A Review for the Pretentious and Overprotective Fanatics of The Dark Knight

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2019)

Let me start by this: I love The Dark Knight. I saw it for the first time when I was eight and have watched it two more times ever since. And it has always held up. It's special. Heath Ledger's perfromance is my favourite thing about this movie and I also love Hans Zimmer's score,Nolan's world building and the themes. You know,everyone always talk about the positives of TDK.
Audience and critics alike praise this movie. It's pretty much considered a sin to criticize this movie. Some of the...less tolerable fans of TDK get insecure and triggered when a new action movie is out and gets more higher ratings than TDK even for a short time. It's rather pathetic and hilarious how hard these particular fans try so hard to degrade the new movies as if their precious TDK was perfect. There I said it! The Dark Knight is a flawed movie. Is it a 10/10 movie? For me,yes. I can overlook the flaws because I can overlook those flaws bit that doesn't mean they aren't there.
Let's take a look:
The story is convoluted with many cases of ' plot convenience'. The story goes out of its way to be in favour of Joker and his schemes so many times and it's apparent from the very beginning. Nobody absolutely noticed Joker's school bus.
Joker can easily enter the building in which a meeting between the most dangerous mob bosses of Gotham is held which means he can pass their security team. How conveniently incompetent the guards are. How did these fools take control of Gotham in the first place?
Joker can easily enter an important building,bringing a corpse of an adult male with him and hang him there. Nobody noticed.
Joker can easily get close to the mayor of Gotham in a public event despite his gruesome scars.
Joker's henchmen are more organized and more precise than the entire police force and mob bosses combined.
The plot is heavily in his favour. And it's contrived.
Joker's insane capability makes the ending of the movie odd and quite frankly,stupid. Batman decides it's better if he takes the blame for Dent's death. Because it's so hard to put the blame on Joker,right? Yes,Joker was apprehended at the time but come on,you easily could have put the blame on his henchmen. This guy blew up a Judge,poisoned the police commisicommissioner at the same time! Nobody would have questioned it if the blame of Dent's death had been put on him. It actually would have made sense since it would have made Dent am even bigger martyr. But I guess that wouldn't have been melodramatic enough?
Then there is the creepy romance between Christian Bale and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Are we supposed to believe these two were childhood sweetheart? Gyllenhaal looks so much older than Bale. The whole thing comes off as creepy and forced.
Also,Mr.Bale's Batman voice sounds too stupid and almost ruins the atmosphere of the movie. HISHE best describes it a the sound of someone who is gargling marbles.
This review was written for all the pretentious,insecure,overprotective fanatics of The Dark Knight who who like to keep telling themselves that other movie can't be better than muh TDK! The Dark Knight is great but it's not perfect.
