Wow! I read this review after seeing this movie the fourth time. Its so awsome! There are things, you say , that are just completly wrong. Its not even an opinion; it is just wrong. Like a solution in mathamatics. The score is not bad and both Eckhart and especially Oldman play their roles very good. I actually could not think of a better police officer, then this Gordon. I do not know the comics. I just know this movie and Batman Begins. Both are absolutly great. You really should stop posting this awful reviews. The more I read it, the more bad it gets. It does not make any sense to give this movie 0 out of 4 and say I might see it again and buy the DVD. Even if the only thing you like, was Heaths performance, then it can not have 0 out of 4. To be clear. You are a total idiot! I will not look at this site ever again. I just found the review with google. I dont know who you are, but you should stop posting anything.

I thought the Dark Knight was good for what it was but the over-the-top cartoon, action feature has never been my favorite genre. However, I see why my teenage son loved it. The story has a compelling drive and the pacing is brisk. I think Nolan is fine director and cannot see why you are so harsh. I don't think the film is pretentious but necessarily self-important because its fans demand it. A guy running around in a bat suit is inherently silly if he cannot convey some gravity to what he is doing.
