Me too. First time I saw it, I thought, "This is legitimately the worst film I've ever seen."
Second time I saw it, I thought it had some cool moments, but it was still fucking absurd, poorly acted, gratuitously gross, pornographic, dim-witted (especially in comparison to the
brillaint book) and fucking corny and stupid as fuck.
Get it away from Dark Knight on your movie lists. Get thee behind me, Watchmen!
Dark Knight isn't even a comic book movie. Not in the genre sense of the word. Like Road to Perdition and A History of Violence, it's just a great movie that happens to be based on characters from comic books. It fits in better alongside The Godfather, Heat, There Will be Blood, And No Country (as contemporaries) than it does next to frigging Watchmen. Blech. Blaacchh!
