Possibly the most overrated film of all time

Rating: 1/10 (2 March 2020)

Some things I will never understand. Women, why we exist on earth, and the massive praise this film has received since its release in 2008. The Dark Knight is truly overrated. For starters, Bale's Batman voice is laughable and distracting. It's horrendous. The score of this film is so tedious it feels like one giant trailer, it fails to recognize suspense. The film itself is a wannabe gangster film and it's very boring. I will give it to Nolan though, he may very well be a genius. He made a comic book film as close to real life as possible, which I theorize caused so many people to praise the film itself to be genius. It was something very different. But that's not enough to make a movie "the best movie of all time", as I've heard it being referred to. I've tried countless times to give this movie a chance. Over and over struggling to find out why it's held so high. I cannot say that I simply dismissed it, I've actually tried. And yes, I'm fully aware of Heath Ledger's performance and that it was a key element of this film's praise and success. And yes Ledger was terrific, that's apparent. His annoying tongue tick aside and tiring faux "you wanna know how I got these scars" stories, he became the Joker. But that just wasn't enough for me, the film isn't a masterpiece, not even close. It's almost as bad as your typical action film. You know what, who is anyone kidding, this is a typical action movie with Batman. I don't care about the characters, there's too many distractions. I am still in search for someone who will agree with me, as it seems that everyone holds this film to a high standard.
