Why So Serious?
PostedJuly 18, 2008

It wasn't what I was expecting at all. It was, however, what I was hoping for. It exceeded my expectations and, for the first time, brought one of my favorite comic books to life right in front of me. Showed me a more realistic version of the caped crusader of Gotham. (Yes, I'm aware of my nerdiness).
Heath Ledger did an amazing job as The Joker. I can safely say that I was blown away by his performance. Very sad that he died. I was sad when he did die because of I liked him as an actor.
Wasn't thrilled with him doing Brokeback Mountain (Nope, haven't seen it...most likely won't), but he was good...and The Dark Knight was awesome.
Two Face was even more realistic and frightening as ever. Even though the Joker stole the show, I was still concerned about the other villian when he started showing his evil side.
I won't throw any spoilers out since its opening weekend, but if you haven't seen this in theatres within two weeks...for shame. For. Shame. But lets just say that Batman plays a darker role. Showing more of the darker side that is the Batman that I know from the comics. What he does to one specific Mobster/Mafia Leader....it made me cringe.
Iron Man and The Dark Knight are now my two favorite summer blockbusters. I also absolutely loved the way they ended it. In that I mean, that I loved how they cut to end credits. Just great....I love it when they do that.
I'll let you go see it for yourself and stop talking about it. But be ready when the Joker makes his appearance and shows you one....good.....magic trick.
...."[Wanna see] this pencil disappear?"
Yes, I recommend this movie.
