Well, I just saw The Dark Knight.
I thought it was a good solid movie. A different kind of superhero film this summer. Iron Man and the Hulk you could turn your brain off for the most part, but the Dark Knight was much more psychological. It's one of those films that really gets your brain into overdrive. Was it dark? Yeah, I'd say so. It is not a happy film by any means. Dark, disturbing, and depressing is what The Dark Knight was. And I enjoyed that. It definitely took Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns as an inspiration.
Heath Ledger was good as the Joker, but I really don't think he'll win an Oscar. That is just a bunch idiot comic book fanboy talk. Still, he was very creepy and his version of the Joker as a terrorist was very interesting.
Aaron Eckhart was great as Harvey Dent/Two-Face...They really nailed his character down in this film. Very pleased!
I was very satisfied by the film. It kept my interest. So, it was good.
