We caught the midnight showing of The Dark Knight last night and I have to say that it was good. No, it's not the perfect, master's thesis of cinema that some of the reviews are claming it to be. However, Heath did give the performance of his career; it kinda makes you wonder if you would want to be remembered as a character such as DK's Joker. Watch for his magic trick. The dude is crazy. Rest of the cast is solid as always but Maggie G suffered the same fate as Katie Holmes in Begins. We came to the decision that the Rachel Dawes character is simply too weak and definitely could have been strengthened.
I found the movie long. Some may disagree with me; that's totally fine. I'll refer back to my King Kong statement: Did this NEED to be two and a half hours? No. Did we NEED all the twists, turns, and plot points that were shoved down our throats? No. Are we glad we were force fed everything that is The Dark Knight? Yes.
I don't want to go too much into it--I'm a fan of giving people opening weekend before I throw my full two cents at them.
Now to the trailers. There were some good ones. I'll leave out the Ridley Scott-DiCaprio-Crowe one because i wasn't impressed. But here's Terminator: Salvation and Watchmen.
