The Dark Knight {Batman}

The American Psycho. As Batman.

For me, it didn't work. Christian Bale, in my humble opinion, didn't step up to the plate like his predecessors who have played the hero. He seemed to be trying way too hard. Conversely, Heath Ledger brought a new brand of insane to the joker. When he was on screen, he made you forget to compare this Batman rendition to the previous films. He made you realize that this is not part of those, but independent.

The story in this movie twists and turns, and Christian Bale really needs to bone up on his Bruce Wayne; this guy played Bruce as cocky and somewhat self absorbed; something the character has never been.

The action scenes are fantastic, and the special effects are fun; I really liked the way they made Harvey Dent {Aaron Eckhart} look after his accident. It's wicked.

All in all I give Dark Knight 3 stars: because I truly had higher expectations for this movie.

Check it out on the IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/ .

And until next time, may the popcorn be hot, may the Pepsi be nice and refreshing, and may your movie be all that you want it to be! :)
