   As perfect as a film gets you will only see a select few better then it. Nolan remains one of the best directors of all time ranking with scorcesse and a few others.… Expand

   Gotta go against the grain here. Great performances, including one that should get Heath Ledger nominated for a posthumous Oscar, but in the end, you have to ask what was the point? I initially thought they had to reconstruct and reedit after Ledger's death because that's the way the plot came out: jumbled and disjointed. It seemed to come close to making a point a few times, then just skittered away from it. OK, yes, it was striving to be something more than a superhero story, but it fell so far short of Batman Begins that it devolved into a paean to violence; in that flick, violence served to advance the plot while here it seemed to be inserted (liberally) for its own sake. While it was bloodless, you understood that the Joker was doing a fair amount of slashing off-screen, and there seemed no point in showing a fabricated genesis of Two-face when he lasts about 20 on-screen minutes before going the way of all flesh. My stomach is still in knots the way it was after, say, Aliens, but this was less of a roller-coaster ride and more of a cheap carnival funhouse trip. My one thought is that perhaps, like Peter Jackson's version of The Two Towers, it will all make a lot more sense once the DVD comes out if it has 40 minutes of deleted footage, but the film left me with such a bad taste in my mouth from the abysmal plotting and excessive violence that it's not something I plan to go out of my way to find out.… Expand

   All right, I wasn't going to say anything because this is the internet. But all the morons here saying this film is "art" or the closest movies will ever get to art- how dare you? How could you say something so ignorant when you haven't bothered to study anything about films? Try watching films by Ingmar Bergman like Winter Light. Watch films by Andrei Tarkovsky like Andrei Rublev and Mirror. Watch Ozu films like Late Spring and Floating Weeds. I don't care if you loved the movie or whatever- I personally thought the film was hollow, worthless, and nothing new. But don't you dare say this is the highest the art form has to offer- it's barely a step above the lowest.… Expand
