Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2008)

Walking into the theater, I began to wonder why I had been so excited about this movie
Why for weeks, I had been spouting how amazing it was going to be. It was a black cloud moment. And I prepped myself for "just another movie".
Leaving the theatre, all traces of such a feeling were gone, and I was left in a strange way; pondering all the things I'd just seen.
Heath Ledger. Heath Ledger. Heath Ledger. I can't express what an amazing job I think he did with words. I can't not give props to the writers and Designers. it was a brilliant take on the Joker. Somewhere about half-way through, I suddenly missed Heath Ledger. that's all I can really do to explain it.
Now to the one thing I really wanted to say.
something. one thing. the one thing.
the one thing i DID NOT (gasp here - >_____< - ) like about the Dark Knight:
Michael Caine as Alfred. another thing I can't really explain, but will try to anyways.
Alfred seems like so much of a softer role than Michael Caine has gone after in the past. Something along the lines of him being too strong.
this. is such a minor thing, that it doesn't even scratch the surface of this amazing movie.
it delivers enough fighting, shooting, and explosions to satisfy my action Thirst. but also gave enough Thought Provoking themes. (the Boats scene, and the general aim of the Joker).
god bless the Dark Knight!
