Terrible

Rating: 1/10 (16 July 2008)

Wow... Words cannot even describe how incredibly awful this movie was. The acting was poor, mediocre at best, (yes, that is including Heath Ledger's supposedly "oscar-worthy" performance as the Joker) the plot was simply terrible and amazingly uneven, as if no one had bothered to make a final edit. It is one of the slowest and most boring movies I have ever seen, I have never walked out of a movie before but I was highly tempted with this mess, checking my watch every few minutes before the one hour mark in what ended up being a two and a half hour movie that seemed oh so much longer. I found that the best part of the film was when the credits started rolling. Whilst Michael Bay's blockbuster movies are terrible, at least they are somewhat entertaining. Sadly, I cannot say the same for "The Dark Knight." Ignore all the hype and don't be fooled by the trailers which suggest this may be a good film - This movie was plain terrible, a complete train wreck. 1/10
