The Dark Knight

I held-out seeing this movie for quite some time. I have this thing about pop-culture movies that everyone swoons over. I just want to hate them or something. So, finally, I did see this… Ok, it was good. It was about as well-done as this movie could have been done. I’ve seen plenty of other better movies, but better similar movies? That’s a tough call. One thing I did like was the was the director delivered a sense of urgency. One thing I didn’t like was the way the joker was made to be just a little too super-human. I mean, I get it that he’s supposed to be a super villain and all, but let’s get real. There’s only so much one person can do, and how does he get all these people to follow him & help him out virtually flawlessly… when we know that most criminals (I’m talking about the underlings now) are really idiots… or they wouldn’t be criminals. So, in that regard, I guess the movie’s biggest shortcoming was that it tried to paint a picture of reality, but was just too much over the top.
