Dark Knight

Pros: Ledger as the Joker. Strong story and cast.
Cons: Could be too dark for some. One subplot was a bit rushed.

Ever since I saw and loved B atman Begins, I have been more interested in Batman. I have been wanting to see the sequel, The Dark Knight, basically since then as well. It was the movie I have most been ...

Pros: special effects, Heath Ledger's turn deep into malevolence
Cons: mostly wasting Caine, Freeman, Oldman; pacing; plausibility of Joker enterprises

Although I watched the DVD of "The Dark Knight" on its first day of release, I didn't think that I was going to write anything about it until the last scene (and epilogue). The deja vu I experienced was not for earlier Batman movies, but for John ...

Pros: great cast, very dramatic, Ledger, lots of action, well-done picture
Cons: very violent, a tad long, it's a comic book film

It was in 2005 that the Batman franchise was reborn under the direction of Christopher Nolan. Bringing back a darker side to the caped crusader, Nolan sought to not only make the DC comic book hero seem more realistic, but give him an edge that he had ...

Pros: Heath Ledger's final performance is outstanding
Cons: Dark, long, dark, no character development at all. And did I mention dark?

Batman and I have a love/hate relationship. He often seems to be dark and serious, and I don't care for the overly dark. When he gets to be lighter, I enjoy him. And seriously, when you look at the villains on his roster, there should be some fun there. ...

Pros: Ledger's Oscar-winning performance; good production values; interesting screenplay and story
Cons: A bit too long; some story elements should have been saved for a future installment

One of the sad consequences of how Warner Bros. allowed the Batman film franchise to be run into the ground - quality-wise - in the 1990s by directors Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher was my inclination to ignore both of writer-director Christopher Nolan's ...

Pros:
Heath Ledger as The Joker.
Cons:
Uneven pacing.
Much too long.

  Last night, I finally saw the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight. Cheapness, a good DVD player, and a large screen TV had stopped me seeing it earlier. Wulfette requested it from the county library and in due course, it came. And ...

Pros: Heath Ledger's performance
Cons: Lack of flow

This movie answers the question: How much can one actor add to a movie?In this movie’s predecessor, Batman Begins, we learned the how and why of Bruce Wayne, wealthy playboy and heir, becoming ...

Pros: Deep, moving, thinking man's action. Oscar worthy performances, and effects.
Cons: None. It is as close to perfect as any Superhero movie has come.

The Dark Knight (2008) Directed by Christopher Nolan ”You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” Harvey Dent, District Attorney, Gotham City. When Heath Ledger died from drug ...

Pros: everything you’d expect for its budget, various characters are well connected
Cons: pacing, do all good v. evil stories need a fight for the world?

I should put forth the disclaimer right away: I thought Batman Begins was one of the worst movies I’d seen in a long time.  It was stylistically pleasing, but the plot was beyond ridiculous.  While it seemed to strive for realism, ...

Pros: .
Cons: .

They need to stop spending $185 million dollars on comic book movies.  At best, you use the $185 million to make a huge profit and decrease the maturity of America.  But there's immaturity, and then there's this:(from ...

Pros: Heath Ledger's Joker, great cast and acting.
Cons: Too long, some eye rolling plot devices.

The Dark Knight is the sequel to the wildly popular Batman Begins movie, a more "realistic" take on the Batman mythos created with comic books, cartoons, television shows, and the previous generation of Batman movies. Starring Christian Bale as Batman, ...

Pros: Plot, Character, Action, Pacing, Special Effects, Soundtrack, Acting
Cons: None that I could find!

Superhero movies are the reason we have Summer Blockbuster Season. For the summer, we want big, bold and something that is enough to drive us to the theater (other than the air conditioning) to get excited about. For those who do not follow my reviews, I ...

Pros: Heath Ledger does a great job as the Joker.
Cons: none!

I remember when the Dark Knight animated series came out. I was fascinated by the graphics. Then they came out with the movie. It took me a very long time to allow myself to finally watch it. But something told me that I should when a friend of mine ...

Pros: E-V-E-R-Y Thing – A masterpiece of movie making
Cons: Christian’s Batman voice on occasion

Growing up as a fan of Batman stories I was awed by Tim Burton's darkly gothic visual presentation. I couldn't care less about Adam West's Batman, but Michael Keaton's - I was all about it. I was also a big fan of Jack Nicholson's Joker. He's gotten a ...

Pros: Fantastic cast and character development.  Heath Ledger stole the show!
Cons: Hard to hear the distorded voice of batman.

I have to say I truly enjoyed this sequel to Batman Begins.  The Dark Knight definitely lived up to all the hype and I do feel that Heath Ledger delivered an “Oscar” worthy performance (I would feel the same if he was still ...
