The closest movie theater (45 miles away) ran TDK this weekend.
I took my son to see this movie when he was 10 back in 2008. He took me to see it today! 5 bucks a ticket in the RSVP theater.
It was awesome seeing TDK on the big screen again!
Too bad
TDK is Fake hypocritical moralizing.
This is a movie that tries to have its cake and eat it too. It is cynical, depressing and ugly throughout, showing everything ugly about society and human nature.
The Joker is effectively presented as the moral center of the movie, the only person who not only stays true to his morals throughout, but he never questions or even wavers from them.
Batman is weak and indecisive throughout, letting people die on his watch regularly, agonizing over every decision, even trying to steal a woman he loves from her fiance while claiming to admire said fiance.
Harvey Dent, after being shown to be such a beacon of strength, immediately becomes a psychotic mass murderer and attempted child killer after his fiancee dies and he gets burned.
The whole movie is dedicated to proving the Joker right about everyone else and showing that only he had anything resembling a consistent moral code. But wait! There are two boats that don’t blow each other up (barely). So obviously people are not so bad, right? Oh, and Batman doesn’t kill. So that makes Batman morally superior to the Joker and also proves the Joker wrong again. Yay. Except Batman kills Two-Face about five minutes later with no problem!! What’s the point of putting so much value into the fact that Batman won’t kill, presenting his inability to kill the Joker (and going so far as to save him) as a moral victory over the Joker ONLY TO HAVE HIM KILL ANOTHER CHARACTER FIVE MINUTES LATER.
And if killing is okay after all, then why does the Joker not deserve it more than Harvey? kill, presenting his inability to kill the Joker (and going so far as to save him) as a moral victory over the Joker ONLY TO HAVE HIM KILL ANOTHER CHARACTER FIVE MINUTES LATER. And if killing is okay after all, then why does the Joker not deserve it more than Harvey?
Guess you didn't care for it.
shareHahahhhhaa
It's a movie, not a religion.
Grow better.
Someone should help you off that ledge.
shareThat sounds like a really great experience, sharing that with your son.
I'd have thought this movie would be too intense for most 10-year-olds. I'm not judging or anything, I'm more just considering that this is a "hard PG-13" and really earns its rating with a lot of stuff like Two-Face's appearance and so forth.
