to start i bought my tickets with the online credit card do-hickey. very conveniant cuz i didnt have to deal with a long line of angered idiots (including my mother who would not shut up about every little inconveniance cuz she just doesnt know how to enjoy herself and im deeply sorry to all employees of the theatre). so we skipped on line and ended up having two more to go. so we waited in line for 20 minutes after waiting in line for the consessions.smart of us to dfo it first since now all we had to do was get in the theatre and sit our butts down. but the drawback is we had to carry the drinks and popcorn for idk an hour? about 15 minutes into waiting in line suddenly the fire alarm went off and we had to all go out side in the hot matine sun.i felt so bad for the employees trying to get everyone out because everyone was yelling and complaining and ignoring what they had to say.
ok after all that and the arival of my movie partner (if you will *wink*) me and him entered the theatre with our gameboys and waited not too much longer. i was very impressed by one of the previews for the watchmen movie and kinda baffled as to why there was a harry potter trailer with absolutely no footage of any kind. just the title and some music.
then the movie starts. i loved how even the begining had a huge twist. christopher nolan could really teach mr m night shablabalabalababalaga or what ever his name is. all the original charactors and more importantly all but one actress (didnt like her anyway) return as phenominal as ever. cristian bale was great even if his batman voice does sound like satan with a cold. gorden was again a well played charactor as you also get to see more of his family and his daughter barbera who as fans know is very important. a cameo from the scarecrow comes along though i dont think it was him in the plot you still get to see the likeness thus slightly recaping the movie. i was so afraid this movie would be over looked by the death of heath ledger. however this movie is perfect for his legacy as when you watch it you kinda forget hes dead. either way his performance as such a legendary villain was phenominal. i always thought jack nikolsons joker was clasic and mark hamil gave a most beloved and protected performance in the animated series. heath ledger got it right which mad me and my fellow comic buffs in the theatre give a sigh of releive when we saw his antics. well acted also was the part of harvey two face. whom was always one of the more intresting villains to me. not my favorite but i always found the charactor very enjoyable to learn about. though i do not like at all what they did with the charactor in this movie. very well acted awesome makeup (though looked oddly like the terminater) but the ending of this charactors part in the story was so unsatisfying i actually had to squeeze my friends hand out of anger. though i must say in spiderman 3 we all waited the whole movie to see venom. and venom was in the movie for not long at all. it was more like a freakin cameo. luckily while it did take two face just as long to even begin to apear in the dark knight he managed to make up for his absense and made a huge impact on the story in that small amount of movie time. on that note how ever i jumped for joy as to the events surrounding the charactor of rachel. i never liked either the actresses or the charactor for that matter since in the comics batman has never really been steady with one girl. hes not lucky enough. but i was very satisfied where she ended up in the plot by the end. the end of batman begins was kinda corny introducing the signal and all. so the slightly grim ending was really fresh for a comic movies standards. of course about every standard to a comic book movie was surpassed in this movie. it managed to be fantastic and foreignly placed in an seemingly unreachable reality with out being campy and stupid. in fact it was a very gritty and real aproach to two very recognizable villains. the ending opened for a third movie which i have to say i now would welcom. if they were to surpass the quality of this film then you would have a perfect series of films. the effects were dazling the acting incredible the twists were intresting and the plot was acceptable. there were sooooo many issues i had with certain charactors charactors by the end. i was very skepticle and being such a fan of comic books prevented me from enjoying this film as a film. as a movie i would rate it with a thousand over ten but since it is a movie based on plot surrounding such beloved charactors its harder on me. had haeth not passed on, the joker wouldve been in fine hands but now im worried that if they need the charactor later in a movie it will be subpar to heaths performance thus dooming said future movie. sure heath was not perfect for the joker. but he was the closest so far. so despite my skeptisism im actually giving this film high scores. not perfect scores because of the whole twoface plot in the end p!$$!ng me off so bad but i was impressed. so long as the series does not do what the previous movie series did and change directors and actors all around. i would say we can expect great things to come.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
