A Knight To Remember

Hi everyone!
Today I learnt a very valuable lesson - sometimes you SHOULD believe the hype! I just finished wathcing Batman: The Dark Night, and it was pretty amazing. I know I said it would probably be rubbish and all that, but I guess it turned out to be good after all. A bit gruesome in places, I've got to admit, but on the whole it was incredible. great graphics, great scenery, great actors - Even Heath Ledger was good! Honestly, if I wasn't so used to supervillains by now, I'd be having some serious nightmares about him. And Two-Face, come to mention it. I'm glad they got Gotham nice and neat and tidy as well. It actually looks liveable-in now!
One thing that did annoy me, and I know it's kind of the nature of Batman being a bit of an anti-hero, but both movies now seem to have had very downbeat endings. I guess that was probably one of the things that put me off seeing TDK in the first place. And I guess the Joker's still out there somewhere. Or did they kill him after all? I'm confused. Nice touch about the people on the boats, though. Kind of optimistic... Well, as optimistic as Batman can be! Oh, that's the other thing - I thought Robin was supposed to be in it now as well...? Maybe the next one.
I don't think it was quite worth all the hype they gave it, but on the whole it is an incredible movie. I would still choose to watch Iron Man over The Dark Knight, but one thing's for sure - It is a movie you MUST SEE before you die. And Alfred is still the coolest character.

See ya 'round!
