Oh.. before you bitch and complain, just know I'm going to talk about the movie. So if you don't wanna hear anything, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!



Ok, so... I guess I just wanted to see more of the Joker and less of Harvey Dent. I really didn't care too much for all the political bullshit with Harvey, and it didn't seem like there was that much of a connection between him and Rachel. It was kinda like they were always hanging out and then after 'the explosion' he's super pissed off, and it didn't seem like his pure rage was that motivated.

It would be like if I were walking around and someone borrowed pencil from me, and then they broke and I went into a fucking rage and started killing his family, his friends, their dogs.. it just seemed like his reaction came out of nowhere. I guess that's what is meant by his villain name, but to someone that doesn't read cartoon books, that didn't come across to well in the movie.

It seemed like there were 3 movies going on, instead of 1 movie with 3 different acts.

The first movie was between Batman and the Joker, then the 2nd movie was between Harvey Dent and everyone else, and the 3rd movie just had a lot of nonsense in it to waste time.

The boats with the criminals, and the prisoners... WHAT THE FUCK??? That didn't have anything to do with Batman. Show them in peril, and show Batman throwing Joker off the roof and I GUESS he dropped the remote because he had it, and then suddenly he didn't have it. So show them in peril, but to build up a small story between the boats and making them choose and showing that for 20 minutes. Fuck all that... just show a bunch of screaming people, fuck all the voting (ala reality show), and the criminals with good hearts. Stupid.

I did like the action sequences, his motorcycle was pretty cool, and I saw it at the cineramadome so I was damn near deaf when I left. I had a ringing in my ears two hours later.

The action sequences were neat, the joker was cool, the Harvey Dent makeup was so over the top I kept looking at it but could care less for all the dumb shit he was doing.

Oh and some of the camera moves were making me sick.. in particular, there is a scene where the joker crashes a party. FUCK... don't sit in the first row of the balcony at the Dome and watch that scene on an 86 foot wide screen. The camera is so shaky and spins around the Joker and Rachel so much we were all leaning to one side thinking we were gonna fall off the earth.

And I guess I didn't follow the ending too much. Too political with Harvey and his beliefs and Batman running off... Fuck it.. why not just say "Harvey went apeshit and we killed him"

With our economy as fucked up s it is, and our politicians as dumb as they are, the last thing I want to do is go see a movie with a bad ass villain and then get preached to about hope. I just want to be taken out of my surroundings. I want to escape.

I dunno... maybe it's just me.
