Seeing the Light in a Dark Knight

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2008)

One of the great things about superhero movies has always been that you don't have to think to much about them. You get the basic back story and go with the flow.
This movie wasn't like that. You actually had to think when you were watching this movie and I couldn't have been more pleased. You can say what you want about it being "smart" or hard to follow, but its nice to have a movie like this every once and a while. I agree with some of the critics about the action scenes being chaotic and hard to follow. Nolan didn't improve on that much from the first one, but there was plenty of action.
I think Robert Downey Jr.'s biggest problem with the movie is not that he couldn't understand it, but that it has made almost $200 million more than his movie "IRONMAN". That probably sticks in his crawl a little or maybe he's back off the wagon, in any case you lose, TRAMP ("Chaplin" reference). Why so serious? Everyone talks about how great Heath was but I thought that Aaron Eckhart was just as good and Christian Bale was good too, but he has to do something about his Batman voice.
In closing, the movie is definitely worth the price of admission and I would say that you might need to see it twice to get a good grasp on it.
