I finally saw Dark Knight last night.
Overall I really liked this movie. The flying scenes were amazing! The action was excellent and the story was involving for the most part. I thought it was great to see the good in even the criminals that wanted redemption at the end where they wouldn't blow up the other ferry.
But, there are several things that bothered me:
I new Rachel was IMO unattractive and dispassionate. Katie Holmes was much better as was her connection to Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins. There was just no emotion from the new Rachel in this movie and she seemed very *****y to me. I felt no remorse when she died.
- What's with the deal when Batman was about to run down the joker on his bike and fell off? That made NO sense whatsoever
- I thought it was pathetic that Batman was ready to reveal his identity in hopes that the Joker would stop killing people
- There was absolutely no reason to instantly create and destroy the two face character. his death should have been saved for a sequel
- What's up with Christian Bale? He seemed like he lost a lot of weight in this movie
- In Batman Begins, he kills the main villian by not saving him on the train. Why didn't he do the same with the Joker? I just don't buy him going out of his way to save him again
- I thought it was ridiculous how Batman just beats the crap out of the Joker yet the Joker doesn't feel pain, doesn't bleed, or nothing
That being said I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and hope the next one will be on the same level and NOT introduce a Penguin, Robin or Batgirl character. If they do Mr. Freeze, this time it should be Patrick Stewart and NOT Arnold!
PS. I don't understand why everyone was rushing to that particular hospital. Did I miss something? I swore I heard the Joker say if nobody kills the person about to reveal Batman's identity in 60 min, he will blow up A hospital, not naming a specific one. Somebody please explain this as I may have been paying too much attention to the nachos on that particular scene.
