THE DARK KNIGHT.

I don't think this is the official movie poster?
But I like this one the most :)

I went to watch Batman today, finally :P IT WAS SOOOO GOOD. Definitely lived up to it's expectations. Heath Ledger's performance definitely lived up to the hype too. I just thought people were saying that because he had passed away, but he proved that he deserves all the praise! All the other actors were great too, a lot of the limelight is on Ledger's performance as The Joker but Christian Bale (Batman) was great yet again! I must admit i spent 3/4 (or more) of the movie with my hands up to my face nearly covering my eyes!! I thought it was quite scary beacuse of the suspense build ups. But overall it was FANTASTIC and i would recommend for you to watch :D I want to watch it again!!!!!!!

Our movie started at 11.45am, but we were waiting outside the cinema at 11.30am and the door was open, so we just walked in and watched the ending of the movie that was showing before Batman, which was Mongol i think? But there was like 3 people watching :P Mongol ran overtime so Batman started late, boo! But still it was worth the wait :D :D :D

The best part of the movie for me was *A BIT OF A SPOILER HERE*
Highlight to reveal --> The Joker's pencil trick ; )


The Batman movies always seem to have very good one liner quotes that stick with you. Such as, from Batman Begins;
"Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up again."
&
"It's not who you are inside, but what you do that defines you."

From The Dark Knight;
"Why so serious?" - Personally I loved it when The Joker said this.
&
"Some men aren't looking for anything logical, some men just want to watch the world burn."
&
"You either die a hero, or live long enough to become a villian"
These were the ones that stuck with me the most.

Michael Caine who plays Alfred(Batman's Butler) was probably the perfect person to play the role. Actually all the actor's who played their respective characters were perfect. Katie Holmes who played Rachel Dawes in Batman Begins wasn't that great. Maggie Gyllenhaal was a major improvement :) And of course there was Heath Ledger was The Joker, he was so psychopathic, intriguing and funny! See he was so good that you laugh with the bad villian!

Anyways i shan't say any more! That is my opinion, which is very similar to everyone else's because it was sooo good that we are all just in a state of shock :P So for those of you who haven't watched it, GO WATCH IT NOW, btw don't be stingy bastard and wait for it to come out on DVD, IT'S WORTH THE MONEY!!! Cinematic experience is best ;)
