I reviewed it too, but nowhere near as concisely as you.<BR/><BR/><BR/>As I was leaving the theater I looked at my brother and said that it was such a shame that Heath died because I don't know who could ever replace him. He completely & totally embodied that character.<BR/><BR/>Just about everyone who showed up in that movie was amazing. The end just killed me though. Gary Oldman was amazing as the Commisioner. This time around, you got to see his heart. :0Bridget Lockehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215550820824744529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-45456647655232527752008-07-21T22:21:00.000-04:002008-07-21T22:21:00.000-04:00I HAVE to see this movie....

You do The Da...WOW Katie, what an excellent review. You do The Dark Knight proud!<BR/><BR/>I LOVE the significance of the three posters, especially in the case of Harvey Dent, in retrospect as well. <BR/><BR/>><I>The Dark Knight is a very, very dark picture. There is so much death and destruction, and the funny thing is, The Joker is responsible for the set up, but he places the decisions in everyone else’s hands, and not his own.</I><BR/><BR/>Excellently put. This is the true power of the Joker (well, then we see at the end there IS light at the end of the tunnel, to keep it from being all out depressing--humanity does have hope and strength and is worth saving); but the Joker's twisted games play on human nature ruthlessly. He is the catalyst, and manipulates everyone chillingly. *shivers* Heath Ledger did a bang up job. I didn't even recognize him in this movie, his role was so complete.<BR/><BR/>><I>Forget about Michael Keaton; Christian Bale has really succeeded in this role where Michael hasn’t.</I><BR/>Welcome to the dark side, baby! Christian Bale is the ultimate Batman. It's not easy to sell a man in a rubber suit, but he DOES it. <BR/><BR/>And I second your praise of Aaron Eckhart. Damn he was good. This really is just a stunning piece of acting from EVERYONE involved, and a killer movie because of it. I'm making plans to take my sis to watch it again, in IMAX ;)Theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11138984974139025278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-15961218078559072102008-07-21T15:58:00.000-04:002008-07-21T15:58:00.000-04:00Okay now that I have calmed down I have to say I r...Okay now that I have calmed down I have to say I read your review to my co-worker and she thought it was well written.
