As far as the technical side of the film goes -

Continuity: Right before Sonny collapses his jacket is covered over and over with blood. When he is shot at while he is lying on the ground the amount of blood has gone down substantially.

Continuity: In the scene where McCluskey breaks Michael's jaw the two cops who hold Michael by his arms get replaced by two others between shots.

Continuity: When Clemenza knocks at the door Sonny gets a gun from a drawer and puts it in his belt. When he pushes Clemenza the gun disappears, but it's back a moment later. As the shot where the gun disappears is uncut the gun must have slipped down his pants.

Continuity: When they're all deciding whether to wait until the Don is better before making a deal, the cigar box is closed. The camera cuts away for a second, then back and Sonny closes the miraculously open box. He can't have opened it while the camera was elsewhere, because opening it would have taken the lid right past the camera.

Revealing: When Sollozzo picks up Tom Hagen after killing Luca Brasi, you can easily tell that the snow falling is made of thin plastic.

I've had someone tell me it wasn't a masterpiece. I disagree. It was amazing. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that he watched a bootleg copy.
 
One of the MANY places where Joker shows how ****ing sick he is, is at the very end where batman throws him off of the building, and Joker leaps to his death LAUGHING HYSTERICAL on the way down!!!... He's so happy that he got Batman to break his one rule! But those who laugh last laughs best! Batman graps him with his grabling gun and the Joker just hangs there like a worm on a hook!!!!! great ****ing scene!!

'TDK' was never met to be seen on someone's camera/cell-phone/whatever, it was met to be seen by your own two eyes. That's the only way to truly experience 'The Dark Knight', movies this great don't deserve to be seen on camera, period.
 
ANYONE watching this on a bootleg is an idiot. There is simply no argument. Maybe people who don't really care about Batman who have heard that its good - fair enough, but to be a big enough fan to be on here and watch a bootleg when your going to see it anyway is ridiculous!! I dont get why you'd do that, its like being two days away from losing your virginity to Rose McGowan and instead you decide to stick one in a hunchback, toothless, beetus ravaged call girl just cus you couldnt wait to have sex...................boy im in a mood! Still havent seen this thing -
CMON FRIDAY DAMN YOU!
 
I just dont understand! If you care about this film and have waited three years for it.........why? why? why?.... anyways 95%!! impessive, most impressive.

That was exactly "why" I didn't like the movie. What kind of sense does it make to save a lunitics life who has killed hundreds of innocent people? Isn't that why Bruce Wayne put the mask on in the 1st place? So others would not have to indure the same loss he felt with his parents. In Batman Returns Batman broke his rule with Ra's al Ghul. He let Ra's die because he finally "did what was necessary" (what Ra's his teacher taught him). In this movie he refused to kill the Joker twice. The 1st time I understood because he didn't know how crazy the Joker was. But when he broke out of Jail and killed Bruce Wayne's Childhood Girlfriend and turned Harvey Dent. Given the opportunity Batman saved the Joker again......No!!!!!!!!! That's where the movie became uncool for me.


If the Joker were just robbing banks (maybe killed a guard here or there) that would be different. But the Joker killed innocents hundreds of them and attempted to kill more.

The boyscout act got old real quick.

It's meant to be seen in at least a theater, because nearly 30 minutes of the film was shot in IMAX. You owe to yourself to at least see how awesome that is at least on some kind of big screen.

At least he has no qualms about breaking a few bones. :cwink:

I can see Batman's rationale for it, though. He comes SO CLOSE to killing people sometimes, that he needs to set a definite line for himself. He will not do anything with the intent that it will directly causes someone's death. If he crosses that line even once, he could be tempted to cross it again, and again, and again.

But I'm an idealist. I don't believe in the death penalty - I don't believe we have a right to decide whether someone lives or dies.

I think you missed the point about what he stands for.

He never killed Ra's either. Ra's was on a monorail that was about to crash. Batman didn't tie him up or anything. He just left him to save himself.

THe joker didn't fall off the building. Batman pushed him off which is why it was different. He had to save him or how is he different from the Joker.
