Batman: the dark night
ok, so i’m not too big a fan of super hero movies, not since the disappointment that accompanied spider man three. but i was actually looking forewad to seeing the new batman movie, possibly just because of the whole heath ledger drama, who knows for sure.
i had high hopes, because my freind who i went with said she saw it before but it was so good she wanted to see it again. And because of the fact that my brother loathed it. (yeah, we’re opposites). What i have to say about the dark night is, it was good. that about sums it up.
the main problem i had with it was that i felt it was an exact copy of every super hero movie, ever. not just every superhero movie, but every super hero movie sequal. so i supose if super hero movies are your thing, then this movie won’t disappoint you. but if you found spider man three to be more of a comedy than an action drama, you’ll most likely be standing on my side of the fence.
it’s biggest redeeming factor was heath ledger. before i saw the movie i heard that heath leadger was so good that you actually root for him even though he’s the bad guy. for me, it was more of a "love to hate" type of thing. since his death, the film has been talked about and talked about, some people even say his role directly caused his death. what i’m trying to say is, i wasn’t sure if it was going to live up to it’s hype. the joker was pretty ‘haunting,’ and pretty ‘creepy’, but it was also hard to believe, and hard to take seriously. Heath ledger did an amazing job, but i can’t say i’ll lose sleep over it.
