Last night, I took the family out to see the The Dark Knight. This movie had it all: action, drama and an all out thrill ride!
My son Luke really enjoyed the movie. His comment after the movie was “Heath Ledger has redeemed himself and I no longer look at him as a Gay Cowboy.” The entire theater busted out laughing.
Heath Ledger in fact did play the role of his life in this movie. If I were on the Oscar’s committee, it sure would be time to deal one out for an action movie. It sure is a shame that Heath Ledger couldn’t be around to see the excitement generated from his excellent role as The Joker.
As a kid, my all time favorite Batman villain was The Joker. I loved Jack Nicholson’s role as The Joker in the first batman movie and had my doubts about Heath Ledger pulling the role off. Much to my surprise, Heath played The Joker role to a new level and is now my favorite Joker character.
Characters are key to any film and it took The Dark Knight to help me really realize that Christian Bale is truly the best Batman I have seen yet. He portrays the dark character so well with his mysterious weirdness.
If you haven’t had a chance to see The Dark Knight, get to the theater, stand in line, get a ticket, and enjoy the movie. If you are any kind of Batman fan you will love this movie as I did.
