The Dark Knight - Just Plain Awesome
July 21, 2008 6:57 am Movies, TV and Music
So over the weekend my wife and I and her friends in Idaho went to a showing of The Dark Knight. Now, if you’ve been reading this blog you know that I’ve been excited to go see this one for some time now, and I was extra excited when we had the chance to see it opening weekend!
This movie rocks. It’s everything that you would want to see in the Joker vs. Batman saga. I know when I first heard that Heath Ledger was going to be the Joker I wasn’t too thrilled about it, in fact I thought it was going to kill the movie. And I know that I’m not the only person that thought that. In fact, this morning on a radio show the main guy said he felt the same thing.
But man….Heath Ledger plays one creepy creepy Joker. He played it perfectly if you ask me! So he definitely proved a lot of us out there wrong!
One thing that I really appreciated about this movie is that it really could have been a whole lot more graphic. But they didn’t take it that way. They didn’t put in all the extra gore that a lot of movies would. We knew when the joker would have cut a smile on someone’s face, but they didn’t show it. They didn’t need to. And that is one of the things that made this movie great. They focused on the story of what was going on, not the stupid gore.
Anyway, great movie. I’ll need to go see it again sometime, and if you haven’t seen it yet you should highly consider it!

Wow I’m so jealous that you’ve already gotten to see this. I live overseas so it’s not coming out for a while.

Great Movie! I saw it yesterday. Heath Ledger was awesome. Its a shame he died, he did a great job. Dark Knight definitely surpassed Batman Begins.

I’m totally jealous. I’m dying to see it. I also thought Heath was wrong for the role. When I saw him in makeup I had to reconsider.

It’s premiering here this week and I can’t wait.
It’s a bit sad, that there’s talk of an oscar nomination for Heath. Must be hard on the family.

I love the movie. Will likely be the best movie of the summer. That said, if i have to hear one person joke in asking Why SO Serious, i’m going to go nuts..it’s getting old already!
