The reeealy Dark Knight

(spoiler free)

Wow, where to start. I was unsure whether to believe the hype going into the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight. But go ahead and believe it. The movie is great, Ledger's performance as the Joker is truly insane, and when a movie keeps you guessing as to what will happen, I rank it as wonderful.

I must say that this is a dark, violent movie and a PG-13 rating is just about right - I wouldn't take anyone under 14 to it I think.

I give it a full ticket price with the added review that I will probably see it again - perhaps at the IMAX.


(Note: The movie was filmed in the IMAX format and then shrunk to fit a normal screen)

I haven't seen it, but, from what I've read about it, only portions of the film were shot in IMAX. Not the whole shebang. Still, I suppose if I ever get over my ennui caused by the media's hyping this sucka to death, I would want to see the IMAX presentation.

Very true - good call! (I had to go back and re-read some of the article I liked on wired.( http://www.wired.com/entertainment/hollywood/magazine/16-07/ff_darknight )
