It is 330am in my time zone and I just got home after watching a midnight showing of The Dark Knight. I have waited since the end of Batman Begings for this film. I have anticipated this film since the day I read Heath Ledger would be the Joker. Batman fan or not, any fan of film needs to see this one. Never have I seen a film that i could honestly say that everything was perfect, absolutely perfect. I had been up for about 28 hours when the movie started, working two 8 hour shifts at both of my jobs and i didn't even need to finish my coke because this film kept me on edge, start to finish. Ledger, R.I.P., was better than I ever dreamed, phenomenal. It is a shame he will not continue this role. Eckhart was the embodiment of Harvey Dent, as if he were destined for this role. And lastly Christian Bale. I am not afraid to admit I never liked Bale, in anything he ever stared in, until Batman Begins. After tonight, or this morning, i retract any doubt I ever had in Bale. I am already waiting to see how he grows in the next installment.The Dark Knight's script is as flawless as the cinematography, just impeccable. I have always left movies saying "that was good" or "excellent", never have i walked out saying "this is my favorite movie of all time hands down." I have already made plans to see it again in 17 hours. Bottom line: Best film in recent memory and i don't see that changing anytime soon.
