The Dark Knight Thoughts (Spoiler Warning)

So, I've finally seen Nolan's 'The Dark Knight', and while I enjoyed it a great deal, I do have my fair share of complaints. Well, two or three...

Overall, it was a great movie, but it seems like a lot of critics are giving it too much praise. Yes, it's a very good movie, and I can recommend it to both action movie fans and fans of Batman alike. All things considered, it ropes itself about an 8-8.5 out of 10.

Dialog was generally really good, and Heath Ledger played a fantastic Joker. I haven't liked a single other role of his, but he seemed really into the character. I don't think it'd be much of a surprise to see him receive a posthumous Oscar nomination for it, and I don't think many people honestly would.

A lot of bits seemed to come out of nowhere, and I was surprised to see Two-Face make an appearance at all, and I'm not sure it was such a good idea to have him in the movie like that. It felt a little tacked-on, despite the foreshadowing, and it seemed like they should have left him for another movie altogether. I can give the studio credit, at the very least, for not advertising him like crazy like Marvel Pictures did with Venom in Spider-Man 3. In that way, it comes off as much better than Venom's portrayal, but it seems like they could have saved it.

Anyway, there's my two cents. (Sorry for the spoilers, if you're actually mad about that, but I did warn you.)
