Subject: RE: BS: The Dark Knight
Well, it's a matter of individual taste, obviously.

I've seen other movies that I loved which got 1/10 of the attention from the critics that this one is getting...and I've bought a copy of them to keep. I wouldn't even bother renting "The Dark Knight" again for two bucks. Not that I hated it. I didn't. It was more or less okay. I just remember walking out of the theatre and thinking..."I'm already forgetting that movie..." This happens when I can't emotionally identify with anything or anyone in a film. I have to be strongly emotionally moved to say I really liked a movie...or I have to find it pretty funny....or quite entertaining...or something like that.

In this case...well...nope.

How in the world did the Joker manage to fill at least one major hospital and two city ferries with enough bombs to completely destroy both of them? How do you do that...and no one notices you doing it????????????? And no one stops you? And no one calls the police or the bomb disposal squad? And you get away with it? Riiiiiiiiight....

Yeah, I know, it's just a comic book story. It's a fantasy. But, really, did the guy have magical powers or something? He would have had to, to be able to set up things like that. He would have to just snap his fingers and "POOF!"...hundreds of bombs are set, wired, and detonators placed in any desirable location in the city, ready to go at the touch of a switch held in his hand.

Man, I bet Osama Bin Laden wishes he could do stuff like that. ;-)
