Horrible

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 2009)

This is, without a doubt, one of the worst motion pictures I've ever seen. The primary actors in this film should be ashamed of their performances in this picture. Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine are two of the finest actors in the business. These men are generally the gold standard in their profession, however in The Dark Knight, they allow the horrible script and direction drag them to lows I never thought possible. This picture is a great example of poor story telling and bad direction.
The editing was horrible and the "special effects" were childish, even the photography was weak. Yeah, we get the gray tones and the urban hues... but please, enough already. The story was confusing, there was no one to like (even Batman), no plot, too many explosions, too much repetition, horrible dialog and a weak, unsatisfying ending.
So, what made this movie successful? Four things. The Batman brand. Marketing. Marketing. Marketing.
Geez, this was just so disappointing.
