Re: The Dark Knight
borrowed partial review from IMDb,
and I have to say I agree 100% with it.
I couldn't find my own words of how amazing it was, so here are another person's words:
"I thought Batman Begins was a very well conceived and put together movie.
But after seeing The Dark Knight, Batman Begins will forevermore be viewed (by me at least) as a handy little prologue to a FRICKIN' MASTERPIECE of a superhero film.
To say it's the deepest mainstream comic adaptation ever produced would be akin to calling the Nolan/Ledger Joker 'a bit eccentric'.
What engages us most is the characters, and, while the script is brilliant (the dialogue is sharp, and quite funny for the first two-thirds, before the drama really kicks in), this mainly comes down to the cast.
Christian Bale. Solid and committed as always. He gives the character LIFE, and actually makes us feel for him. The word 'tortured' keeps coming to mind...and I suppose it's pretty appropriate.
Heath Ledger.
After seeing Heath at work...Jack Nicholson (who once seemed so awesome) just looks...well...lame.
If you've seen it, you hopefully get what I mean. If you haven't...you need to. You will discover the true definition of commitment.
Maggie Gyllenhaal. I didn't have any problem with Katie in the first one (at the time), but I doubt she could have pulled off the more emotional stuff Rachel goes through here. Maggie, she rocks.
The whole thing is just a big bag of thoughtful, well-executed entertainment."

Re: The Dark Knight
I will not agree with the Jack Nicholson part. He was a good joker too.

it's not that he is not good,
it's that he pales in comparison.

Re: The Dark Knight
You didn't say anything about Two-Face. Aaron Eckhart was great. Much Darker and better than Tommy Lee Jones.

Re: The Dark Knight
Two Face,
I thought he did an excellent job!!
question remains,
is he dead? or was the funeral a cover up?

Re: The Dark Knight
I personally don't want him to be dead. I would also like to see The Riddler and Catwoman in the third part.
I will not speak about The Joker.
