A Classic
PostedJuly 20, 2008

from Columbia, MD
I would gander that most people who saw this movie this weekend, are coming out and saying that it's the "BEST MOVIE EVER." It's definitely too soon to say that, but what I can say is that this movie has all the makings of a classic.
1. Heath Ledger's acting is remarkable in that I could not tell that it was him behind the Joker. When Nicholson played the Joker, you sure as hell knew it was the man behind all the makeup. Ledger becomes the Joker, and gives a wonderfully dark, yet also comic performance. Rest in peace, Heath, but know you went out in a flame of glory.
2. The plot, script, and casting was perfect except for two things. One was Maggie Gyllenhaal. Two was Christian Bale's fight sequences. Gyllenhaal was not cast right, and her acting was awkward and corny. I couldn't get behind her character; not to mention that Eckhart had to save her acting with corny one-liners. Bale on the other hand is a perfect fit for Batman except for the fact that his fight sequences seemed choreographed (who knew eh?). I can't get behind a hero that takes a henchman by the arm, waits 1 second, then punches the living guts out of him while he waits like a ragdoll. I know this is how henchman fight, but I'd love to have seen his fight sequences in a more fluid manner.
3. There's a reason why you have to come an hour before the movie to see this gem, it's just that good.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
