I went to watch 2 superhero movies back to back last night, Batman (The Dark Knight and Hellboy 2).
We watched Hellboy first, and thought it was pretty entertaining, nothing too complicated, just simple storyline that keeps the spirits high after watching the movie. Then we watched The Dark Knight, and it is kinda depressing.
Almost the entire movie is based on the dark scenes so you have to really concentrate to know what is going on. And there is just too much of fighting, and irritating that the Joker is always gaining the upper hand. Makes Batman look really bad and weak. Then there is Harvey Dent, the supposedly "White Light of Gotham" who turned into "Two Faced" eventually. The message sent across is really wrong because it's saying that the bad will always win, and the good superheroes have to make sacrifices, and they cannot have loved ones and families.
I don't think people will walk out of the cinema feeling "happy". I didn't, neither did my companion. So tell me did you enjoy the movie? And if you watched both The Dark Knight and Hellboy, let me know which one you prefer.

I completely agree. Hellboy 2 made me happy. During Dark Knight I was marveling at Ledger's performance, but by the end I just felt drained.
I am glad someone agrees with me..
I found the plot completely skewed towards the Joker. How can one person cause so much of chaos to Gotham City? Who allowed him to continue to commit crimes?
If Batman or the police took actions to get rid of the Joker, wouldn't they save many more lives? So why does Batman keep the principle that puts Gotham City at stake, instead of making the wise decision?
