you want to see a magic trick?

so, the dark knight aye? twas amazing.

now i'm not a die-hard batman fan. i appreciate the batman, and what his appeal is. i mean, he doesn't have any superpowers, in a world when men can fly, set themselves on fire, and create forcefields with an energy ring. yet batman is the one who pulls the justice league out of the fire more often than not. he's the man.

the movie was...well, you watch it and you don't think, "this is a superhero movie". if it didn't have a man in a batsuit it would be a detective film, y'know? at the end of the day though, i didn't leave the cinema thinking, man, batman is awesome. i left thinking, my god, the joker is crazy.

he steals the show. every single scene he is in is memorable, he has such stage presence, he does. Heath Ledger deserves a post-humous oscar for it, no doubt about it. in fact, if he doesn't get one, i will be very upset. i have never seen such energy and effort put into a role like the jokers. at the end of the day, he's batmans foil, he's anarchy personified where batman represents justice and redemption.

it's just such a shame that Christian Bale is a poor batman, not the worst batman though ( i still think that honor goes to George Clooney...uuurgggh) . that. voice. is. terrible. honestly, i wanted to give him a cough drop. clear your throat when you talk Mr. Bale! then maybe people will understand you!

Michael Caine and Aaron Eckhart were also amazing, as was Gary Oldman. in fact, just about everyone in the movie was amazing, except for Christian Bale. ah well, he tried >_<

i watched the movie twice on thursday, the day it was released. once with Lawrence, The Griff and John, and the second time with Ronron, The Griff and Arjay. and it was even better the second time. watch this movie.

also notice how i tried not to spoil the movie for you, why would i do that? you need to experience it for yourself!
