A Toe Tapping Fun Time

For adults, the plot is ultra-predictable, but the formulaic nature of the whole thing really didn't take away from the fun of it. I guess I'm a sap, but I was excited to take my 8 year old daughter and her friend to see it. The characters were bubbly, the songs were catchy, the romance was kid friendly.
The review from the 8 year olds was two incredibly enthusiastic thumbs up.
Fun movie! If you have a girl under 10, indulge yourself and take her. You'll both have a great time!

Initially, I wasn't sure I wanted to see this movie. Something about seeing Heath Ledger's last movie seemed a bit macabre for my taste, but curiosity got the best of me. And I am SO glad it did!
This movie was a thrill ride from start to finish. The special effects were outstanding, Christian Bale was just as good in this movie as the last, and the wonderful use of veteran actors Michael Cain and Morgan Freeman was great to see. Maggie Gyllenhaal's portrayal of Rachel was much more than a one dimensional comic book heroin, and Aaron Eckhart was so convincing as the benevolent Harvey Dent that it made his transition to Two Face that much more menacing.
Then there was Heath Ledger. I've already heard Oscar rumblings and quite frankly, a nomination would be completely deserved. Ledger's Joker was so psychotically demented and his performance so committed, I didn't once think about the tragedy of his death. All I could see was the complete twistedness of the character.
This is defnitely NOT a movie for kids under 12. I'm going to let my 12 year old daughter go, but would not even consider taking my 8 year old. Even for kids 12 or 13, I would suggest parents see the movie first and make your own decision. While the graphic violence is more suggested than actually visible, the suggestions are intense and terrifying.
Great movie! See it in the theater!!!
