The Dark Knight Finally
My sister and I went to see The Dark Knight this evening at the local theater without any problems this time. The movie had good and bad moments. Heath Ledger was good as the Joker but there were times that I found him annoying. Christian Bale was good as Bruce Wayne aka Batman again. Unfortunately, he sounded hoarse when he talked for any length of time while wearing the crowl. Maggie Gyllenhaal was a much better choice for Rachel.
What made The Dark Knight for me was Gary Oldman as James Gordon and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent. Having Gordon receive his promotion from a Lieutenant to the Commisioner was great to see. I liked how we got to see both sides of Dent. Kudos to the make up crew that worked on Two-Face (I'm still not crazy about the Joker's make-up).
My biggest problem with the movie was the sound. Sure, the explosions and music were loud but the voices seemed really low. The sound problem was evident especially in the first half of the movie. Even my sister noticed it so it was not just me.
Overall, I give The Dark Knight an A+ and I highly recommend all comic book geeks to watch it on the big screen.
