The Dark Knight: My review

Ah, the Dark Knight
I saw this movie first at midnight, and then I just had to see it again so I went with my friend and saw it less than 24 hours after. After seeing it twice I think I can better understand the movie to write a review, and let me tell you this is a movie that any comic-book hero fan/ Heath Ledger fan or action adventure fan would love to see.

The beginning started with a bank robbery by none other than the Joker himself, the scene was really intense and by the end we saw that every single one of the henchman were killed except for the masked Joker. The beginning few minutes was mostly just showing us the characters, a scene with Batman and a look a like, Harvey Dent and his girl Rachael Dawes, and a scene with Batman and Gordon. I'm not going to tell you the whole movie plot, but I will say that Heath Ledgers job as the Joker was unforgettable, his character was so demented and twisted that he killed just to "watch the world burn" he also killed with a knife for the sole reason of watching people's emotions before they die.

Besides seeing the Joker's character blossom, we also viewed Batman in all his glory, not only did we see intense action scenes but we saw a character we've all come to know and love. From seeing Batman in Hong Kong, him using his detective skills and Bruce Wayne showing off his playboy image. One of my favorite scenes is when he rammed his Lamborghini into two cars to save someone, and when asked about it he pretended to be trying to catch a light.

One other thing I must say is about a foreshadow to the next movie, when Lucius Fox and Bruce Wayne where talking about Bruce's costume Lucius tells him it'll protect against dogs (Batman got attacked by dogs) but something that was very random was when Lucius said it'll also protect against Cats. Possible Catwoman appearance? I'd like to hope so, and having her or the riddler (I'd prefer both) in the next Batman movie would be a very interesting thing to watch.

If you saw any other foreshadows or have anything else to say, please comment!
