 Just so everyone knows: Batman is my favorite superhero. (I read those comic books as a kid, and eventually Frank Miller's as I got older.) So, yup, I went to see a midnight showing of The Dark Knight. I've been waiting since last year to see it... It was the most amazing superhero movie ever. My mind is still reeling from it. I need to let it sink in and, I need to see it again (and again). The character development is fantastic throughout; nothing was crammed together like Spider-man 3. Granted it's a considerably long movie, it's worthy of the length. It hits upon everything you can hope for in all the characters and plot. Heath Ledger hits the Joker spot on-- deranged, crazy, intimidating, and fearsome. He was perfect. The blend of perverseness and complete joy from causing turmoil gives you goosebumps. He IS the Joker. He completely lost himself in the character. He embodied every element of the villain, even the little quirks of being silly at times. And the thing is, I never found the Joker to be that great of a villain. But now I think he's the ultimate badass. I completely see his side, his functional anarchy. My god, the brilliance of Heath Ledger's performance. The laugh, the voice, the look... it's all so chilling. And it makes me incredibly sad that he has passed away. My mind is all over the place, but the point is: this movie was amazing. |
