The Dark Knight... Our 'Take' On The Film....
Part 2 - Tina
Tina and I just returned from an early evening showing of the new Batman Film,
'The Dark Knight'.
I have already blogged on 'My Take in Part 1 of this 2 part review. Here is Tina's Take:
The Dark Knight Lights up the Silver Screen!
Seldom does a movie live up to its rave reviews. But The Dark Knight deserves all the praise it's garnering from the critics.
Top of the list is the amazing Heath Ledger as The Joker. He's menancing, maniacle and amusing, but fortunately his violence is off-camera, a wise directing choice.
If we'd seen him commit his many horrific acts of violence, well, it would be a little hard to laugh at his punchlines, no matter how well scripted they are.
And the weird makeup works -- it helps you forget that he's Ledger and you just see The Joker.
The cast is first-rate. I predict that this film will be a big hit with the movie audience at large just as it's winning over the mainstream critics.
Why? Great acting, lots of action and less special effects and CGI than in most "comic book" pics.
The Dark Knight really descends into the darkness of the human soul - not just Batman/Bruce Wayne's, but the white knight, Harvey Dent's, and that of everyday Gotham citizens who are tested by the Joker's challenges. Some are found wanting.
What makes the movie work for me, and the mainstream audience, is the great story, terrific script, hot action and amazing cast.
From the gasps, comments and exclamations from the audience, I could tell that certain aspects of the film were playing well with the hard core fans of the comic.
So, see it, enjoy it - and one warning - get to the theater early - there's gonna be a line!
-- Tina who scores it a 'Mint' 10.0 !
Well that's it for now from us here at Make It So Marketing on this new Batman Film. We'll probably go more in depth on it as the days wear on, just that we don't want to 'spoil' it for any of our blog readers!
Suffice to say that with Michael giving it a 9.0, and Tina giving it a 10.0 it's gotta be good!
