Last Film You Watched

There's a whole mid section in TDK that, if you think about it for even a second, makes absolutely no sense at all. Not to dwell on it too much, but the Joker's plan about kidnapping the two girls, getting arrested by Commissioner Gordon who he thought was dead, timing another guy to get arrested and blowing up the police station etc. Etc.

It's a series of some impressive setpieces glued tentatively together by a fantastic performance from Ledger, but the film itself is a plothole riddled mess that exemplifies everything that generally goes wrong in a Nolan film. Impossibly convoluted plans, badly written women characters and plot devices that are shoehorned in to justify whatever scene the Nolan brothers dreamed up over a pint

It's still decent, but Begins is a far superior film imo, because it is a fair bit less Nolan-y

The bit with the two boats is also ridiculous.

I don’t think Nolan knows how to write genuine dialogue between two characters so uses these set pieces as an emotional vehicle which sometimes makes no sense.
