Dark as night and nearly as long the new Batman movie rolls out with a relentless tempo. The Dark Knight is a confusing assault on the senses . . . the only relief is provided by Heath Ledger’s unforgettable, almost unbelievable, performance. The Joker is not a bit part — he is on screen almost as much as Batman — and I kept thinking: “this is the same guy who was in ‘Brokeback Mountain?’” The Dark Knight tries to be not just an entertaining comic book film, but a thrilling crime saga. But I challenge you to lay out the premise in three sentences. The narrative fails. [ RT ]
