I saw The Dark Knight on Friday night with Dani and Chris from game club
We went to the 10:50 showing and they had to open up another theater to house the people seeing the movie.
As always, I snuck food in and almost got caught …but didn’t. Apparently, Regal is VERY relaxed on their big bag policy.
So, the movie.
Well, the way I normally analyze movies is if they are worth the ticket cost.
The Dark Knight is worth the 7.50 I spent to see it, the 5$ Medium soda WAS NOT (boo-urns)
Heath Ledger performs the role like I had not expected…even with seeing previews. The Joker in this is simply not a character, but an idea (and ideas are bulletproof…wait…wrong movie). The joker gets smacked around and keeps getting up for more. It is difficult to tell if this Joker is crazy and is doing everything an hour at a time or how far ahead he’s planning.
Arron EckHart performs the role of Harvey Dent good enough, but not spectacular. The effects for the bad half of his face look just like a real life version of the cartoon.
The movies feels, and is, long..simply because the plot lines re SO HUGE.
This is not like in PotC in which their are 100 simultaneous plot lines…there are like 3 huge ones
Overall Score:
5/5 “Value of ticket”
2.5/3 Characters
.5/1 Explosions/Gun fights
.5/1 Misc.
8.5/10
VERDICT: Good enough to see twice and own
