They're definitely getting more annoying.

Not that I'm saying the rest of the movie is bad but it's Heath Ledger's performace that made this movie. The rest is just filler IMO.
The rest is filler=masterpiece

Wow, you're really witty aren't you with your insults? At least I'm making a point. When I talk about the filler parts I'm not saying they're bad. I'm saying that they come secondary to The Joker, to Heath's performance. TDK is all about The Joker and his reign of terror on Gotham.

You see that's it, TDK wasn't even about Batman. He's not that important in this movie. I'm sure Nolan thinks the same. It's the first time a Batman movie doesn't have 'Batman' in the title. Batman wasn't a main character in this movie, he was part of an ensemble of which The Joker stole the show. Even Two Face had a bigger role than Batman :lol:

I only watch the scenes with Batman and Joker,all those dicussions are boring,the discussions in BB where way more intresting,because they warent uber-realistic it's sometimes almost like the you watch a documentary about Terrorism.

Not even the most boring scenes? I know I tend to skip quite a lot from Nolan's weakest movies Insomnia and Batman Begins. With Batman Begins I tend to skip the first hour of that movie, it is quite slow and tedious. Insomnia was a 'meh' movie, I don't usually skip scenes here. More that I don't watch this as much as the other of Nolan's movies. In fact I've only ever seen it once.
Wait wait wait.......BB isnt boring.But opinion excepted :lol:

BTW:I've never seen a thread with guts like this on NF.

How can anyone skip bits of such a great movie? I could understand if you were just analyzing certain scenes but skipping makes no sense at all.

NEVER. I've seen TDK 22 times and if I'm not completely ready, I turn it off.

It's disgraceful to skip parts of such an amazing film.
