and why is it the Dark Knight?
A chatterbox convo inspired this. My enlightened reasons:
1). The movie is a constant climax with the last climax being the worst one
2). Heath Ledger's brilliant Joker performance is wasted having no background on the Joker and how he became so twisted. Doesn't need to be a complete origin story, but need some tangible background.
3). The cell phone technology/NSA/Bush parallels were dumb, political and ludicrous
4). Batman's constant internal struggles about his role in Gotham were tiresome and contrived
5). Joker escaping from the jail was one of the dumbest scenes in movie history
6). Two face was absolutely wasted as a character in the movie and the series. What was the point? Why not just kill Dent instead of making a main villain appear for mere minutes?
7). Two face not blowing the joker away with the pistol while they were both in the hospital made absolutely no sense
8). The Batman needing to be the bad guy so Harvey Dent could remain a white knight was weak sauce and also made no sense.
9). The bad voice was distracting and unnecessary
Basically the entire movie was like every other Christopher Nolan movie since Memento. It was well shot and looked good with a terrible script that tries too hard. A movie that people fawn over to not go against the grain. The third one was about as bad. Name all the reasons you agree the movie was horrible that I haven't already pointed out.
