Re: Dark Knight
Finally saw it. My only major gripe was the new actress for Rachel Dawes, they really needed Katie Holmes back.
I don't really see what was so special about Heath Ledger's acting. Good, but nothing extraordinary.
Eckhart's make-up whether CGI or real was quite impressive.

Re: Dark Knight
we saw it. i wanted to see Hellboy II but the theatre we went to wasn't showing it...
The Joker was very well acted, and would get raves even if the actor hadn't died.
I agree the movie was poorly paced
As a sit-through-it experience, I enjoyed Iron Man much more. I am used to Tivo, where i can pause when i want to, and i have some attention-deficit issues, so a movie has to be really well paced for me not to get fidgety.
Most parts of the movie were good, but it just didn't add up to a great movie.
A brisk 90-minute feature of Batman vs The Joker with Harvey Dent as a crusading side character would have worked better, perhaps including Harvey's unfortunate fate, and ending with a hint of his future, but focusing on Batman vs The Joker.
The Batman vs Two-Face situation could have been played out in the next movie.
one story at a time, please.
The last Spiderman movie had the same problem. The Venom storyline was obviously just tacked on. I know its just comic book stuff but the Venom goop comes in a meteroite and just happens to land next to where Peter Parker is parked?
If the story is good there is nothing wrong with the traditional story structure with a single main conflict. It is really hard to pull off this extended two stories in one b*s and still have a well-paced movie that the audience can follow.
However, i did get to see the Watchmen trailer on the big screen, and i'm having a hard time not getting too psyched about this one.

I don't agree, but anytime you say the words "they really needed Katie Holmes back" I'll at least give you credit for a bold statement.AdmiralKird wrote:Finally saw it. My only major gripe was the new actress for Rachel Dawes, they really needed Katie Holmes back.

Re: Dark Knight
They both mailed it in and/or were unconvincing. The only distinction being that with Maggie you would expect more than that.

Re: Dark Knight
I just sat in the theater wondering how the actress in Batman Begins aged about 30 years in 3.

Re: Dark Knight
I know it's not the common stance on this, but I think Gyllenhall's more attractive.
There, I said it.
