldn't argue with anyone who liked TDK better.

It was an excellent action movie, it hardly had it's flaws, Avatar was flawed however.

I'm not fan of Batman, I hated the older movies, but when I watch Batman Begins and TDK, I realised that Batman was turned into something really good.
