Action, frustrated love, vengeance, and the world's best disappearing-pencil trick.
That's right, this movie has it all.
I'm extremely happy that they're sticking with the gritty, dark, dare I say it realistic format for the new Batman movies. I was getting really tired of superheroes made of neon, and the ridiculous batman "sculpted ab-shaped body armor" batman of the nineties. This has fewer ridiculous contraptions, and thus seems very real to me - it could (maybe) happen. And that just makes the whole experience that much better.
Heath Ledger's performance was absolutely flawless. The Joker in this movie is less goofy-ha ha; he's a thoroughly sadistic, chaotic-neutral genius. He's consistently one step ahead of everyone else, which helps to string along the plot for a long long time. Not that it ever felt strung along - this is an excellent movie that keeps you interested to the end.
Hell, I've got a free pass to a theatre. I'm thinking of seeing it again in the the theater, just cause most TVs won't do it justice.
And apparently it was filmed in IMAX, so that version of it is probably worth checking out...
Turns out, he was his father the whole damn time.
This is a pretty good movie, plenty of action, neat gizmos, decent fight scenes, etc.
My only problem was that the whole movie seemed like "Michael Scott, Secret Agent." I think I've just been watching The Office too much lately.
Anyway, it's definitely worth seeing. Give it a go if you've got a free night.
