Movie MarauderThe Dark Knight
January 19th 2009 15:25
I have always been such a huge fan of Batman. I mean seriously, he is the only "super" hero that doesn't have any actual powers, he just has all the coolest gadgets and is in peak physical condition to enable him to do all the stunts that he does. It makes one wonder if perhaps they too could become a secret vigilante, protecting the streets from villans...
...but I digress.
"The Dark Knight" was a fantastic movie, really. If you have been a fan of Batman all these years and if you happen to enjoy the eye candy of such gentlemen as Aaron Eckhart and Christian Bale, you'll definitely love this movie.
It is a darker tale than most of the others, with a less than happy ending. It sets the scene nicely however, to make another installment. We start with Batman's internal and external struggle as Batman by night and Bruce Wayne by day. He is suffering from this double life and is warned repeatedly to ease up. But he is a hero and the city is in desperate need of a hero. Batman/Bruce finds what he believes to be a light at the end of the tunnel however, in a man named Harvey Dent who is the new DA for Gotham. He is out to make the city better just like Batman, but can be in the public eye, unlike Batman. So Bruce puts a lot of hope and effort into creating Gotham's White Knight in Harvey. The anarchist mastermind, the Joker, has other plans for Gotham and for Harvey and Batman however. Meanwhile and on a more personal note, Batman's love Rachel is now dating Harvey, which is obviously hard for him, but he is all about the greater good.
I really can't tell anymore. This is such an excellent movie that I would hate to spoil it. Go and rent it or put it on your Netflix list if you haven't seen it yet because it is mind-blowingly awesome folks!
