I guess I’m a bit too late with this one since everybody already blogged about the awesomeness that was
The Dark Knight. I don’t even know where to begin with my review. After watching it I was like… Hoemyfuckinggawd! I was fucking speechless ya’ll. The best movie I’ve seen EVER!
It had all the required elements for a superhero flick: explosions, crashes, chase scenes and superb fighting sequences. But all those are only secondary to the brilliance of the
Nolan brother’s story and screenplay. Brilliant I tell you. From the showstopper bank robbery in the beginning to Batman’s self realization in the end was *sigh* flawless. It had so many twists and subplots that will keep you on the edge of your seat up to the very end.
Christian Bale reprised his role as the caped crusader and
Maggie Gyllenhaal was a vast improvement in replacing
Katie Holmes. But the scene stealers were the cocky
Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent and the amazing
Heath Ledger as the “embodiment of pure irrational evil” Joker. But the big surprise for me was the quickie cameo of the scandal ridden Asian superstar
Edison Chen. I was so shocked! Haha. When he came out, the cinema was really quiet mind you, and I shouted (
oo sigaw) “OMG.
Diba si Edison Chen
yun?” Kam was like...
"Sino?" Haha. Even though he appeared for only five seconds I immediately recognized him. And yes, I still have his sex scandals in my hard drive.
By the time we went home Kam and I were still hung over from the Dark Knight. We’re both big
Batman fans since we were kids. We’ve seen almost all the different versions both live action and animation. She was disappointed with Miss Gyllenhaal though and for about an hour we only discussed on how much she resembled a cow. Haha. And then the conversation led to comparisons with
Rizal’s
Crisostomo Ibarra. Yes, we also philosophized everything.
Hay nako.
Anyway, I urge ya’ll to watch the film. It’s really really really fucking good. This is the year’s best so far. And after Heath Ledger's exceptional performance, I predict the incoming runways will be filled with purple suits.
Why so serious? Toodles!
