Did anyone go and see the Dark Knight this weekend?
Here's my opinion: this is one of the finest superhero movies yet. It's completely taut and well-executed, except for the ending which is completely illogical. Heath Ledger has a unique take on the Joker. Whether you like it or hate it, you have to admire the performance. Personally, I loved it (and as a comics fan, I was fully expecting to hate it). It's quite different from Nicholson or any version you'll find in the comics. My psychiatrist friend explained to me that the sucking noise that the Joker makes when talking is a sign of someone who has been on anti-psychotic drugs for a long time. Just a little detail, but perhaps emblematic of the work Ledger put in to make the role so memorable.
Also, this film is absolutely not for children. It will give them nightmares. I have no idea why this movie wasn't rated "R," as it's full of sadistic violence. Best summer movie I've seen so far, waaay better than Indiana Jones, Prince Caspian, or Wall-E.
