Tonight. Bet it's shit.

Why so serious?

Heath Leger is absolutely fantastic.

Do you know how he got those scars?

I really like Maggie G, though I understand the 2-face conundrum. Good call.

I really like Maggie G, though I understand the 2-face conundrum. Good call.

I fell in love with her during that 'Stranger Than Fiction' movie...went off her again when I heard her wittering about the complexity of her character in this Dark Knight thing.

It's a crazy situation.

I really like Maggie G, though I understand the 2-face conundrum. Good call.

I like her better in Stranger Than Fiction and Sherry Baby. I don't think she works that well as a traditional leading lady.

On reflection, it was great until about two thirds of the way in.... and then I honestly feel it lost its way.

I don't think any of the setups in the 3rd act hit home. The ferry scene was pretty poor. Batman using that sonar shit (?!?) was just silly. The showdown with Gordon/Harvey/Bats was a big letdown. And the way Harvey checked out????

Harvey and Bats talking to each other sounded like a support group for nicotine addicts.

Compare any of those scenes with the pod chase, the Joker meeting the mob for the first time, the "Sky Hook" kidnap, Joker visiting Harvey in the hospital, all the cool twists and turns in the plot.... Basically I thought the last 3rd was flat! And that speech by Gordon at the end? Jesus.

The ferry scene was pretty poor.

I really liked that scene

Batman using that sonar shit (?!?) was just silly.

yeah, especially when the Joker was right in front of him

The showdown with Gordon/Harvey/Bats was a big letdown.

yeah, his reasons for hating Gordon were fairly forced I think

but still though, it was great.

 

[CitySickness]

This film had a lot of problems. And far too much tell and not enough show.

Still enjoyed it, mind.

 

[Johnnyc]

So the official thumped.com view is that it was pretty good, but flawed. Lock this thread before Avernus comes in and battarangs our asses into oblivion.

I'm pretty sure I saw him touching himself at one point during the movie.
