Thanks to my friend Bryant Bone, who has found me this awesome review for "The Dark Knight", I am very much excited for the movie. The review is simply beautifully written, and I hope you can also understand why I am excited. If for nothing else, the review is worth reading for the masterful language it uses to help you visualize the movie. Here's an excerpt to aid you in reading the review:
The Dark Knight creates a place where good and evil — expected to do battle — decide instead to get it on and dance. "I don't want to kill you," Heath Ledger's psycho Joker tells Christian Bale's stalwart Batman. "You complete me." Don't buy the tease. He means it...
...
I can only speak superlatives of Ledger, who is mad-crazy-blazing brilliant as the Joker. Miles from Jack Nicholson's broadly funny take on the role in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman, Ledger takes the role to the shadows, where even what's comic is hardly a relief. No plastic mask for Ledger; his face is caked with moldy makeup that highlights the red scar of a grin, the grungy hair and the yellowing teeth of a hound fresh out of hell. To the clown prince of crime, a knife is preferable to a gun, the better to "savor the moment."
How could you not want to see the movie?
