The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight is a must see movie. I tried to watch it online but the media player kept buffering, starting, and stopping. Trying to watch it online, it did not seem like it was going to be a good movie. The movie color was faded and the movie seemed slow and long. All I could see was a bunch of clown masks and men trying to rob a bank. There were too many guys trying to be Batman. I could hardly tell who was who. My father called and told me that someone told him the movie was a great movie. He thought that we should take a chance and go see it.

When we got to the movie theater, it was long and interesting all the way through. There was a surprise in the movie. The character, Harvey, became Two-Face. To me, he was meaner than the Joker, but I will not spoil the surprise by telling you everything.

Batman showed a real angry side this time. He was really beating the Joker up. The Joker was so crazy that he didn't seem to feel it. The public sees Batman as a vigilante and the policemen chases Batman in the end. It was something that had to be done, though Batman had done nothing wrong. I did not care much for his disguised voice, but Christian Bale's performance was great playing Batman.

The Joker was really a crazy guy. His make-up was awful. It looked as if someone just colored his mouth with lipstick over two splits. The Joker made some people laugh in the theater. Heath Ledger has played the Joker wonderfully. I liked Jack Nicholson way of playing the Joker, but Heath Ledger seemed as if he was truly the Joker. The look that was on his painted face is what the character he played.

The actors that played Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), the Lt. James Gordon (Gary Oldman), and Alfred Pennyworth (Michael Caine) also played very well in the movie. The street scenes were very exciting. I think the movie deserves 10 ½ stars.
