Maybe you don't like long movies?

If by boring you mean 2 1/2 hours of non-stop intelligent action with a well thought out story, this movie was like watching grass grow...

Monday Movie Buzz: Bale's Batman voice too much?
Sunday August 3 1:44 PM ET

Though "The Dark Knight" has been a bona fide cultural event, boasting rave reviews and boffo box office, it hasn't been immune to criticism. Some have quibbled with its political undercurrents, and others have criticized a muddled theme.

But here's the critique most widely held: Why does Batman talk like the offspring of Clint Eastwood and a grizzly bear?

Donning the costume for the second time, Christian Bale has delved deeper into the lower registers. As Bruce Wayne, his voice is as smooth as his finely pressed suits. But once he puts the cape on, the transformation of his vocal chords is just as dramatic as his costume change.

Particularly when his rage boils over, Bale's Batman growls in an almost beastly fashion, reflecting how close he teeters between do-gooder and vengeance-crazed crusader.

.....

the rest...

The only time the voice really bothered me was towards the end when Batman told Joker that the city is "full of people ready to believe in good." "Believe" and "good" really clashed with the voice.

I know what you mean, especially after the fact that it's obvious the Joker feels no fear.

He can't be intimidated...

Bad film. And its worse crime was that it was incredibly BORING.

I don't ever remember you being so reactionary.

I think it was one of the least-boring films I've ever seen. In fact, I can't think of a single boring moment.

One man's entertainment is another man's yawn.

Derek · 08.05.2008, 04:28 AM

For me, it was a mixture of "hey cool" and "yawwwwn"
