The Dark Knight


A befitting title to a DARK GRIM movie. Way too long, too dark, too grim. Lots of gory details. i didn't like it. Had caught Batman Begins on tv recently, which fueled my interest to watch this film. And of course all the hype around it. The show is too long for its own good. i had to made myself sit through all 153 minutes of it. To give credit, the Joker really made my hair stand. But he is bored down by the super draggy plot. And i was getting a little uncomfortable with all the gruesome scenes onscreen. Perhaps the best thing that came out of the film is the revelation of the good side of the human race in the dilemma between mortality and morality. Movies are a form of escapism from life. Give me a feel-good cartoon or romance comedy any time!
