the Dark Knight

First off, the new Batman movie was baaaaad. Too long, lack of story, really bad writing- lots of silly expositions from different characters, bad sound in parts (mumbled lines, overpowering soundtrack music), and shitty editing.

Heath Ledger was amazing as the Joker, but even so, it seemed that someone took every single take that the guy was in, and made a rough cut out of them. For instance, his "why so serious" stories- two different stories, explaining how he got his face cut, that just made little or no sense- is one true and not the other? Is there some really gory story that's actually accurate? Or, did they take the best take from each scene, and he just happened to be telling different versions?

It was just kind of a mess.
