London, Aug 12 (IANS) Robert Downey Jr. claims that the new Batman movie “The Dark Knight” is too complicated and thinks others feel the same. The “Iron Man” star is uncertain about the movie’s plot.
Contactmusic.com reports him as saying: “I feel like I’m dumb because I feel like I don’t get many things that are so smart. ‘The Dark Knight’ is like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and scriptwriting and I’m like, ‘That’s not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.’
“I didn’t understand ‘The Dark Knight’… I 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 f**king smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.’”
