Anybody else as (admittedly nerdly and) excited to see The Dark Knight next week as I am? I've been waiting for it to open FOREVER! In fact, my friends and I just rewatched Batman Returns the other day in anxious anticipation. I want to go to the midnight show on Thursday, but some of my friends have to work the next morning (the horror!). So, I'm forced (out of loyalty to them) to wait to see it on Friday.
I'm really interested to see Heath Ledger's take on the Joker. I expect it to be a rather heavy flick. Oh I almost have goosebumps with anticipation!

I did find myself looking at my watch towards the end though, and I really didn't care for the role of two face. Isn't he supposed to be the next step in the series? So is he really dead? What's to stop the joker from escaping again? Of course, who else could really play that role now?!
I did like the role of the joker, and it was kind of odd to see batman almost take a back seat. His performance, pretty amazing. I loved his swagger and facial / mouth movements, what a role. Disturbing? Kind of, for me. Was almost scary to see how calous and ruthless he is, and just does things without thinking and for no real reasons. Even scarier that the world is actually like that, or at least some people. Even with as disturbing as he could be, it was also kind of funny. "I want to drive", or him walking around as the nurse. The carelessness was almost humorous too.

Ya, killing off Rachel, didn't see that coming.
Overall, I liked it.
Ledger stole the movie with his performance. The pencil disappearing act was harsh but VERY original!

I totally forgot about that...really grossed me out. But you're right - very original.
I may have to see this again after some time passes. Perhaps I'll have a deeper appreciation for it a second time around. I find that I am harsher on movies that have high expectations...
