The Dark Knight

Does Not Live Up To The Hype

I know there are many who will disagree with me, but I was not overwhelmed by this movie. Heath Ledger was brilliant as Joker. The Joker was underused, however. I'm not particularly a fan of Christian Bale. I find his acting flat, as I found it in this movie. I believe he has the worst Batman voice ever. There were too many subplots going on at once and I found this detracted from the main plot at times. Sure, there were lots of chases and explosions, but not all of them were necessary. Bigger is not always better and I wish the movie makers out there would realize this. So many movies could be totally streamlined. It's like everything was in this movie, except the kitchen sink. I found the movie to be too long. It just didn't live up to the hype for me.

PLease don't fall into the trap of figuring hype for entertainment. You seem to be underestimating the filmmaking while not even mentioning the writing. There's too many facets you're putting into the same category.
