Horrible

In response to some of the previous reviews: I knew what I was getting into when I went to this movie. I was not offended by it either. I was a huge fan of Borat, and was hoping to see a movie that either met or exceeded the comedy of that movie. However, I was completely disappionted. Sure, the movie was outrageous, but it was not funny at all. The funniest parts of this movie were definitely in the previews (and obviously were the only parts they could show on TV). No other scenes even came close to making me laugh. If you've seen the trailors for this movie, that's all you need.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Watchmen

I first heard of the Watchmen last summer after seeing a preview at the Dark Knight. I'd been highly anticipating the movie. It did not disappoint. I had never heard of the Watchmen until then but became a fan instantly. The movie was better than I anticipated but I feel it could have been better. Its hard to pin point what it needed but definitely lacking something. Even so, it seems to be the Dark Knight of this year, but we'll see after Terminator Salvation releases.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Best Movie of The Year

For all you haters out there, attempting to be different and give this movie less than it deserves, nobody cares. If you're looking for a helpful review in wanting to see this movie or not..here it is. This is a great movie, no matter who you are, or what you like. TDK has revitalized Batman and attempted to branch out of the normal comic book/superhero movie genre. Yes Heath Ledger lives up to the hype about his performance, Christian Bale is amazing as usual, and Aaron Eckhart portrays Harvey Dent/Two Face better than anyone before him. This movie lives up to the hype and beat out my original expectations. Its funny that the only negative reviews I've heard from people are simply not negative at all. Someone called it too "dark." Hello?! Its called the Dark Knight! This isn't your weak kiddy Tim Burton Batman films. This is Batman for the next generation. More extreme, more entertaining, and more hardcore. Another reviewer said there wasn't enough "character development." Thats the point of the movie "Batman Begins." Its true that they don't show how the Joker was created or really any background information period. But that is the point. Why not have a villian protrayed that isn't created at the beginning of the movie...usually in a pretty cheesy way. It just adds to the mystery. There's a scene where Gordon says they found nothing but lint and knives in his pockets, his clothes are custom, no ID no other alias. There it is! A villian that's a mystery and yet we all know the Joker.
Ok enough ranting...go see the movie!
