Hollywood take notice...

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2008)

Hands down one the best films I've seen that lived up to expectations on the big screen.
What I really hope is that Hollywood take notice. It seems the message wasn't clear enough with Lord of the Rings, that audiences prefer more intelligent and serious films that push boundaries. We do not want more simplified children's crapfest which insult our intellect.
With The Dark Knight, the filmmakers have once again proved that movies that are more adult oriented can and will make a lot of money as well if they are done right.
So more of this please. Let's hope this movie can bring a revolutionary change in studio mentality to deliver what adult audiences demand.
Also, the benefits of a really good and intelligent film is that sometimes you have to watch it twice for the movie's key elements to really sink in, which is why, I will be watching this one again in the cinema. I hardly ever watch a movie twice on the big screen, so this one really takes the cake.
