If you’re gonna see
The Dark Knight here’s some advice: Don’t bring the kids. This ain’t no cartoon.
I don’t how in the hell it got a PG-13 rating. The sh*t gave me nightmares, and I
ain’t no kid.
Secondly, see it on the IMAX. The aerial scenes and fight scenes
are crazy. While the story line is a little convoluted, the action and
characters make you forget about it.
Director Christopher Nolan’s sequel
to
Batman Begins is the opposite of Joel Schumaker’s Batman and Robin, which was a like a Broadway musical
without the music. The movie is also nothing like its predecessor, which spent
way too much time developing Batman and not enough time showcasing him.
The
Dark Knight is a grimly realistic modern portrait of Gotham’s great hero.
The movie deals with issues like police corruption, money laundering, terrorism
and vigilante morality. Nolan, who wrote and directed
Memento, offers a
way more complex take on good and evil than any previous superhero
movie.
Much has been made about Heath Ledger’s final performance as The
Joker. I’ve heard things like he’s better than Hannibal Lecter or Jack Nicholson's version of the same character. Neither of these are
true...
