Over-hyped dark knight with discriminating undertones

Rating: 6/10 (20 July 2008)

I went into the dark knight with the hopes of seeing a great, fun summer film. All my hopes of it being great was crushed after the first 20 minutes. The movie was long and the fight scenes messy. The film story was supposedly based on Heat, but it did not even compare. The only positives i saw was that Heath Ledger was good as the joker and Aaron Eckhart was good as Two face. I was actually really disappointed with the story and character of Batman. This film had discriminating undertones and was almost racist. I was turned off by Christopher Nolan script he had written, the film was too dramatic and Batman so emo. The first Batman film was great, but this film had too much propaganda for the government and gave the wrong message to Batman fans.
