What do you think of robert downey jr's comments on "the Dark Knight"?
"My whole thing is that I saw 'The Dark Knight'. I feel like I'm dumb because I feel like I don't get how many things that are so smart. It's like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and script writing and I'm like, 'That's not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.' I loved 'The Prestige' but didn't understand 'The Dark Knight'. Didn't get it, still can't tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and in the end they need him to be a bad guy. I'm like, 'I get it. This is so high brow and so [expletive] smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.' You know what? [Expletive] DC comics. That's all I have to say and that's where I'm really coming from."
I didn't think he actually said that when i read it, he seems to be a pretty bright guy and the movie really wasn't that cerebral, unlike say Minority Report, Memento, or Mulholland Drive.
I don't trust interviews from the site where the quotes you used came from. The only interviews I trust are transcripts of of taped interviews which include both questions and answers. I suspect he did say the quotes, but I would like to know what prompted him to say them and what else he said. Downey is a comics fan, and has been one since he was a young teenager, so if he was acted what he thought of what director Chris Nolan had done with Batman and characters from various Batman comics, I can see why Downey would say very vitrolic things about the way Batman, the Joker, the Scarecrow, Ras Al Ghul, and various other characters had been reinvented in "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight." I myself hated "Batman Begins" so much that I elected not to see "The Dark Knight" and, as a comic book fan, I'm glad I made that decision. I note that the section you quoted comments only on the script and the direction, not the acting. Remarks taken out of context can be misleading, and I wouldn't be amazed if Downey's comments make sense in the full interview, but the full interview wasn't published.
In the long run, I don't think it really matters what Downey thought of "The Dark Knight" or why. His comments won't effect the way the movie is being regarded by its sizeable audience, nor will it likely effect Downey's career which is going quite well. Downey, like everyone else, is entitled to his opinions. Three weeks from now, I doubt many of the "Dark Knight" fans who claim to be outraged will even remember the truncated interview.
