Movie Review: The Dark Knight Risies
Aug. 19th, 2012 08:17 pmJust been to see this movie and I can't say that I enjoyed it much. A number of times, I found myself thinking "Everybody stop talking and just DO something - anything!"
Even though the opening was stunning (but what was the point of the blood transfusion thing - false DNA evidence for the crash investigators, perhaps?), far too much of the film was spent with various characters telling us either why they did what they just did or explaining what they were about to do. Just get on with it and then we'll draw our own conclusions -and if you can't do that from what is on the screen, you haven't made a very good movie. In addition, get an editor - this movie could have lost half an hour at least with no loss of story line.
Closing scenes were nice - got to love the ambiguity there.
In short, too much talk, not enough crash!
