About this movie

Christian Bale and director Christopher Nolan reunite following their blockbuster success with Batman Begins! This time, Heath Ledger joins the cast as The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart stars as Harvey Dent in an all-new adventure of The Dark Knight. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and new district attorney Harvey Dent (Eckhart--Thank You for Smoking), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham City forever. The three enjoy early success, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (Ledger--Brokeback Mountain), who throws Gotham into anarchy and forces Batman ever closer to crossing the line between hero and vigilante.

i'm sorry but this has been so laggy and keeps freezing up. I've watched 20 or more movies on google play and even one just minutes before this and the quality on this 1 is completely awful. After 15 minutes it has already lagged for 30 seconds or more or completely frozen 6 different times. I would not rent this is I was anyone...you're going to end up getting frustrated with this horrific quality.

Dramatization was given center-stage over logic. Joker was a psychological menace, most of his plans involved blowing up stuff. It came to a point where the Joker just seemed like another thug. Transition for two-face was rushed. Dent was a respectable and intelligent man, to be convinced by the Joker that he wasn’t the one to blame for Rachel, but rather that Batman and Gordon were to blame was the last straw in a huge string of holes. But you sheep should just go about with the hype.

This movie is trash. All the way from the beginning. Plot was confusing and stupid. Director made wrong decisions left and right. Honestly, "The Room" was written/performed/directed better than this garbage bag of a movie. I would rather rub used toilet paper on my eyes than force my eyes to see this shite again. One time I was pepper sprayed by my abusive father and it was more visually pleasing than this My name is Joshua Allan Freese the 1st and I stand by my statements. Dont @ me.
