Review

I have to say, I was really skeptical before I saw this movie.  How could they redo a classic? I was very skeptical about anyone but Jack Nicholson playing the Joker… anyone can play Batman… but who can seriously do better than Jack? I have to say, Heath Ledger MADE the movie.

There are a couple of trival parts that I disliked in the movie, including Harvey Dent not being Africian American (like the original), Batman’s Voice (whats with the retarded raspy and angry voice?) and acouple of other random things that were missing from the movie that were big parts of the first movie.

All in all, I have to say that I loved the movie.  Heath Ledger did an outstanding job as the joker.  Between the licking of the lips, the voices he used and just the overall feeling that he was a complete and utter nut job made his role unforgetable.  Lets not forget the masquerade with the Nurse’s outfit… that is what took the cake for me.

As I stated previously, Christian Bale did a great job again as the Caped Crusader (except for the god aweful voice), but anyone can run around in a suit and be Batman… it doesn’t take too much talent.  I thoroughly enjoyed Heath in this movie as the Joker… that is what made the movie for me.

If you haven’t seen the Dark Knight… you really need to. I am going to the re-release in January… it is a great chance to see the great acting and all the special effects that made this movie so great.

Happy Watching!
