My thoughts on the Batman (SPOILERS!)

I freakin’ loved Dark Knight. Heath Ledger’s performance blew me away Although saying that he could have put more into it – as my friend, Craig, pointed out, the more jokey-side of the Joker, with the dancing and more hysterical giggling etc, which would have made his dark moments even darker.

I was so happy about seeing the transition from Harvey to Two-Face, Two-Face being my 2nd favourite Batman villain, but I was gutted they killed him! I would have loved to see Harvey’s path to the ‘Dark Side’ continued for him to become a proper-proper villain in the next movie (as I’m assuming they’ll be doing more) but it’s been taken away from me :’(

Batman’s voice was constant hilarity for me tho, seriously, it sounded like he had a cold which just got progressively worse. I also wasn’t impressed by the actual Bruce Wayne scenes, it was all just a bit transparent, if you get what I mean? Don’t get me wrong, I love Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne/Batman but I don’t think enough was made to distinguish the two.

The story was a bit lacking too. By the end of the film I’d completely forgotten about the Japanese guy and why he was even there but that might have been because I was so absorbed by Ledger & Ackhart’s performances. And the last line….. CHEESY AS HELL!

One bit I really did like (and laughed at because I am a sick bitch), was when that guy had the mobile phone sewn into his stomach and the Joker rang the phone to set the bomb off. Fuckin’ funny. Yep, I said I was sick :p Oooh, and I loved the big black convict-guy who threw the detonator out of the window

All in all though… Dark Knight = MADE.OF.WIN!
