For those of you who have not seen it yet, this post is NOT a spoiler, so no worries.
Dark Knight was sold out in over 90% of Movie theaters this weekend and broke into the record books with a $155 million weekend! Fortunately, Miami was not sold out so my wife and I had a opportunity to catch a Saturday morning showing.
I went in with my doubts, don’t get me wrong I LOVED the ‘Batman Begins’, but all to often sequels disappoint-remember the sequel to the Matrix? I was also doubtful whether ‘Dark Knight’ could live up to all the hype.
Well, all I can say is that I was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY! This is, by far, the best superhero movie I’ve ever seen.
An absolute masterpiece.
Heath Ledger, who played the Joker, freaked me out! He did an outstanding job playing this role. If you didn’t know already, Heath Ledger died of an accidental overdoes of sleeping pills! Very sad and unfortunately, apparently he had trouble sleeping. Some have suggested perhaps he got too much into character playing the Joker, and it was effecting him. Well never really know!
Dark Knight will have your heart pounding till the very end as the Joker puts Gotham city through hell and forces Batman to do some soul searching. The story line is very well done, and the acting is some of the best I’ve seen in an action hero movie. It’s a MUST see.
Only downside to the movie was Batman’s fight scenes with the Joker. In reality, Batman should have been able to easily take out the Joker in a one on one situation. In the movie it’s pretty clear that Batman is holding back when fighting the Joker. I realize they wanted to show a tough fight between Batman and Joker, but it was TOTALLY unconvincing.
Here’s 3 reason I like Batman:
- He’s a ninja master. As a black belt in karate, I think this is very cool.
- He’s super rich and using that wealth to do good by fighting crime in a very cool way. Yes, deep down I secretly wish, once I’m as rich as Bruce Wayne, to master ninjitsu and fly around in $300k Bat suit! LOL
- He’s always in style. Whether he’s riding around in his Lamborgini, wearing his Italian cut suits at lavish parties, or fighting crime in his Batman suit.
Hi, I just saw it this afternoon. It was so GREAT. First i thought it was about to end already, when they got the clown. But then it gotten longer, and it was getting more entertaining. I even watched Hancock. Two movies today…
I still haven’t seen this movie. I got to go see it. So many people keep telling me its good.
Yes Marty,
Why so serious. that’s a line in the movie too.
It’s a good movie Amit. But why is it so difficult to catch the Joker? The police is always too late. Just ask Lt. Caine( CSI Miami) to get him.
How come the follower of one of the head criminal easily turn on their leader. Money is not the bait. The joker must have hypnotize them. Maybe I could sell those hypnotize book on Clickbank.
Oh wait..this is just a movie. Anyway thanks Amit. I need some time with the kids. But they just asked me too many questions, why Batman this? why Joker that? Any kids movie I should watch?
