Go see it....
Okay fine I'll review it. So I was not one of the people who decided to deprive themselves of sleep and brave the costumed fanboys , and alley molesters (like my supervisor was) and did not catch the Dark Knight at the midnight or 3 am showings. Because you know, i have a life and I was able to contain my excitement for a few days. Plus I really hate lines. So I caught it on Sunday afternoon by design since there wouldn't be anybody weird and I didn't have to wait in line. So I got some great seats and sat back to observe for myself if The Dark Knight lived up to the hype.
It surpasses it.
Seriously, if Ledger doesn't get the Oscar I will slash the tires of everybody who works for the academy awards. Sorry Jack, sorry Mr. Hopkins, Ledger just pulled off the greatest on screen villain performance, EVER. What solidified how deep Ledger was into this role for me was the one scene where he isn't in Joker make up. You actually see his normal face and yet you don't recognize him because he looks manic and insane, like the Joker. It was brilliant and creepy all in one. Christian Bale was no slouch but Heath Ledger stole the show. This movie was pure brilliance. It completely shattered every super hero movie stereotype. No over the top visual effects to distract the audience from a terrible script and wooden acting, no predictable plot with the good guys win eat your veggies moral. This movie was a masterful crime drama with thought provoking philosophical and political undertones, and holy crap plot twists. And it was dark people, very Dark. The atmosphere surrounding this movie left no crack for rays of sunshine, and I loved it. Die hard fans and miserable critics a like will orgasm to this movie. If you haven't scene it once yet, please do or forever wear the socially inept label. If you've scene it once, see it 3 more times. They could use the money....
