The Dark Knight


We wanted to go to the beach today. But the weather forecast said it was going to rain today and it would be vry cold.

Well, we went to watch The Dark Knight instead, the second installment of the 'Batman' movies by director Christopher Nolan. When we came out of the theatre, we saw this looooooooong line that extended all the way near to the entrance. Apparently the next session was sold out... it was amazing, sorta like when we went to watch Harry Potter. MAybe it was because everyone wanted to see the late Heath Ledger's last completed role. After all, he was one of Australia's own and one of the best. So here are a few reasons why you absolutely HAVE to catch this flick too....
1. Heath Ledger ( pictured here in a scene from the movie as The Joker)- The late Heath Ledger is absolutely AMAZING in this role as The Joker. A role critics say will go down in history as on of the best role potrayed by him. He brought the psychotic madness of the Joker to a whole new level. I have to say, during the movie, I was genuinely terrified of him. His laugh, is face, his voice, and this flicking thing he kept doing with his tongue... Scary, completely creeped me out. Yet he was likable as a villian, I didn't hate him, I laughed at him a lot too... So, I have to say, He was just fantastic.
2. Of course, the ever-so-delicious Christian Bale is another reason. He is, to me, the best Batman ever. Broody, dark and handsome. And Michael Caine is just the best Alfred too. :) Aaron Eckhart plays Harvey Dent in the movie and we see how Two-Face became Two-Face. He was pretty good as well.
3. The film itself was good as well. Great soundtrack, great directing, beautiful cinematography. Effects, as expected were stunning and the story was good. Always keeping us at the edge of our seats, never boring. I suppose the only thing about this film was that it was probably a bit too long, and a bit over-plotted. There were so many things happening, sometimes even happning at the same time, to the point where I was pretty confused at certain parts of the movie ( but that could be aided by the fact that the row of girls sitting behind me wouldnt shut up )

All in all, best Batman movie I have ever seen. Totally worth watching it in theatres. Mind Blowing. You'll see for yourself when you watch it :)
