The Dark Knight

I'm going to plagiarize myself and post here something I posted elsewhere. I think more people might see it here though.

I don't want to oversell it, but there will never be a movie this good ever again.


Heath Ledger as the Joker

I had my doubts. I really didn't think he was a very good actor and I felt like he was going to be the Katie Holmes of the installment. After seeing him as the Joker I think it's a damn shame that he's going to win the best actor Oscar after he's dead. Because between his portrayal (and the fact that he died during the filming of it) he has the Oscar sewn up. In the same way that they made Batman into a character that makes you think "this is what Batman would be like in the real world", now they they make you say "this is what the Joker would be like in the real world." I don't want to give any spoilers. I'm just saying this is the way the Joker should be portrayed.

Action Sequences

Wow. In case you missed it the first time, wow. That's really all I can say. You can walk out of a Summer popcorn action flick and say OMG and holy fucking shit because the action in it was so great. This is the next day and all I can say is wow. They were just that incredible that I'm still at a complete loss of words. And they were so amazing that there's no words for me to explain how absolutely amazing they were. When you sit in those IMAX chairs and feel the rumble of the Bat Pod on screen shaking you through your nether regions, it's like touching the hand of god.

Story Line

The story is awesome. Every time, and there's a lot of these times, that you think to yourself that you know what's going to happen next, you don't. Every time you think to your self that you know what the Joker is up to, you don't. Every time you think you know what Batman is going to do, wrong-o! The story is incredible.

The Rest of the Cast

Impeccable casting. Nuff said.




Why are you reading this? You should be making plans to go to the IMAX to see this, and if you can't do that at least go to the theater to see it. It really is an incredible work of art.
