The Dark Knight

On our Weekend Happenings post, I intentionally left out that Saturday night Jason, Christi, and myself went to see The Dark Knight. I did that because I knew I would go off on a tangent talking about the movie, which would make the post even longer than it was and detract from the point of the post.


I know a lot of people went to see it this past weekend but many others still haven't. If you are one of those who hasn't had a chance to see it yet - make sure you go soon! I LOVED the movie. The action was great, the acting was great, and the storyline and plot were fantastic! I wasn't sure what was going to happen next or when the movie was going to end. A lot of things happened that I never would have expected. There were even some very funny parts. The only thing that bugs me is the way Bruce Wayne talks when he is Batman. It seems a bit forced - but that's just being picky. Also, I really enjoyed the Joker and how they made his character - very dark and crazy and totally bent on destruction. Heath Ledger did a brilliant job and truly made the movie that much better. However, I'm not totally convinced that all the award talk would be happening this early if he hadn't passed away. Not being insensitive, just my opinion.


Overall - must see movie. Great in all aspects and would definitely go see again in the theaters. To me, the movie was worth all the hype and it was great all the way around. I'm curious to see what the storyline in the 3rd movie will be - if they decide to do another one, which I'm sure they will based on all the money this one brought in. I hope they don't rush it and take their time like they did on this one. Very great movie!
