WHY SO SЭRIOUS? - A Quick Review of The Dark Knight

precisely...


"Let's put a smile on that face!" - The Joker

Indeed he will! Oh my... I am absolutely dumbstruck. It was bloody brilliant! And with a 94% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes, I'm not surprised. I figured that spoilers are not worth mentioning here, as it is crucial that you reveal the movie's magnificent plot by yourself. Worries aside, let me begin.

The best part of the film is the Joker himself. It seems like the Joker, not Batman, is the central character in the film. He really is a devious, lunatic and crafty freak! His pranks and jokes are so very well conceived. His speeches are particularly eloquent. So persuasive that it even corrupted Gotham City's White Knight. Like he personally said, he is certainly the better class of criminal that the city deserves. It's a pity that Heath Ledger's longer here today. What a waste...

The cast for the movie was quite remarkable. With William Fichtner making a short scene in the prologue. There's also this Singaporean, Chin Han, who stars as a Honkie baddie and appears on-screen for a considerable length of time.

Definitely a must-watch for movie buffs. A record setting $66.4 million opening can't be wrong! I feel that The Dark Knight will be, if not, be one of the strongest contenders for the film of the year. Given so, it has my seal of approval and a 5/5 rating.

It's all... part of the plan,
T'ang
