Just caught the Dark Knight in the theatres..a movie which I really wanted to watch and hyped up over. I must say it definitely did not disappoint. I remember watching the original Batman movies from the 1980s directed by Tim Burton and it was great cos it had a really dark tone to it...Batman Begins brought it to another deeper level by exploring the origins of Batman....and now The Dark Knight goes even further, so much so that it explores several moral issues and personalities of the different characters of the show to a whole new level. While that may sound super cheem to those who probably want another pop-corn chewing, super action packed superhero comic flick, I certainly enjoyed the whole darker, bleaker tone taken to this film.
The Joker is really the main reason why I wanted to see the film. I remember Jack Nicholson's funny and stylish portrayal of the Joker in the 80s film but Heath Ledger's Joker is one mean psychopathic killing clown. Lemme just say that the Joker steals every scene whenever he appears. It is really just that fabulous, although the other characters were played out nicely too.
These 2 reviews I seen so far kinda summarises my thoughts on the film.
