kill the batman

i was fortunate enough to catch a matinee showing today of "the dark knight". even though i barely got sleep the night before, this was a crucial moment and i just had to wake up. let me just say, it disappointed me. everything about it was just hype and it brought NOTHING to the table. JKAY KIDS. omg, this movie is probably the best movie i have ever seen. it is so psychologically damaging and messes with your head so much. heath ledger played an amazing joker. and i don't simply say that just because he has passed away [rip]. he seriously put so much into the rold and did a fantastic job. i was floored by his appearance. at times, i couldn't even fathom that he would play such a role and embodies it so well. plus the use of his makeup was astonishing. because, if you have watched the batman with michael keaton and jack nicholson, the scare factor was there. but, the fact that his make up is basically dripping off his face just makes it so frightening. what also got to me was the way he spoke and licked his lips. it was so eerie. it was as if he was staring straight at me and talking to me. i was so disturbed by it. i want to disect joker's personality. but i don't want to ruin it for others. if anyone has watched it though, i'm totally up for discussion. cause i have that nerdnes in me. harvey dent was also a great character who added a lot of depth to the movie. i love this movie so much. i want to watch it again. i think one of the best lines in the movie is: "you either die a hero or live long enough to turn into a villian" -harvey dent. i think it's a good sum of the story and the struggles of good and evil in the batman series. also, i loved christian bale. minus the weird husky voice he does when he is batman, he's damn sexy. especially on a motorcycle.if they do continue with this, i am excited to see who will fill the shoes of heath as the joker. i would also like to see the introduction of freeze and ivy. maybe even the riddler. but please, no robin. i think with the "seriousness" of this film, a robin is not needed. whatever you want to call him. overall, i give the dark knight an A ++++++++ because it was damn amazing. and i want to spend another 10 bucks to see it again. yeah, it's that fucking good.
