My girlness over Christian Bale couldn't even let me overlook it, but maybe that's just a character flaw with Bruce Wayne - he talks like a kid playing dress-up. Also, yeah - no burn victim would look like Two-Face, let alone be taking shots of alcohol... but it's a movie based off a comic-book. If we can't blur the lines of reality a little here, where can we? I loved Harvey Dent, I believed in Harvey Dent, and although his makeup was a bit to the extreme limits of my imagination, I was too occupied with staring at the inside of his jawbone to notice. Think of all the good this movie had: - So many twisted moments! I know this mostly ties in with the Joker, but the twistendness of the movie - the pencil trick, the helicopter cable trap, the 'not high enough to kill me' mafia drop, the cell-phone surgery (need I go on?)... this movie made me cringe time and time again, even after seeing the movie again (and again). Not a lot of movies do that. - The plot was solid - Batman's not a glamorous hero, I liked the comparisons of the Roman guards and how protecting the people was a service, how sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the good of the whole. - Joker, joker, joker. Everything he did was brilliant. C'mon, the nurses outfit with the explosions? All while he's just cold and calculated, shooting random people point-blank, for no reason other than it's apparently fun to him. I really want to know how he got those scars. This could go on for another post and a half, but I think you get my drift. It's all relative, really, but I have yet to see a better movie this year. Ok, I know the voice thing sucked.
