The thing i love the most is that they both agree that Maggie Gyllenhaal was bad, but for both different reasons. Skip was saying she was just a bad actress and not believable meanwhile Stephen A was just straight up calling her ugly. LMAO.
She's a good actress but Nolan is not good at writing female characters. The only actress that has been able to work through his writing has been Anne Hathaway.
@@Danbo22987 Why does everyone always say this? First of all, Nolan doesn’t write a lot of female characters in general. They are pretty much all side characters. His only female lead that I know of was Interstellar, and Jessica Chastain’s performance was one of the best parts of that movie. The love interests in The Prestige are very well done. And that’s most of the female characters Nolan has directed, other than Hathaway’s
@@randywhite3947 haha only boomers think of jack nicholson as the greatest. He's good, no doubt about that, but Heath Ledger squashed him like a bug with that performance.
wish skip had better reasoning but dark knight i agree is overrated..its a 6.5/10 at best..so many writing errors on an unoriginal story since its based on comics to even count...execution was meh and since it prided itself on being realistic it gets even more minuses for failing in that realm and omg the way people shout philosophy and talk in riddles at each other in this film bored me and is such poor page to screen planning..no one talks like that in real life..it feels like your teacher telling you ideals in a lecture rather than a movie..ledger did his best and i like the villain winning but in my head its a 5.5...in my heart its a 7.5...but objectively its a 6.5
Batman was the star. At the time of release people thought it was all about the joker due to the buzz of Heath ledgers performance. 11 years later it is very much a film about Batman’s choices and the consequences of his actions. Oh and it’s still the best superhero movie ever made by far ! No superhero movie has gone to these depths of thought. Logan was the closest.
@@DonnieCBearDown That’s cool. I respect peoples opinions but I’ve yet to hear genuine reasons why someone would think it’s overrated seeing as it’s a masterclass in every aspect of filmmaking. And I’m usually tough on comic book movies but I have to call out great storytelling when I see it.
The Batman went more in depth with how his brain works and understands his character better. TDK is a better movie but the Batman is a better Batman movie.
Only thing I agree with is that Aaron Eckhart deserved an Oscar nomination, he wouldn’t have won, but Oldman and Eckhart both should’ve been nominated for best supporting actor. The Godfather Part 2 got 3 supporting actor nominations and won, so why shouldn’t The Dark Knight?
I came here solely to hear Skip say that Maggie was *WEAK* the way he said it was just hilarious😭 and then Stephen just straight up shitting on how she looks😂
I think skip must’ve been entirely blind every time Heath Ledgers joker came on screen, but he ain’t wrong about Maggie. When Joker saw Rachael and said “well hello beautiful” I always couldn’t help but think that she isnt ugly but definitely not what they hyped her up to be in the movie
Now you’ll probably hear Skip talking about how The Dark Knight is one of the greatest movies ever, that he’s “never seen anything like it”. Contrarian through and through.
Man ! I gotta agree with the guy to the right I,m not gonna argue that ( The Dark Night ) is one of the best superhero movies but I think it has been largely overrated at the expence of the other Nolan films ( Batman Begins ) and ( The Dark night Rises )
Agreed. I rewatched the trilogy recently and found myself surprised by how underwhelming the Dark Knight's screenplay/plot actually is. The Dark Knight is fun of course and The Joker is great in every scene, but most of everything else is alright.
Skip is right on all points. Nicholson was the better Joker because he was actually FUNNY! Ledger took the humor out of the character. Eckhart gave the better, more nuanced performance. And Maggie was BAD! Not pretty enough to swing a guy like Bale, and she has no screen presence. You may not like it, but Skip is right here.
ive got this on my page and steven a's not racist, hes honest. The system is what it is, and he calls it on it. The movie was great but i missed the part where skip called steven a muffet baby. Do you have that?
say what you want about skip bayless but that fool is FUNNY as shit. like damn,, you dont need to know ANYTHING about sports and still watch first take and get a good laugh
They should have just canned Rachel and brought Haley in as Selena. The would have been a great catwomen with Nolan directing. Then brought Rachel in part 3 again with Katie Holmes. No need to bring in the fuglies. Bruce only dates 9’s or 10’s

I can't believe I'm gonna say this but Katie Holmes was my favorite Nolan trilogy woman.
She wasn't bad she was just okay. She was only there for the love triangle.

They violated Maggie Gyllenhaal 😂
I thought all they talk bout was sports till i came across a tik tok of skip violating her 😂😂😂
They were just speaking facts
They weren't wrong. She was the only bad thing about the movie. Katie Holmes was better in the role.
She don’t look good tho anyway
@@andrewthomas2859she do look tho
Imagine getting called ugly on national television 💀
💀 that shit would definitely not fly today lmao
I think Halle Berry is better looking but not Beyonce.

@Christian Stewart yes really especially when ledger was first announced
@Christian Stewart it was the same thing after the movie as well

Lmao Stephen A saying Maggie Gyllenhaal aint fine straight up. He aint sugar coat it all 😂
😂😂😂😂 imagine them saying this today they’d get fired
Blockaye brought me here

@@Zack_410 on a surface level yes. But I would say tdk trilogy understands his character/personality much better. Especially Batman begins.
Skip is the funniest man on earth 🤣 he the king of trolling
Only thing they ever agreed on was Maggie gylenhall being not attractive enough for batman
Eckhart and Ledger both deserved an Oscar nod haha...
We need a 3 hour pay per view event where Skip and Stephen A get back together for a debate gauntlet on everything.
This was peak television bring this back
Only thing I agree with is that Aaron Eckhart deserved an Oscar nomination, he wouldn’t have won, but Oldman and Eckhart both should’ve been nominated for best supporting actor. The Godfather Part 2 got 3 supporting actor nominations and won, so why shouldn’t The Dark Knight?
well the godfather 2 is a LOT better than tdk
one of the best movies ever made

SOMEBODY FINE! SHE WASNT IT YOU GOT ME THERE
Stephen A Smith>>>>>>Skip Bayless
Who here from blockaye 😭😭 Maggie done dirty 😭
💀💀
Me
I think this might be Skip's worst take of all time
Stephan A Smith said "Beyonce and Halle Berry" better rolls for this movie lol
Skip would think jack is better😭😭😩
They should drop sports and just debate movies
Underrated comment
Somebody fine she wasnt it🤣🤣🤣💀
I came here solely to hear Skip say that Maggie was *WEAK* the way he said it was just hilarious😭 and then Stephen just straight up shitting on how she looks😂
lol I totally disagree with Skip but that was great
"Ya look like the joker im telling ya"💀
I think skip must’ve been entirely blind every time Heath Ledgers joker came on screen, but he ain’t wrong about Maggie. When Joker saw Rachael and said “well hello beautiful” I always couldn’t help but think that she isnt ugly but definitely not what they hyped her up to be in the movie
Stephen A. Smith, you own Skip Bayless on The Dark Knight.
Agree they should have put Halle Barry instead of Maggie
lol Skip Bayless will truly say anything for that good ol' shock value.
I always agree with Skip, but I forgot this existed. Ledger and Phoenix have long eclipsed Nicholson, Batman 89 is an overrated movie.
I miss this version of 1st Take so. Dam. Much!
This review was so good. 🤣
Skip Bayless smokin hella rocks
Holy shit this is pure GOLD.
As always Skip's take is freaking WRONG AGAIN.
Nothing like First Take in its prime
To this day this is amazing
The Joker was always the star.... So whats the problem?...
That's not a review - that's American television raping my ears.
Skip is a contrarian even when it comes to movies 😂😂
Stephen A got his wish lmfaoooo
Man they can act serious and debate all they want....but they still sound pretty foolish
Now you’ll probably hear Skip talking about how The Dark Knight is one of the greatest movies ever, that he’s “never seen anything like it”. Contrarian through and through.
This is why you aren’t film reviewers, you’re educated in sports but not film
Lol
Lol
I miss this duo
At 0:06 Skip getting ready to unleash his fire 🔥 take.
Skip almost brought out the “you know it and I know it,” line 😆
Skip needs to retire or stfu, I’ll be happy with either…
I petition for this movie to be renamed "The Joker" and for the 2019 movie to be renamed "The Other Guy" ...
Aaron Eckhart was great as two face though
1:55 stephen a is right heath ledger is THE Joker
Nah Joaquin Phoenix
Skip done lost his mind.
u know the movie is sth special when espn and steven A is talking abt it lmao
It was the split screen for me ahahaha
Stephen a Smith is spot on
Heath ledger is my Joker
I want to see their thoughts on The Batman now
Skip is too funny lmao
Dayum one time i agreed with Skip
Why did they do this??

but that fool is FUNNY as shit. like damn,, you dont need to know ANYTHING about sports and still watch first take and get a good laugh
skip said batman had the 3rd largest role like hes an allstar that choked in the playoffs🤣
Youd think skip Bayless would accidentally be right about something once
classic LMAOOO
why these old guys like old movie
only!
Stephen A was right heath the ultimate joker . Just great
Why am I not surprised Skip Bayless is giving horrendous takes
Skip with the worst takes ever
And as for you Stephen A. Maggie is not bad looking at all. She’s a very attractive lady.
They should have just canned Rachel and brought Haley in as Selena. The would have been a great catwomen with Nolan directing. Then brought Rachel in part 3 again with Katie Holmes. No need to bring in the fuglies. Bruce only dates 9’s or 10’s
I do agree about Maggie G
She was adequate. Should have waited for Katie to be available.
Who here from blockaye?
This Stephen a in his prime
They should have done this with rhe new movie
skip is freakin hilarious. but you have to admit, some of the jibber jabber he says is legit (ie lebrick, warriors beatin the mavs, etc.)
They debate My favorite movie like they debate sports
Well shoot me down I thought they only analyzed sports!
