Movie - The Dark Knight - Legendary Pictures

The Dark Knight is a movie that takes place primarily in the dark , and at many times, night .
It’s an interesting concept that should be looked into further for future films involving dark and night .

This film was pretty awesome , though not in all the ways that I wanted it to be. The Joker was not always funny enough, while acting in his evil “50% dark” and “50% night” ratio explored in this film he should have also had a extra 50% silly ratio added so that he might enter a 150% level of silly-awesomeness .
Example: The joker was shining best when he was dressed as a nurse and blowing up Gotham General Hospital. That area of the movie reached the 150% point, I wish it had lasted throughout the movie.

This movie was a bit long, it was mostly necessary build up, but the peak point of interest in the movie wasn’t… it was a jumble of action scenes that were about the same level of action so instead of getting an experience where you get more and more excited you end up getting excited and then cooling off from that excitement and then repeating this process about 6 times .

The soundtrack was a bit of an underachiever here. Being blatantly (annoyingly) obvious in some parts and not being used at all in other emotional points of interest or if it was, I didn’t notice. Though the hammery clanky theme of the movie is alright, I thought it worked better in Batman Begins cause it was more forge-like in nature. I kinda hoped the composer would have moved away from it more and made this move stand further away from the first. And uh… LINK!

In short I’d give it,
