English-Speaking Film LoversコミュのThe Dark Knight

Super hero movies aren't rocket science and The Dark Knight
ticks all the boxes that are expected of these types of movies.
It's occasionally annoying, but for the most part an entertaining
movie that tries to touch on some issues that are begging to
be explored (e.g. ideas of vigilanteism).
I suspect that if it wasn't for Heath Ledger's performance and
subsequent death, it would probably do a decent box office and
then make it's money in DVD sales. But Heath Ledger is brilliant
(and I'm not really a fan). He's like a car crash, when he's on screen
you can't take your eyes off him. If he doesn't get an academy
award for this there is something seriously wrong.
The movie gets 2 stars (out of 5), and I'll give another 2 stars
just for Heath Ledger.
Christian Bale doesn't look happy but why would he, looking
the super hero can't compete with a clown who can do magic
tricks with a pencil.

What I really find annoying is that movies are getting too long.
It's getting pathetic. The editing suite is becoming the laziest
part of a film production. Editors, do your job! snip snip snip.
It's OK to cut the boring bits out. I know the Lord of the Rings
fans are all very grateful that you made a halfway decent 90
minute film into a 4 hour snore fest, but Lord of the Rings fans
are freaks. Most people want you to do your job.
