The Dark Knight


I finally watched The Dark Knight. It was a blast. Exhilarating from start to end. It is the best superhero film I've ever seen. Performances were top-notched, the action was over-the-top and the ending was perfect. Everything fell into place with this one.
I watched this movie 2 weeks late because I didn't want to watch a movie in a congested cinema. So I've heard everything about it form my friends and trusty geeks. It was so mind blowing that one friend of mine, BJ, who usually never runs out of words, was speechless and unable to write a review about the movie. He described it in 2 words: MIND BLOWING. I also described it in 2 words: Visual Orgasm.
I've been hearing a lot about Heath Ledger's performance as Joker and I thought I got to see this for myself; and turns out, I was right. People were right. He turned in the most brilliant performance of his relatively short career. Watching him was a privilege.
The other actors turned in good performances as well.
Damn! I really must buy the DVD of this movie!!!
5/5 Stars for The Dark Knight. If you haven't watched it yet, stop reading this blog right now and go buy tickets or a dvd of the movie (depending on which applies)
