Punishment is LOVE

I love comic books on the big screen and I love this one too. Is it Batman? No, but then they didn't spend a gazillion bucks on it either. The acting is excellent: Ray hits the guilt ridden somber character without going over the top while the supporting cast is sometimes on and sometimes off the mark for me. The action never stops and yes the plot is a bit thin and the over the top while the violence/gore is not for everyone. But, if you love the comics on the big screen you need to see this movie. The stunts are out of this world, the cinematography is top rate and Ray Stevens hits a new character level for the Punisher. Give me more, I want a sequel to this!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Dark Knight a Bright Light in Heavy Storm

Good and evil, stregnth of character, things that go bump in your life.
Weaving across the basic premise of conflict as a general principal in life Dark Knight takes the prime juxtaposition of law, morality and character and integrates these staples of drama with a complex set of life stories, life lessons and human stregnth and weakness.
Steeped in the realization that you can't always get what you want but if try sometimes you can get what you need Dark Knight pits imperfect evil against imperfet good.
This is a complex and twisted story where none of the key players involved win. Everyone looses essential elements of life and/or character.
Yet hope in Gotham survives as self sacrifice bedded in hidden truths and ourtight lies leaves a second reckoning of pure good and evil on the horizon.
The drama is not over as the movie ends with many painful truths threatening to destroy all that they hoped to save despite their heavy personal losses to preserve the illusion of continuity in Gotham.
The sequel to this story line could well provide yet another winner.
In the mean time this movie simply rocks the house.
Dark Knight is excellent entertainment all around with acting so intense and on spot that the characters come to full life. The action scenes are perfect, the stunts are amazing, the visuals are breath taking.
This is not a movie for young children, the themes are dark, the drama intense and the content will be over many of their little heads.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
