The Best Ever?
Kudos to whoever thought of the lips. 2 Kudos to the makeup crew that created it.
OAK PARK, MI- I’m being real right now. I watched the best movie I have ever seen last night. Frankly, Batman: The Dark Knight, fulfilled my movie going needs for the rest of the year. Maybe even the rest of my life. Who cares if it was 3 hours? It had the perfect formula for greatness.
Wait! Don’t run to the comments section crying blasphemy. I have much respect for Casablanca, Rudy and Norbit, but this movie gave me the best cinematic experience possible. Why? There are a few reasons:
1. I went at the midnight showing.
Midnight shows are the perfect atmosphere. Everyone is having fun before the movie. Dead silent during the movie. No distractions.
2. Batman has been my boy since 1988.
He would kick Supermans butt: even while not being super.
3. It catered to my interests.
Geek technology, action, problem solving, lofts in the sky and Morgan Freeman.
Also, not only did it keep me at the edge of my seat with the storyline and interesting twists, Heath Ledger’s role as the Joker created one of the best movie villains ever. It was disturbing watching him because he was so out of his mind. He really gave the impression of someone being truly brain sick. The beauty and greatness of the role was how he balanced his mental illness and stunning intelligence. Heath Ledger twisted the perfect blend of crazy as hell and insanely genius. To me, that’s how the Joker should be.
If you haven’t seen it yet go see it. You’ll be set for a long while.
