Let me clear my throat as I evoke the sound energy of 1000 lions roaring, where the vocals bellow out of my lungs with intense exodus as a say WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!That was hands-down the best comic movie adaptation I've ever seen. This is Heath Ledger's Legacy. Now I am not about to say any spoilers in this movie. It has been a while since i was this excited about a movie. This movie had everything. It was gritty, brood and dark as if accurately extracted from the brains comic book creators Bob Kane and Bill Finger. The writers of this movie were spot on. However, as you have probably already heard Heath Ledger stole the freaking show. He gave the best and most accurate adaptation of the Joker I have ever seen. It was damn unbelievable that the was the same guy who played a gay cowboy. LOL! This movie had me yelling yehaw. There were spectacular performances all around, great story, and beautiful cinematography. And Heath was phenomenal. His passing is an incredible shame as his performances have been truly unique. But we will get back to the Joker in a minute.Every major role in this movie was awesomely epic. It has been a while since you have seen so many actors in one movie give so much intensity and so much commitment to a project. Christian Bale has proven to be the best Batman I have seen period. He was charming yet stern and steadfast. Probably his best performance yet. He kept reminding you that he was in fact a human being, who has emotion, did not have super powers, and could be hurt. Similar to a reference from Wiki that reads, "Unlike most superheroes, he does not possess any superpowers; he makes use of intellect, detective skills, science and technology, wealth, physical prowess, and intimidation in his war on crime." Unlike a previous Batman depicted, that jumped from a plane from 20,000ft and landed on his feet ever so gently(circa 1997 " Batman & Robin"). HA!.
Aaron Eckhart gave a wondeful performance as Harvey Dent/Two Face. You are going to be astonished at his two performances. I am not going to say much but the makeup on him was SPOT ON!. His character was so dramtic and you felt so pulled in to him. It was unbelievable.
You also had Morgan Freeman(Lucious Fox), Gary Oldman(Commisioner Gordon), Maggie Gyllenhaal(Rachel Dawes), and Micheal Caine(Alfred) who all gave a unique and a phenomenal presence the entire film.
Even the damn Batmoble... I mean "The Tumbler" was awesome. That thing is beast. He also has this neat bat bike that just was just deadly. One thing that struck a cord with me, there was nearly no CGI present in the film. I mean every wreck and explosion was freaking real and amazing to view.
"Let's put a smile on that face!" Oh my god, the Joker. The anarchy he brings is so awesome. Heath Ledger has given his all in the character. There is never a dull moment. I really want to say so much more but many of you have not seen it. I mean it is a jaw dropping adaptation. It is such a pain to have lost such a wonderful person. This is his legacy. It is such a blessing to have seen him at his best. I wish more actors would bring this much of themselves into a role. That magic trick his does in this movie is hilarious and is exactly what you would expect from the joker. (You will know it when you see it.) Heath gives a legendary performance. He derserves an academy and oscar not because of sympathy for his death but just the impact of the role he took as The Joker.
I went to see this movie at a midnight showing, it lasted 2 1/2 hours, i didn't go to sleep until 3:45am knowing I had to be a work by 9am the following morning... and you know what? It was so worth it. If you miss this movie, you will be pretty upset that you didn't see it in the theater up close and personal for your viewing pleasure.
My rating system is pretty strict with a rating scale from a 1 to 5 .
The is a Severe Thunderstorm Rating! This is a very rare. Hopefully not the last time it happens. You pretty much get the picture. GO SEE IT!
