It's a great movie... but a masterpiece???

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2016)

I personally feel this movie is EXTREMELY overrated for two reasons;
#1 Ledger's tragic death at such a young age
#2 And the cult, comic loving fan-base on top of Ledger's death
It's not a masterpiece, looking back on it. Batman takes the blame for Twoface's crimes so people can remember Harvey Dent as he was, a hero... And Batman isn't a hero, he's just whatever Gotham needs him to be??? If you're whatever Gotham needs you to be, BE THE HERO GOTHAM JUST LOST AND BLAME THE CRIMES ON THE JOKER, NOT YOURSELF! Shoot, people would believe that story more, anyway. The iconic scene where The Joker blows up the hospital. Remember that? It was awesome... But wait. How did The Joker manage to put explosives throughout the entire hospital building and have no one notice him or his henchmen in a very public and constantly populated area? I don't know, you tell me. And why wasn't Harvey Dent more heavily guarded? The Joker was able to gain access to him, no problem. And why would the most wanted man by the joker just be put on the bus with all of the other patients? That just puts all the other patients at risk. And don't get me started on the party the Joker crashed to find Harvey Dent. There's so many holes. I guess the real reason I'm angry is the fact that this is on the top-ten, heavily rated list and definitely it's no Schindler's List. It's a superhero movie. The Joker was the best part, and instead of seeing more of what I wanted, I just got 5 or 6 scenes of Twoface talking about chance and how it's fair and him killing people to help him feel better. He was a weak character and you got him just as much as you got The Joker, the strongest character in the film. That is VERY inconsistent... but whatever, let's just ignore it like we've ignored everything else. IT'S AN AMAZING FILM, but it's overrated.
