The film is now structured backwards and forwards, so that Harvey's past and future appear to be interconnected from both ends, directly affecting his present. This is THE DARK KNIGHT and a simple trim job as mentioned in the "Cut/Added" would not suffice.Īnd since this is Christopher Nolan, I decide that for a NEW ride and to address the Two-Face issue I would completely eschew the linear storytelling and replace it with Nolan's own style from MEMENTO. Neither Batman nor the Joker are changed by the end of the movie to the extent that Harvey is transformed. But THE DARK KNIGHT is really Harvey's movie. Often the comment is that Harvey's story should have been saved for another movie, mainly because by the time it is revealed the audience is exhausted. My attention went also to Harvey Dent whose story doesn't get rolling until well into Act 3. The same with the Armoured truck chase scene. Specially the one in the building with the Doctors and Hostages and Sonar and Lucious Fox. The action sequences are a tad incoherent. It's a long movie anyway, but after that midpoint, it just begins to feel relentless and a little tedious. Initially, the story unwinds with poise keeping up with the "A" elements, however, at about midway, new plots are introduced diluting some otherwise well-earned momentum. Concept: With a Rotten Tomatoes meter of 95% freshness no question THE DARK KNIGHT is the best Batman movie ever, the best superhero movie ever and the best movie of 2008.īut there are some opportunities for a fanedit.
