The Dark Knight

Rating:★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Action & Adventure
The best part of The Dark Knight is whenever the Joker would threaten to slice open someone's cheeks with a knife and one begins to wonder if he will actually do it or not. What I will say next is hardly original nor eloquent but, man, Heath Ledger is amazing as the Joker.

The rest of my review could be summed up in six bullets:

  • Ooh! Lotsa explosions.

  • My Dog, Maggie Gyllenhaal is ugly.

  • Why was everybody else a clown compared to the Joker?

  • Well, at least there was Morgan Freeman.

  • It's sad that Heath Ledger died.

One last thing though. The nurse outfit was perversely sexy.

this is a review, no matter how short it is - you can't get read it without taking a bit of spoiler. and anyways, i didn't give away anything substantial about the movie, did i?

Windtalker Shadow said...

the lips. that's something substantial. LoL

Monkey Boy is Hungry said...

dude, you see that on movie posters and promotional photos. that is a promotional photo. where's the spoiler in that? or you mean the threatening to slice people's cheeks bit? well, that's hardly a spoiler. i didn't tell you that the joker tried that on alfred, hahaha.

Windtalker Shadow said...

jay pangilinan said...

Monkey Boy is Hungry said...

Windtalker Shadow said...

hmm... nurse outfit... monkeyboy, kinda reminds me of this thing i put on when i used to be at PS. remember the shitty stunt i pull off? LoL

Monkey Boy is Hungry said...

you didn't dress up like a woman nurse, did you?

joonee v2g said...

From A Knight's Tale to The Dark Knight..Heath Ledger rules! (well, at least on the other side)

bakit 3 stars lang for you? i want to know kasi you have more geek knowledge than i do, and i loved everything about this movie.

Windtalker Shadow said...

@1980: dude... did you ever see me in women's clothes? i was practically seen by some people naked but never in women's clothes, nor would i have any desire dressing myself in them ever. LoL

Monkey Boy is Hungry said...

hay, watch the movie na nga lang so you'd know what i'm talking about!

Monkey Boy is Hungry said...

because it was just an okay batman movie. i mean, heath ledger's joker was awesome but that's really just the only thing i liked in the movie. i could get a fix on violent explosions from any other movie and all, but i just thought the batman movie was just lacking.

besides, a movie about batman where batman himself is one of the most blah characters isn't really a great movie.

@1980: on friday... :)

I haven't seen this film but I have heard mixed reviews for it. All the good ones point out Heath Ledger's performance, and all the not so good ones point out the screenplay.

Monkey Boy is Hungry said...

for a batman movie, it was funny how batman was the least engaging character.

Jersey Robles said...

I wonder if this was the real reason why Bale went berserk recently...
... he seems a bit disturbed when people praise the movie because of Heath's performance and not his.

Monkey Boy is Hungry said...

they should've pointed out to him that the gravelly bat-voice did not sound intimidating and scary at all, if that was his intention. he was better as bruce wayne, really, which is ironic; bruce is supposedly the alter ego.

Jersey Robles said...

lol! Did he really use a gravelly voice when he's bat-man? That's weird. He should have learned from the previous cheesy batman flicks in the past. Gravelly voice didn't do Val Kilmer any good.

Windtalker Shadow said...

he could've just considered using either Charlie the Unicorn's voice, or the other half-braindead peers of Charlie's instead. LoL
