07-19-08Well bOoGiE and I got together and took our better halves to the newest Batman movie "The Dark Knight." It was a lengthy movie with a lot of exciting drama and unexpected twists. They pulled off some things that I didn't expect, which in most cases was very good. It definitely lived up to it's title of being "Dark" at the same time not messing up the core of the Batman character. Ledger's performance of the Joker was impressive. I honestly didn't think anyone could stand a chance against Jack Nicholson's version of the character, but Ledger went for a different angle instead of a re-hash, which makes it very interesting. I think that both Ledger and Nicholson were both great at it, but just from two different approaches. They did honor Ledger's memory in the credits, an honorable thing. There are a lot of twists and turns that make you keep guessing during the movie, and several scenes that are not expected. Bale did a great job as Batman, I think he plays the role very convincing. I would not recommend this film for small children, it is violent, gory, and has some demented villains. But for adults who enjoy modern takes on comic book characters, epic drama, and action films; it was very good. On the Woo-Dig-It scale from "0" to "10", i'd have to give it an 8. Very good job! What's next after Watchmen, DC? We need some Green Lantern, WonderWoman, Flash, and JLA. Let's get 'er done!
