It was alright up until the 2/3rd mark then it just turned into a sausage fest.
The oil drum scene was just fucking gay ('only one of your friends will live, who's it gonna be?')
Harvey had 'gullible' written all over him after a 2 minute scene with the joker turned him evil. Plus all that shit with the coin:
'THE ONLY MORALITY IS CHANCE!'
And where the fuck did his nickname '2 face' come from anyway?
Morgan Freeman gives me the shits. He always has to play some 'wise old black guy' role, you know exactly what his character is going to be before the movie even starts.
The only decent character was the Joker. You might even say Heath Ledger will take that role to his grave.
Oil drum scene was gay because...CAUSE IT JUST IS!!!
Nice justification. You obviously missed the point of Batman breaking his one rule and the killing joke behind it. Batman does not kill, this is his character's hamrtia and his defining characteristic. He lives by this code no matter what, Joker wanted to show him that 'The only sensible way to live life is without rules', so by getting Batman to choose only ONE ally to live, he inadvertedly kills another and by switching the address the Joker plays his killing joke by having Batman have to live with the realization that he was going to kill Harvey for Rachel. And it also has nice symbolocial meaning behind - the two options represents the themes of duality, represents the Batman moral code ( HArvey) and Bruce Waynes personal life (Rachel) etc etc i could go on, but you'd probably consider Transformers = the best move of the year.
And plus, Joker didn't turn him evil. Again you miss the point, maybe there wasn't enough CGI robots for you? Joker was there to push Harvey across teh edge, the man just lost half his face and his 'fiancee'. Of course his vulnerable, not only that, his consumed by rage. He knows the policemen and the allies around him are corrupt and the very people he banded with to save Gotham with betrayed him. Who wouldn't bloody pissed off? Joker just showed him how unfair the system is and how everyone was against him. Two face was an anti-hero, a vigilante like Batman, but he took it to the next level. and all that shit with the coin?
Obviously not understanding the trademark of the character, unable to decide, unwilling to yield to subjective perceptions and descisions, leaving it all to unbiased chance. This is who Two-Face is. He is justice with a twist, he doesn't decide who dies or lives based on his memories or feelings, only the coin. Another case of missing the point or just having the attention span of a five year old. Oh and the name comes from the *ahem* original source material? The comics? You know, the thing Batman is based on. And if your looking at a TDK context, then it was what the MCU called him when Harvey was in Internal Affairs investigating Wuertz and Ramiurez ( it's a marvel what paying attention can do to you).
And as for arguing Morgan, 'wise old black guy' - flawed logic, obviously only seen his post-Wanted movies so far
And it's silly, Freeman has his own comfortable acting range, and so do most actors who aren't into 'the method'. Take Jack Nicholson for example, teh same kinda logic can be applied to him but it doesn't take away his acting merit.
