The Dark Knight


but why ?

this movie was not bad, but far from great !

Here in france, it gets insane rating from the critics and the public and considering the sales WW, it seems a lot of peole enjoyed this movie !

Lets see:

  • Action was fantastic for a PG-13 movie
  • The special effects and scenery were incredible
  • Heath Ledger plays one of the most evil and crazy villans of all time
  • MICHAEL CAINE!
  • Two Face had one of the most incredible transformations from good guy to villan
  • Hong Kong. Hong Kong was awesome

Don't get me wrong, there are other movies from last decade that are really close, IMO to TDK like ROTK, Gran Torino, Wall-E, Kill Bill Vo. 1, 300, and Inglorious Basterds are really great choices for the 2000's as well, with ROTK being a hair away from TDK.

However, as an American, you grow up with Batman. Like Superman and Spiderman, he is one of our most iconic figures. You take Batman, who was at times a very campy superhero (except for the one futuristic TV show...can't remember the name of that one), and turn him into this almost-evil superhero is nothing less than 'holy crap!'.

Oh, plus I saw it in IMAX. TDK was one of the first movies, along with Avatar, to really push the IMAX format. Movies are just better in IMAX...Something I don't remember ROTK or the rest of the LOTR series having.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
