Dark Blight

When I first watched the Dark Knight, I kind of agreed that it was a good movie. Better than most of the Juno/21/most of the crap that's been coming out off late. But when Dark Knight hit #1 in IMDB, over Godfather, I couldn't believe. Surely, the movie isn't THAT good.
Ofcourse it isn't. I guess people of this time have been afflicted with stupidity syndrome. It's true. If you think about it, there has been no major technological/scientific breakthrough the last decade. Not as many as the 30s or the 60s or before. Our generation is a big bunch of dumbees.
Anyway, back to Dark Knight. What do people think that made it so amazing? The story?
Here's what pisses me off now that I go back and think about it.

How many ever chances the DK gets to kill the Joker, he doesn't. Instead he allows the joker to kill others. Wow DK. Amazing sense of justice you have. Save a life to kill others. Amazing. Best not to get your hands dirty eh?

Batman falls off the building some 20 times from 20 floors. And literally walks away. Two face, a minor pain in the butt btw, falls 2 floors and dies!! What the hell. Poor two face. And whatever happens to the Joker at the end of the story?

DKs voice...That is the biggest joke ever. It's utterly ridiculous.

Cell phone sonar? Have you lost your mind? I'm sure the story writers are a bunch of morons with no education. These are the kind of people who make hacker movies in which hackers press a button to hack a giant ultra secure military database. Fools.

Just because an actor dies doesn't mean you have to watch the movie and praise it to be best the world has ever seen. Oh wait. This reminds me of the Rajkumar situation. Oh wait. It can develop into a business strategy. Kill off an actor after the movie and be sure your movie grand success.

Okay, got to agree the Joker was good. He was way more interesting than Batman. They should have named the movie Joker. Morons.

Oh and the thing about the two boats. A big murderer actually THROWS out the switch. That's plain stupid. The Milgram Experiment(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment) proves that chances are people blow each other up.

Anyway, it was a good movie. But it's plain insulting to life as we know it to call it the best movie ever.

Yeah. Sucks that its number one and all. It will eventually fall at top 10 somewhere though. LOTR 3 also started at #1 and fell down to 8 or something. And yeah it should have been named Batman and Joker.

dont judge the practicalities of a superhero movie like a sensibility watchdog of sorts. Its more of a feel good thing.

Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!

This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)
