It. was. INCREDIBLE!!!
Oh. Dear. Fuzzy. I was never a Heath Ledger fan? I almost cried because he's gone!! Do tears in eyes count as crying? He was absolutely PERFECT! But perfect doesn't even describe it - him - his performance - the Joker - GUH!
Oh dear fuzzy. I can't review this without spoilers.
I cried when Gordon died. And my stomach was in knots that they changed the story so much. HOW COULD THEY when he hadn't even become Commissioner yet?! Our theater clapped when he came back, though, and oh the relief; I think I was more hearty than most. Even before Batman Begins, Gordon was always a favorite character to appear, not so much in the movies, but in the series(es?). I don't know why; I've just always been a BIG Gordon fan. And then Gary Oldman was selected to play him and.... *sighs dreamily*
And LOL: He couldn't do yelling in American. XD He totally had an accent on the roof at that part between the three of them.
Bruce Wayne wasn't in this very much. I wish he had been, but I guess Bruce didn't have much development as opposed to Batman.
Dood. Two Face was the awesome. So sad though for Dent. ;_; I cried for him, too. At the end there. And when he found the coin.
And as for the Joker.... Aww, man. He was so excellent that I can't find anything to say. I mean, I can rave, but I'm speechless. He perfected the role. Defined the evil insanity that the Joker is. He. was. amazing. I hope he gets the Oscar. An Academy award. Something. Even if he is gone, he completely deserves it and nothing less.
ETA: I had to hold in a squee for Cillian Murphy at the beginning there. XDDD YAYZ! Batman groupie!

In conclusion, The Dark Knight: Best. Movie. of 2008. GO SEE IT! You'll be on the edge of your seat the entire time and be moved more times than can be counted. It's incredible. Words can't describe this movie.

Oh the awesomness. You excited about the Terminator movie he's gonna be in? Should be interesting without the Govenator. lol
The problem with the other Batman movies (not the Burton ones) is that they were too silly.
I agree, though I think the problem with the Burton ones (because I didn't like them) was that they were too melodramatic. The first one was better than the second one (because I really, really don't like Catwoman. eww.) and both were far superior to the latter two, but it was just too... too, I suppose. The cartoons were always so much better.

First one I liked for Jack Nicholson, though I don't think I would now after seeing Heath...But I never had any interest in the second because of Devito. And Michael Keaton doesn't really sell the necessary Bruce Wayne arrogance and angst! Christian's really the perfect Bruce.

Date: 2008-07-22 01:15 am (UTC)The Joker never came across to me as what I always thought he was supposed to be: a geninus psycopath boardering on insanity for his "work." - Rather obsession. I thought M. Night Shaymalan got close to it with Samuel L. Jackson's character in Unbreakable - but he wasn't nearly mad enough. I mean, Joker killed Superman, didn't he? Or beat him, at least. I thought he killed him, but maybe not...? Anyway, even the cartoons didn't nail it like Ledger did.
And yes, Bale's the perfect Bruce. He's also the hottest! XD
Ugh. I've seen it two nights in a row, and I wanna see it again!

Date: 2008-07-22 01:59 am (UTC)I may have a crush on the Joker now.THAT'S her name! Ter and I were talking about that after the first time we saw it - that we wanted her to be brought in! She always had the huge weapons... Ooo! I know who they should do next: Toy Man! :D So what if he was mostly Superman? He would be awesome.
