1. The Dark Knight
I know that I am liable to receive threats for what I am about to write, but sometimes it is important to just say how you feel. You may even say this is not a sci-fi film, but for the purposes of this list it is because I need to get this off my chest. So forgive me, internet, for what I am about to type: I didnt like or enjoy The Dark Knight. Why? It is over wrought and way too serious. Its sombre tone tipped over into grumpiness for me. Heath Ledgers (a sharp intake of breath is heard around internet land in dreadful anticipation that a criticism of Heath Ledgers Joker is forthcoming) performance as The Joker is astonishing but, nonetheless, it is still highly derivative of Jack Nicholsons take on the role. Uncle Jacks performance still holds up today; it is scene stealing, often hilarious, unhinged and terrifying. Dark Knight is a series of boring scenes, linked together by Heath Ledgers star turn. One of the most overrated movies of recent times and one of the worst sci-fi sequels ever. Sorry, its just the way I feel.
