Yes, this movie is exceptionally well-made. Yes, Christian Bale is amazing (and hot). Yes, the special effects were pretty darn special. But need this movie be so disturbing?
There are a few too many things in this movie that gave me a sick feeling in my stomach. Not only what the joker does, but what he says. Not only the violence that is shown, but what isn't shown.
I mean, a cell phone bomb in a guy's stomach? That is really disgusting. Burning gasoline on a guy's face? Carving smile marks into victims' cheeks? This is not your typical feel-good superhero movie. A little much for me, really. And by the way, we love you Maggie, but we miss Katie.
Lise, do you really like Katie Holmes a lot or something?
ReplyDeleteWell, she is a lot prettier than Maggie. Don't you think?
ReplyDeleteNo. Katie's eyes are a little funny. Have you seen Mona Lisa Smile?
ReplyDeleteWell Maggie's cheeks sag. She looks old.
ReplyDeleteThe Dark Knight was the best movie I have seen this summer. Even though there were disturbing parts I think they all contributed to making it better. If you took those parts out, the movie would loose much of its intensity.
