The Dark Night

It’s been a while since I has seen a movie on opening day, but I would have it no other way. Before I even get into my thoughts about the movie, YOU MUST go see this movie as soon as possible. You don’t want to hear about all the amazing parts from your friends now do you?

Me and my Dad went to the 11:00am showing and it was PACKED. People were standing. Just like the movie, I’m going to start off with a bang. Number 1: this movie is 2 hours and 22 minutes long but not for 1 second is there a lull in action or plot twists. Number 2: Heath Ledger is phenomenal. Thank god he got to finish this film before his passing, and what an amazing way to go out. No doubt in my mind he will receive awards for his roll. Number 3: THANK GOD again! Maggie Gyllenhaal replaces Katie Holmes in the roll of Rachel and brings a lot more personality to the character. She’s not just another bimbo. Number 4. Amazing action scenes with sequences that you’ve never seen before. Number 5. Have I mentioned Heath Ledger? He takes you on such a roller coaster of emotions in just one scene. Laughter to scared out of your mind even to the sense of feeling sorry for him. Number 6. I now see why the “sequel” to Batman Begins took 3 years to make. There are so many layers to this film that in my mind I keep remembering little snippets and scenes that stick with you. Very thought provoking. Number 7. GO SEE IT IN THEATERS! this is definatly NOT a movie that you can just brush off and say “ill rent it when it come out on DVD” NO! you have to go and appreciated it on a grand scale. best $5-$10 you’ll spend this summer, because I’m sure you don’t enjoy putting it in your gas tank.

6 out of 5 stars.
