There were kitchy scenes (I don't want to spoil anything), especially towards the end of the movie, which could have been spared to keep the movie's dark feel.What do you mean by kitchy scenes?
I don't automatically vote against long movies, not at all. I thought the last Pirates of the Caribbean was long, but it was pretty good. The length did not hurt the quality of the movie, in this case (though, it had other drawbacks, but this is not the venue to discuss it).Also, I disagree with people who think that movies are too long.
I don't. I personally find that this movie could have been a lot better had the producers decided to make it shorter, simply because the dark feel of the movie and the message it tries to convey both are very powerful and need to be properly delivered by a good ending. Perhaps I was a little too harsh on the length, and maybe the ending is to blame. The ending actually dragged on for a long time and I'm not sure it was the right thing to do. I feel that in this case, the producers of the movie have decided to make it long so that it gives 'good value for money', or such. I don't pay for the minutes in the movie, I pay for the content.Maybe if the problem is that it drags on then that could be an issue. However, people make claims that movies are too long based solely on the actual length of the movie.
This was just an issue I've been thinking of today, and I think you're wrong here. Whether or not The Godfather is a #1 IMDB Top 250 movie is indeed open to discussion, but you do agree with me that these two movies don't share a lot of qualities. Not even in the setting and the plot, but rather in the making of the movie, the details and the thoughts that the movie provokes. It's simply not the same, and thus doesn't equal to The Godfather. Whether or not it ranks up to it, is a different matter.Also, whether or not this movie can compare to movies like the Godfather is a personal opinion
It earned most of the score by its qualities, however some of the score was defiantly caused by the hype. Plus, the fact that this is Heath Ledger's 'last movie', if we put it like that - also contributed to the hype.However, I feel that overall this movie earned its score by the masses.
Neither do I, I am not too sensitive to good and bad acting. However, I can detect when the actor is suitable for the role and generally does it well - this movie had the roles tailored to the actors.I for one do not really get into the whole actor/actress thing.
That is a different matter, however, The Godfather was on the top spot(s) on IMDB ever since its launch I think. Styles do not change so radically and suddenly.It is unfair to compare movies of different ages, since styles are always changing, graphics are always changing, and everything else too.
That is true. The joker made most of the movie, actually, and the fact that he has been given an actual depth (along with closeup scenes, his movements and his changing thoughts) contributed to the movie's dark feel, so that he's not just yet another baddie.My point is that even during less meaningfull incedents, the joker always seemed to display a perfect emotion for the part.
