i have a few problems with this movie batman sounding like he is chewing on rusty nails, bending the barrel of a gun, two face looking like a complete jackass stupid lines like im not the one wearing hockey pants and btw why in the hell did he still talk like he was choking an marbles when he was talking to morgan freeman 4 out 5 stars more like -10 ouf 100
Wait, how did the ending suck? I thought it was perfect for the mood of the movie and also coincided with the theme of heroism present of the dark knight. If the complaint was that it was too cliffhangery its the middle part of the trilogy and those usually have those kinds of endings for good reason.
My class or my entire grade watched this movie for a test, and everyone was supposed to write their own opinion on it and like everybody said that it sucked, had a bad setting and story, just it was the worst movie in the world. But thats JUST because its Batman. Had it been a stand alone film and wasnt like a super hero movie they all wouldve said it was pretty good.
I'm a huge Batman fan period and it goes with out saying having said that that I'm a HUGE TDK fan. However I find myself totally agreeeing with your 'short review' & I mean theres nothing wrong with 'nitpicking' if its done in good taste, makes sense and is not thinly veiled hate. Now specifically touching on yoru nitpicks. Yes I agree it was a tad too long, tho I don't know where they could have cut @, w8 yes I do! The back&forth about the bomb on the ships! That scene begged 4 some trimming!!!
@2TMFK (YOURE NUTS!) As in a double pun you Ass. The Jokers nuts and because he is "nuts." Why would it be "your" nuts wtf? Did this really need an explanation? ha
@xFIRERUSHx Oh,that would have been cool then, to bad it won't happen. I think they are going to continue with the movies just with a different director and maybe different star though,so Robin might still be in it then. I hope so he's awesome.
I liked the movie a lot,but one thing I don't like about these movies is the director doesn't want to use Robin in the movies because this is early Batman,but it's really because he doesn't like Robin, Anyone who actually watched the cartoons or read the comics would know Robin is awesome. Maybe eventually he will use him anyway,that would be awesome.
@nintendude24 Christopher Nolan actually has nothing against Robin, and The Dark Knight Rises is the last of the trilogy. He said he was going to put Robin in the Batman movies once he evolved the character of Batman and when the character got older, because The Dark Knight takes place a bit after Batman Begins. It wouldnt make sense to have a sidekick already. Nolan was originally going to make 7 batman movies, but changed it to 3.
Can't wait until The Dark Knight Rises are coming out but also sad it's the last Nolan work, What do you think about the villians in that movie (Bane, Catwoman, talia) ?

Also I have to say that whole "people hating something because they're old" line is bullshit. I'm sorry. If anything it's the other way around. If it's new or not "classic" then it flat out sucks apparently.
Sorry James but....yeah you DO seem a little biased against newer movies and CGI especially. And it doesn't have anything to do with you refusing to "bow down" to something. Even though you stress that you aren't, there really are some moments where the "nostalgic stamp" is well-deserved. I'm not saying you should change your opinion, but there are some times where you come off as jaded.
Absoloutely. CGI can be rubbish, but then so can "natural" and Man-Made effects! Both can be done terribly, and both can be done fantastically! Movies, images, and fantasy visions have been brought to LIFE with CGI, that otherwise would remain in someones own mind. He does seem to bash it a little, and favour 2D amination effects. I have worked with 3D programs and appreciate the effort that goes into that, and it is far, far greater than 2D animation.
@BuckFastZombie You said it perfectly. It doesn't matter if it's CG, stop-motion, animatronic, etc., as long as it suspends the audience's disbelief well enough.
And you're right. James seems to be extra-critical towards CGI than he normally would to other special effects. I've noticed in recent vids that he's been easier on it though. Just wish he'd finally give a video expressing his full views on special effects and get it over with.
TDK joker was all the jokers of the past combined into one.
This film blends real life scenarios with comic book scenarios so well. the realistic stuff are the portrayal of good and bad and the comic book stuff is the invincible-ness of the joker and batman. This film is intense because of these themes and scenarios. It's the 2nd most intense movie i've ever seen (#1 is No Country For Old Men)
I watched this movie about 8 times, and it's still fucking amazing.
What's wrong with Nostalgia? I like both movies. I think the newer batmans are more epic cinematically, and the older ones are just ones I used to watch.
I'm not that big of a fan of the new Batman movies, although I will agree that they are infinately better than the Joel Shumacher fiascos. I find Bale's "Batman" voice to be boderline comical. The relationship between Batman and the Rachel Dawes character didn't ring true to me for some reason.

@TheReginoGuillen i totally agree, there were so many great movies, now it's like they're out of good ideas, or maybe it's all about the money now (???)
@HelloFade2 Because he doesn't make it. Notice that the voice is only used when in costume. If you look closely in his neck area it has a unique look. His costume makes his voice like this.
Nobody give a shit about the 1989 Batman movie, you're too old to be on you tube, go to your nursing home and eat some pudding you old wrinkly nostalgic mother fucker! Newer is always better old movies are like old people, disgusting and full of shit, there should a law that no one should be allowed to live over 60. Fuck old movies fuck old people and fuck all of you!
@HelloFade2 1. he's 30 that's not that old 2.age doesn't matter were all people with personalities 3. i've grown up in the 2000s and think movies were better in the 80s and 90s to now and im not alone.
@KelanDWood totaley agreed i was born in 1998 and i am finding stuff like happy gilmore and ace ventura and austin powers and pee wee herman sooooooooooo musch funnyer then stuff like paul ;)
@puffpuffdustbunny Well that's your opinion. I respect that. But if you really want to find a different perspective here you go. Romantic-comedies have grown more unoriginal and bland losing all there original charm. Action movies,sci-fi movies and thrillers are more about explosions and special effects rather then genuine suspense. Horror movies are growing more violent and losing what made them scary. And there's less originality. There are still some gems out there though.
there where some good romantic comedies this year by far and some action movies like ironman , the dark knight, or inception don't have much action but makes up for story , and i don't have problems with some action packed cheesy movies like the transformers trilogy.
P.S. the horror genre is probably the worst genre wright now
@puffpuffdustbunny some action movies can be fun but after a while it gets old how much stuff can you blow up. I've not seen any romantic comedies this year and yes there are good action movies with good stories but as I said you do get good movies still. I think George Lucas said it best "Special effects are a tool,the means of telling a story,a special effects without a story is a pretty boring thing". Yes the new star wars prequels contradict what he said but he's a different person now
I didn't like the way The Dark Knight bashes you over the head with it's message. The long monologues basically repeating the themes of the movie over and over, leaving no room for subtlety. Most of these themes I understood from watching the Burton movie,and he didn't have to spell them out.
yknow, i love the dark knight, one of the best movies by far. they just surpassed the levels of a simple comic book movie, and u can really tell they put their asses on this movie. the only reason people prefer burtons version over this is because they feel very nostalgic and aren't used to changes in batman. now, don't get me wrong, batman 89 is one of my fav movies, but isn't nearly anything to dark knight. batman 89 was supposed to be an artsy movie, while dark knight was being godfather
plz make a review on the classic power rangers review! thumbs up if you want james to make a review on the mighty morphon power rangers!! plz for ashton the 90's kid. no for ur fans who grew up with M.M.P.R!
Jack Nicholson was just funny, I didn't get the sense of humor in Keith Ledger, he didn't laugh or joke as much. If he were alive I'd say: "Why so serious?"
It's like the people who compare the original G1 Transformers to the Michael Bay movies. They're two seperate things. Fans of the original pretty much just want a 2 hour episode of G1 rather than something to bring not only old fans, but new ones as well.
Only failed thing in this movie is that Batman changed his voice in first movie he sounded normal and in this movie Batman sounds like he will shit his pants any moment .
i couldn't get in to it because i just hated batman in this movie. everything about his character was just plain and awful. if they made him more interesting than i probably would have loved this movie.
i liked burton's movie a lot but the joker dance scene in the museum was just too goofy. i like the dark knight because... well, it's dark. Batman + Prince = fail.
the nostalgia stamp doesn't make any sense to me. i saw the dark knight before i ever saw batman 1989 but when i saw 1989 i liked it alot more than the dark knight.
Although my favorite Batman is the 1989 Tim Burton film, I enjoyed this movie very much, and got to see a little of the filming action from a distance since I live in the Chicago area.
I will admit that Michael Keaton was the better Batman and Bruce Wayne. But I am more than happy to give Christian Bale second place. Yeah, the growly, raspy voice when he is in the suit can be overdone at times, but overall I think he did good. The best Batman/Bruce Wayne portrayals in order from best to worst would have to be:
@biostyle GHGHIMBAHTMAHNFEF =...Suck a throat pastilles and take off that Halloween costume, retard...
Dude, I don't give a fuck if Bale changes his voice to be unrecognizable (Keaton changes his voice too), it still sounds ridiculous. (hey, I'm not bashing The Dark Knight, its still a great Bat-movie overall).
You aren't a nostalgic jackass because you didn't bow down to the dark knight. Your a nostalgic jackass because you bowed down to burtons batman without good reason.
@TheKinKyMoFo805 oh, there's that "nostalgia stamp" he mentioned. did he say he bowed down to tim burton's batman? no, he said there are some things about it he loves more than the dark knight, and vice-versa. face it, new films are not always better than older films. i could name many movies from the eighties that are better than movies today, but i bet you'll give me that nostalgia stamp.
Its too bad The Dark Knight cant be reviewed in the same fairness as Terminator 2, Aliens, Back to the future, or Raiders of the Lost Ark. Since the internet, ppl can now praise a great movie. When it becomes overly praised, then some people who would have probably liked it a lot more say things like "it was Okay but overrated" or "sorry if thats not a high enough score for you." Just judge it fairly. Im very cultured in film and The Dark Knight is one the greatest movies of all time, imo.
@KevsHardLemonade I think that anyone who drinks anything over hard lemonade would agree.
Also, i've seen all of his older movies, and he sucked back then, he was decent in Public Enemy, but even the character he played in that movie was done wrong.
@shamilton1990 Im sure you have but I wouldnt take a teenager's opinion too seriously. You could say Transformers is a better movie than the Godfather but you wouldn't be right. Christian Bale was a praised cult figure before Batman Begins, when he did movies like American Psycho, Machinist, and Equilibrium.
@Fridayth31st I'm not a teenager, and I'm not sure where you learned to count, much less judge an actors ability, but praised for movies he did in the past or not, it doesn't change the fact that he did a HORRIBLE job playing Batman. There are tons of actors that count have done a much better job than him. Look at the actors that did Batman in the older movies, much MUCH better.
I'm sorry but the only thing Keaton has on Batman better was the voice. He's a great actor but hes so bland. He's boring. I know people expect Batman to be 1D but my god Keaton showed no pain or anguish, its dull. I loved Bale who first of all, acts completely opposite when Wayne and when Batman. Like you see him smile and act like a snob as Wayne while badass as Batman. He shows that he isn't perfect. Batman isn't one to show feelings but Bale captured the fear and pain
@yamisupersaiyan Hmm... you've got a good point there. But still I like Keaton better. We can at least agree that both are better than Val Kilmer who I feel wasn't even trying.
@nightbane2 Well Val Kilmer was good as Bruce Wayne and he is a good actor. I just didn't think he did a good job as Batman. And your right with George Clooney. WORST BATMAN EVER.
Am I the only one that loved Harvey Dent more than the Joker in this film?
He has so much more depth as you see his character change and that seen where he's about to shoot the henchman is so memorable because you see that he's already being broken down by the Joker. And his story was relevant to the theme of the film.
I liked both... my only problem with the 2 jokers is this. The new one didn't laugh enough for me. its the joker, and everything horrible makes him laugh. so that kind got to me but it is very very minor. as for Burton's version. I feel like they made the joker more like the riddler should have been, and vise versa. after watching the first one, and seeing batman forever I often how jim carrey would do as the joker and how Jack would have done as the riddler
I wasn't hyped up for the last two Batman films at all. In fact I didn't feel like seeing the Dark Knight. Once I watched it, I absolutely loved it. I grew up watching the older Batman films from the 80s and 90s too. I loved those as a kid. I recently went back and watched the first one and it wasn't as good as I thought it was. It was decent. The characters were a little bland. I like the atmosphere of 89 one but it's not that great.
Star Trek vs Star Wars. Star Wars is better sorry. BTW I think that The Dark Knight is the best superhero movie ever(and trust me I've seen ALOT of superhero movies I grew up with superheroes). It's just that nothing compares to the dark knight in my opinion except for Maybe batman begins.In my opinion the Batman(1989) is just a little bit behind begins.
I don't think that anyone would deny that Batman 1989 and The Dark Knight are 2 of the best Batman movies BY FAR. I like Batman 1989 for what happens and how it escalates and I like The Dark Knight for how epic it is.
you're nostalgiac not because you won't completely bow down to the dark knight, but becuase you did bow down to '89 batman. You never once said anything bad about it despite it being more of a joker film and it putting atmosphere before character development.
you have to admit that you're a little biased against newer movies and cgi. you may have stressed not to accuse you of nostalgia or whatever, but look on your top 30 favorite movies none of them are from the 2000s. I'm not saying that you should change your mind but i'm just saying you're pretty biased.
@213Corndog i was born in 88 and off the top of my head i dont think theres a movie in my top 30 that was made after 2000/2001 ether, well there may be one or two
i was unbelievably impressed with this film!! I mean i could compare this to the great first spider man film or great sequel! HELL even Batman Returns, but these movies are so different to me, like 007. No point in comparing, because comparing is stupid.
as a stand alone film, this is as realistic as these films can get.
Which just sucks me in and makes me believe everything, all the madness! its a fun film.
Pointless, eh? Well, I do compare them: both of them had the same energy-level, but Heath Ledger presented the true personality of the figure. More serious, more realistic, more horrofying. Heath Ledger is THE JOKER. And This is THE BATMAN-MOVIE? along with Batman Begins.
@qwuezalothus I liked Ledger but...WHY THE FUCK THE JOKER SUOULD BE "REALISTIC"???
He's a damn comic book character! Ledger was a very original Joker, but if we are talking about how much faithful to the comic book he is, then Ledger is not that good: I didn't actually liked how dark he was: Joker is the loud and funny(in the creepy way) guy, while Batman is the dark and serious guy, that's what makes the rivalry between Batman and the Joker so great.
My nitpicks on Dark Knight are pretty minor: Yes Harvey Dent got a lot of screen time, but I felt he shoud've done more once he became Two-Face and had more screen time as Two Face. My number one complaint is the Joker's plan: it was so complicated that every thing had to go right, and if even the smallest thing went wrong the whole plan would fall apart, which made the Joker seem too invicincible
@snakes3425 My nitpick on the Dark Knight, like James, is the ending: they let the Joker survive(I can't understand the point, also, Ledger is dead and NOBODY can replace him) but then they kill Two-Face, the one who doesn't really deserved to die!
Also, I would liked to see more of Two-Face in a sequel, since he had so little screen time...
I really like this film but there were two major flaws that knocked down a few points:
1) Bale is terrible as Batman, he tries to be imtimidating but it just doesn't work; the infmaous rasp voice sucks too.
2) Although I love Harvey Dent (well developed, well casted, good parts in the plot), I felt that Two-Face was too brief in the film and it wasn't tragic.
I've seen many, and I mean MANY reviews on The Dark Knight. But what really PISSES ME OFF, is that everyone talks about The Joker (yes I know Heath Ledger died and I shouldnt be saying this) then the other two villians. Two-Face and Scarecrow. No one talks or barely talks about Two-Face. Yes he was killed off to early, but while he was alive (killing cops or talking to The Joker or being somewhat of a badass) and the short Scarecrow sence.... NO ONE EVEN TALKS ABOUT!!! Come on there in it too!
The movie was written by Christopher Nolan, of course people are going to think it's great! but the movie was WAAAYYYY WAAAAYYYY WAAAAYYY WAAAAYYY TOO fucking overhyped and that's why I didn't really enjoy it that much
No it's not stupid. If a large amount of people come up to you telling you that it's excellent, you begin to have high standards for it, only to be disappointed. Do you even know what overhyped means? and maybe "didn't enjoy" were the wrong choice of words. It was ok, but I was disappointed because of the hype
anyone who likes the first batman movie more than the dark night is a nostalgic, this movie owns all batman movies and heath ledger owns all jokers hands down
i loved that ledger and nickolson were so different from each other mainly because in the comic the joker is always the same so it was nice to see different jokers as portrayed in different moviees
The only reason I enjoyed TDK was because of Heath Ledger, and Aaron Eckhart - those guys own the film.
But don't get it twisted, I don't hate TDK, not at all, far from it. It's one of the best films made in a long time. But I didn't really care for Batman, I mean Bale? He's such a wooden actor, Nolan should have cast someone better.
@TheBoomViper heath ledger owned that movie, it wouldnt of had been so good if it wasnt for movie, and congrats on the writer and director for making such an epic movie in this era of fail movies
@SuperHns no only, heath ledger owned that movie, it wouldnt of had been so good if it wasnt for him, and congrats on the writer and director for making such an epic movie in this era of fail movies*
@SuperHns LOL you get your facts right before talking shit! Those two movies didn't follow the original story at all! The Joker didn't kill Bruce's parents, Max Shrek doesnt exist in the batman universe and Selina didnt turn into catwoman because her boss almost killed her -.-
perfect movie
it was dark, the joker was as he supposed 2 b, the actors were great, had a dramatic feel, etc.

@puffpuffdustbunny Well that's your opinion. I respect that. But if you really want to find a different perspective here you go. Romantic-comedies have grown more unoriginal and bland losing all there original charm. Action movies,sci-fi movies and thrillers are more about explosions and special effects rather then genuine suspense. Horror movies are growing more violent and losing what made them scary. And there's less originality. There are still some gems out there though.
KelanDWood 5 months ago
there where some good romantic comedies this year by far and some action movies like ironman , the dark knight, or inception don't have much action but makes up for story , and i don't have problems with some action packed cheesy movies like the transformers trilogy.
P.S. the horror genre is probably the worst genre wright now
puffpuffdustbunny 5 months ago
@puffpuffdustbunny some action movies can be fun but after a while it gets old how much stuff can you blow up. I've not seen any romantic comedies this year and yes there are good action movies with good stories but as I said you do get good movies still. I think George Lucas said it best "Special effects are a tool,the means of telling a story,a special effects without a story is a pretty boring thing". Yes the new star wars prequels contradict what he said but he's a different person now

I didn't like the way The Dark Knight bashes you over the head with it's message. The long monologues basically repeating the themes of the movie over and over, leaving no room for subtlety. Most of these themes I understood from watching the Burton movie,and he didn't have to spell them out.

yknow, i love the dark knight, one of the best movies by far. they just surpassed the levels of a simple comic book movie, and u can really tell they put their asses on this movie. the only reason people prefer burtons version over this is because they feel very nostalgic and aren't used to changes in batman. now, don't get me wrong, batman 89 is one of my fav movies, but isn't nearly anything to dark knight. batman 89 was supposed to be an artsy movie, while dark knight was being godfather

I will admit that Michael Keaton was the better Batman and Bruce Wayne. But I am more than happy to give Christian Bale second place. Yeah, the growly, raspy voice when he is in the suit can be overdone at times, but overall I think he did good. The best Batman/Bruce Wayne portrayals in order from best to worst would have to be:
1. Michael Keaton
2. Christian Bale
3. Adam West
4. Val Kilmer
5. George Clooney

Its too bad The Dark Knight cant be reviewed in the same fairness as Terminator 2, Aliens, Back to the future, or Raiders of the Lost Ark. Since the internet, ppl can now praise a great movie. When it becomes overly praised, then some people who would have probably liked it a lot more say things like "it was Okay but overrated" or "sorry if thats not a high enough score for you." Just judge it fairly. Im very cultured in film and The Dark Knight is one the greatest movies of all time, imo.

I'm sorry but the only thing Keaton has on Batman better was the voice. He's a great actor but hes so bland. He's boring. I know people expect Batman to be 1D but my god Keaton showed no pain or anguish, its dull. I loved Bale who first of all, acts completely opposite when Wayne and when Batman. Like you see him smile and act like a snob as Wayne while badass as Batman. He shows that he isn't perfect. Batman isn't one to show feelings but Bale captured the fear and pain

Am I the only one that loved Harvey Dent more than the Joker in this film?
He has so much more depth as you see his character change and that seen where he's about to shoot the henchman is so memorable because you see that he's already being broken down by the Joker. And his story was relevant to the theme of the film.
emeraldthechao174 1 year ago
I liked both... my only problem with the 2 jokers is this. The new one didn't laugh enough for me. its the joker, and everything horrible makes him laugh. so that kind got to me but it is very very minor. as for Burton's version. I feel like they made the joker more like the riddler should have been, and vise versa. after watching the first one, and seeing batman forever I often how jim carrey would do as the joker and how Jack would have done as the riddler

I wasn't hyped up for the last two Batman films at all. In fact I didn't feel like seeing the Dark Knight. Once I watched it, I absolutely loved it. I grew up watching the older Batman films from the 80s and 90s too. I loved those as a kid. I recently went back and watched the first one and it wasn't as good as I thought it was. It was decent. The characters were a little bland. I like the atmosphere of 89 one but it's not that great.

as a stand alone film, this is as realistic as these films can get.
Which just sucks me in and makes me believe everything, all the madness! its a fun film.
wetdream09 1 year ago
Pointless, eh? Well, I do compare them: both of them had the same energy-level, but Heath Ledger presented the true personality of the figure. More serious, more realistic, more horrofying. Heath Ledger is THE JOKER. And This is THE BATMAN-MOVIE? along with Batman Begins.

@qwuezalothus I liked Ledger but...WHY THE FUCK THE JOKER SUOULD BE "REALISTIC"???
He's a damn comic book character! Ledger was a very original Joker, but if we are talking about how much faithful to the comic book he is, then Ledger is not that good: I didn't actually liked how dark he was: Joker is the loud and funny(in the creepy way) guy, while Batman is the dark and serious guy, that's what makes the rivalry between Batman and the Joker so great.
Still, Ledger did well

My nitpicks on Dark Knight are pretty minor: Yes Harvey Dent got a lot of screen time, but I felt he shoud've done more once he became Two-Face and had more screen time as Two Face. My number one complaint is the Joker's plan: it was so complicated that every thing had to go right, and if even the smallest thing went wrong the whole plan would fall apart, which made the Joker seem too invicincible
snakes3425 1 year ago 3
@snakes3425 My nitpick on the Dark Knight, like James, is the ending: they let the Joker survive(I can't understand the point, also, Ledger is dead and NOBODY can replace him) but then they kill Two-Face, the one who doesn't really deserved to die!
Also, I would liked to see more of Two-Face in a sequel, since he had so little screen time...

I really like this film but there were two major flaws that knocked down a few points:
1) Bale is terrible as Batman, he tries to be imtimidating but it just doesn't work; the infmaous rasp voice sucks too.
2) Although I love Harvey Dent (well developed, well casted, good parts in the plot), I felt that Two-Face was too brief in the film and it wasn't tragic.

I've seen many, and I mean MANY reviews on The Dark Knight. But what really PISSES ME OFF, is that everyone talks about The Joker (yes I know Heath Ledger died and I shouldnt be saying this) then the other two villians. Two-Face and Scarecrow. No one talks or barely talks about Two-Face. Yes he was killed off to early, but while he was alive (killing cops or talking to The Joker or being somewhat of a badass) and the short Scarecrow sence.... NO ONE EVEN TALKS ABOUT!!! Come on there in it too!
