Now as for some of those critics comparing this to the Godfather those critics need to have their heads examined by numerous professionals.
Ditto!
Have you seen it? If you have not, you really need to shut the fuck up.
As a fan of Batman for my entire life, no material has ever delivered on the character quite like this and thus clicked on every level for me. For me, it's definitely on the level of "that" gangster picture in it's majesty and grand scale. Emotionally, it's as charged for me as "that" gangster picture and I'm putting on the level. K? That cool with you?
I think it's pretty silly fighting like this over a movie. For goodness sakes, it's not that serious.
That being said, I loved the movie, and will buy it in the future. Heath Ledger was awesome. So was Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, etc. I too don't wanna analyze it to death. It is just a reaally good movie. (In my opinion. )
