Saw it on Saturday before Party People's
Arguably the best closing of any movie in recent times, the last 5 minutes after Dent's death and the Batman and Gordon talk gave me goose bumps.
Didn't feel long, but cutting out 20 minutes could have made it a cla**ic, especially the China stuff.
It's a pity Maggie had only one movie to make the love interest work, Katie Holmes ruined the first one.
And I could not get over Christian's voice as, Batman, it sounds like someone who wants to sound like a Superhero.
But it don't matter, you know why? Because this was a Joker, Harvey Dent and Comm Gordon movie, Heath, Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart totally killed it.
I genuinely felt scared for everyone in the movie and also watching the movie everytime the Joker was on screen, we should all pray that we go out like Heath Ledger, the performance is a magnum opus, stars have to cross for something like that to happen.
I have never believed so much in a character from a movie as I did with Aaron's Harvey Dent, Batman is a billionaire playboy who wears rubber suit with nifty gadgets, Harvey Dent is a Superhero, a selfless, compa**ionate brave man.
He is the public's dream a people's hero who never stops being one once in office.
Comm Gordon is the moral compa**, usually you see a cop who is conflicted between doing everything he can to protect people and keeping it legal, not Comm Gordon, he is so clear about the grey area and how to use it. It reminds me of the standup routine where Chris Rock talks about how, people are not one thing; Sometimes you think like a liberal, sometimes a conservative.
Dark Knight is a rare superhero movie because instead of being a total escapism from reality, it takes its grim reality with it to a place where good beats evil, if not every time, by the next sequel.
Long? Bear with me I just quit my j.o.b. for the b.e.e.r!
