Brett Long’s review of The Dark Knight

August 29, 2008

Amazing in every way, left me craving more, a true master piece, a breath taking ride from start to finish….

The only movie that I didn’t think, was “too short”. Its the best 3 hours i’ve ever spent in the theater, so i suggest , if you don’t already, get surround sound and maybe, and if you’ve got money “laying around” go get yourself a nice big flat screen tv, because your going to need it to get even half of the experience you would have, or did get , from the theaters.

With the late Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart virtually teaming up against gothams caped crusader, and even the mobsters of gotham. “Complete Chaos” is unleashed and our hero must make a tragic choice.

Aaron Eckhart deserved much more credit/screentime than he did get, our late Heath Ledger shadowed the mans performance without purpose. But I must say for the time I did see two face I was blown away. Visuals did a great job, but it was kinda like looking at another “Mummy”.

Our Hero “The Batman” is surely tested in this epic rollercoaster ride of a movie, we see the confident Bruce Wayne, The naive Bruce Wayne, and even the scared Bruce Wayne, Christan Bale did a wonderful job at batman this time around.

Finally, the part you’ve been waiting for, my opinion of “The Joker”… Heath surely did put the joker in his place in his portrail of “The Joker”. Heath shows us a virtually “blank” man who seems to have no motives, connections , respect, honor, or sence, but he always has a plan. The Joker is batmans “match” ,batman must go to incredible lengths and think behond what he sees to defeat the menising Joker. So all in all, the movie kept me in suspence, and amused the whole way through.

My Final Verdict, contrary to popular rating, i’m giving it a 9.2,
Thanks for reading my unprofessional, Dark Knight Review
