Let me get over the rush first before deciding this for sure, but I'm going to say it's a high probability that "Dark Knight" is my favorite movie ever now. It certainly is the best movie I've seen since the LOTR trilogy wrapped up in '03. Well... I did love OOTP and I watch it obsessively. Hmmm. Okay, in the category of movies not involving wizardry... favorite movie.
I really can't get over Heath Ledger. He is grade A nasty in this movie - I found myself holding my breath during his scenes. I just had no idea what to expect next. Christian Bale, of course, does a fine job of balancing the likable, boyish bachelor with the the "here, I'll hand you your butt" vigilante. That Batman roar he does... nice. Please, sir, can I have some more? And what fine, chiseled cheeks you have!
Interesting story, outstanding characters (with the exception of Rachel... eh), fantastic editing, GREAT special effects... I love that Christopher Nolan doesn't do CGI - it makes for an in-your-face-hold-onto-your-butt-enjoy-the-ride movie going experience. Not even the tool next to me that has an insatiable need for attention - any attention mind you- could have dampened that movie for me.
All I can say is, Heath - RIP, buddy. You really poured it out on this one and it makes me sad that you aren't around to reap all the rewards you deserve.
Look at Batman's sweet ride!
