Not exactly why it’s amazing movies, but just the awesome touches. Obviously there are spoilers.
1. The pencil magic trick Everyone in the theater freaked out during this scene. It was so sudden and unexpected and just so downright evil in every sense of the word.
2. “Although I did bloody tell you so”
Even though this is probably the darkest PG-13 movie ever, it had little bits of humor that didn’t seem misplaced in any way. Alfred’s joke worked incredibly well for the scene.
3. The Batpod
Specifically the 360-wheel (it turns sideways also!) and the awesome wheelie up the building wall.
Despite being the most hyped movie of the summer, The Dark Knight was AMAZING!!!!! Yes, I said AMAZING!!!!! So, even though there are already a bunch of top 10 lists out there in regard to The Dark Knight, I will add mine to the mix…
1. Heath Ledger as the Joker
In playing the Joker, Heath Ledger was able to do something very unique - he was both funny and disturbing, even at the same time. It’s hard to explain, but in some scenes you laugh at him because he’s crazy and just weird but at the same time you’re disturbed that he this one man can cause so much damage just my rallying together the criminals.
2. Amazing action sequences
It’s not uncommon for movies these days to have amazing action sequences, but somehow both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight managed to fit in exhilarating chase sequences. And the one in The Dark Knight far surpasses the original. One word: Bat-moto-bicycle-tank-pod-thingy.
I’m seeing it tonight. 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and this amount of hype has made me way to excited.
