As a lover of films, a lot of the boring things I blog about will probably be movies. I am also an avid traveller so expect a lot of boring places and attractions as well.

But this post is all about the movie The Dark Knight, starring the now deceased Heath Ledger and directed by Christopher Nolan. The most important thing to note about this movie is that it is terribly boring. I only made it about half way through before giving up, but that’s all it deserved. Surely there was just more boredom to come? It was late at night when I watched it and I was tired but that’s no excuse. If it was a rivetting film I would have stayed up and watched it all the way to the end. But it wasn’t. It was dull and disappointing. It was a series of mildly entertaining action sequences strung together by lots of long boring bits. The plot didn’t interest me. The acting didn’t excite me. It was a bloated, boring, self important comic book movie that should have been a whole lot more entertaining, but wasn’t. Even the actors looked bored. It probably bored poor Heath Ledger to death. He certainly didn’t deserve to win an Academy Award – alive or dead.

In fact, The Dark Knight was so boring that it motivated me to register this domain name and start a blog about all things boring. The only other movie I have seen recently that is just as boring was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. However, I won’t go into that now as it’s probably going to be the subject of another blog entry.

Unless you’re a huge Batman fan, I implore you to avoid The Dark Knight. It’s a boring movie that doesn’t deserve to be seen. How it made a billion dollars worldwide at the box office absolutely confounds me. All I can put it down to is clever marketing and a lot of people wanting to see Heath Ledger’s final film.

Very disappointing.
