Worst movie adaptation

Rating: 1/10 (30 October 2016)

Immediately the title is off-putting, "The Dark Knight". Who in their right mind names a Batman Movie "The Dark Knight". You could write me an essay on how it is a brilliant title which is deep on so many levels but I won't have it. The inclusion of the word knight only makes me think of medieval times and the only thing medieval about this film is that it is a perfect form of medieval torture. Every time I am forced to watch this whether in class or at home because "some" deem it the best movie ever made a part of me wants to die.
Here is a plot summary of the Dark Knight if you have been lucky enough not to have watched it. (Joker confronts mob saying he can kill Batman; mob think he is crazy. Joker broadcasts plan and says people will die until Batboy turns himself in, people think he's crazy. Harvey Dent wants to take down whole mob with one swoop, Mob thinks Dent is crazy.) That is only half of the plot and adds up for an hour and a half of boring predictable screen filler. So many subplots and characters overcrowd this movie. With the characters they have in this movie they could have made 4 great films but instead they made one cluster disaster. The other half of the movie isn't even worth mentioning it is so bad.
The only good thing in the second half of the movie is where Rachael and Harvey are rigged to explosives at different locations and Batman has to pick one so he chooses Rachael. It turns out to be Harvey so Rachael dies! Yes! Thank you! I have never wanted a main character to die so much in my life. She is a useless character who just seems to dig her way into the story but adds nothing to it. Bruce considers her his love interest but she doesn't even like him so it is perfect that they killed her off. I applaud them for this. I applaud them because they completely disregarded logic in order to kill her. Surely there was enough time to save both if some police officers in the area did their job for once and went to the addresses. But no they did the right thing and it helps me sleep at night knowing Rachael is dead.
The Joker is considered the start of the show but he is a really lazily developed character. He has no backstory and even the pathetic writers didn't give him a back story to work with. Heath Ledgers voice wasn't even used for filming because the Imax projectors were so loud so all sounds had to be added post production. Maybe this is why the joker doesn't feel scary or realistic. They ruined everything they had by dubbing Heath ledger. It makes me feel entirely detached from the whole movie not having original sounds.
The Joker is a waste of space. He is not at all like what the Joker should have been in terms of his plans. Jokers usually generate chaos and disregard anything fair. But in this awful adaptation he acts more like Harvey Dent in the comics with his 50/50 scenarios, like the boat scene. The two villains are too much alike. They could have created this movie to have focused on just Harvey or the Joker but instead we end up with two undeveloped characters. How do you mess up this badly when they literally own the rights to some of the best comic book characters in history? It's like being given the instructions to a Lego kit and eating the Lego instead. How do you mess up this badly?
The Jokers purpose in the movie is to push Batman to his limits in terms of morals. Batman has one rule; he will not kill. But what does he do at the end to Harvey Dent?!?! We are just meant to overlook this? He was willing to kill for one boy but won't kill the joker who threatens a whole city. If Batman got a Glock and killed anyone who threatened innocent people, this would have been a very short movie. If Batman was willing to kill for greater good which defies his whole moral code, then the whole character is useless.
In conclusion this movie is an awful comic book adaptation which is about as funny as Schindler's list. This movie will make you send a complaint to piratebay.com for allowing you to illegally download this movie. Everyone involved with the making of this film should be publicly shamed for the rest of their natural lives. The people who made this film are the sort of scum that lie about having cancer so they can claim the benefits. I hope every night they wake up asking themselves why did I ever get involved with that garbage. This movie is still better than Batman Vs Superman Dawn of Justice. Will Batman ever get justice and have a good movie?
