The Dark Knight.

There isn't a lot of room for "detective elements" when the villain is a random anarchist. That's the whole point of the Joker, and has been (in every carnation of the character), for the past 40 years.

What about that whole group of mobsters that Batman did nothing about? Oh wait, it was implied that he was doing things off-screen, so I guess that's almost like pseudo detective work.

Except it's not at all.

EDIT: It's really not worth it.

Farewell, Underoo. I'll be putting your posts on the good ol' Ignore list.

[Saz]

I'm laughing so hard right now.

[Pinky]

You don't scare me.

[Sage]

If the movie was a bomb, you'd have loved it, Underoo.

You're like the embodiment of the idea that liking things most people don't or 'liking it before it was cool' makes you special.

[Pinky]

That's just stupid. How do you explain that I like Iron Man, then?

I'll tell you why I like it: it's a good movie. The acting was quality, the characters well-written, and the plot coherent. My personal opinion isn't even a factor here, the movie stands on its own two feet and that's why I like it.

You just want me to be some counter-popularity fag. That doesn't actually make me such, however.

Just see it again. I watched it last night and realized you were wrong on pretty much every point you tried to make.

TDK is srs biz

Aside from some small details, my memory of the movie is very clear. In fact, my brain is a curse to me in that way; I've been trying to forget this horseshit ever since I saw it and this thread that keeps bobbing at the top of the forum page isn't helping.

For instance, take the interrogation scene. Batman gets to play a hammy hardcore-but-no-killer-bad-cop loner... while the cops are watching him. From the very first moment nobody was under any impression that Batman was going to do anything interesting to the Joker, while the Joker for his part was vomiting up subtext for his dialog again. And why were all of the lights on and the walls are splashed in white? That just accentuated the awkward and lumpy design of that rubber suit. That scene would have been better if the lights had stayed off, and instead the lights had been turned on in the viewing room to show that nobody is in there before Batman drags Joker into the shadows. Then Batman would "aggressively interrogate" in some intentionally poorly lit parts of the room, and the viewers' imaginations would be allowed to make up whatever they want, and nobody would have to have been exposed to the eye-watering view of that rubber suit.

But no, what am I thinking? Everybody likes the movie, therefore it must be awesome. After all, the majority is always right, right? RIGHT?

internetz is srs biz

Fixed.

It just made over $500 million dollars. Just an FYI.

I'm not arguing with anybody, you're all entitled to your opinions no matter how skewed, cynical, silly, stupid, intelligent, passionate, right, wrong, indifferent, pretentious, holier-than-thou they might be...

You just wrote an extensive complaint on lighting factors in one scene of the movie.

So to get this straight, you think that the producers should have skimped out on high budget effects and visualization to allow the viewer to imagine the action, instead of seeing it, when this movie was predominantly an action flick?

I fail to see the logic.

It wasn't just the lighting, it was the whole scene; the dialog, the context, and the action.

Seriously, Batman is supposed to be a detective, and in this film he resorts to slapstick-style violence during an interrogation? And the interrogation itself is exemplary of how crude this film was. When you have a scene that goes something along the lines of, "Question: why is [blank] happening?; Answer: plot point", it's because you've failed to convey a coherent progression of the plot up to that point, and now you are backed into the corner where the only way out is to redirect the film with naked exposition. How any of you guys enjoyed this movie is simply beyond me.

[Dehan]

Really...you guys just looked so deep into this movie it's not even funny lol. *Can't wait for it to hit dvd*

[Jack]

[Dehan]

[Dehan]
