[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Dark Knight?
Look, I wanted to love The Dark Knight. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in The Dark Knight is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought The Dark Knight was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Dark Knight?
Everyone praising the The Dark Knight performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
