The Dark knight

The movie is too loud, too long, poorly directed and a waste of talent. It lacks coherence and development of theme or themes. The strength of a movie with strong actors is to balance the those roles; this movie fails to do so in favor of one of the actors at the expense of the film. The character of the Joker predominates and minimizes the role of Batman. Christian Bale is a strong actor whose role is reduced to a cipher. The decision to use a voice box when he speaks as Batman further minimizes his effectiveness. It was hard to understand what he was saying. It was difficult to understand much of what was happening as the movie went along. Themes were not developed fully nor was there a logical blending of those themes. In short a mish-mosh. Simply the footprint of a director who has lost control and cannot finish. The ending is beyond comprehension. The editing was tilted in favor of the Joker losing the tension between the characters and the strength of that performance and that of the visuals.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
