Watching Batman : The Dark Knight in Premiere Class was the best investment I have ever made. Heck, thinking back, if I was naughty that day, I’d strangle my bf and demand him pay for Gold Class! Lulz. And that means no Sushi Zanmai for me then since I spent all his money. Blardee hell. -_-

If I said Get Smart was funny and awesome, and Iron Man was one helluva watch, now thinking back, I think i over-estimated them. After watching Batman : The Dark Knight, I tell you man, you’d think the shows you’d ever watched were CRAPPY.

Yes, it’s good till this extent. My cinematic adventures started after I began a relationship with the bf, previously I never liked cinemas. But who would wanna give up a chance to hug their bf and cuddle and steal kisses in a dark dank dirty smelly cinema? Lulz.

So my experiences, compared to the average hardcore movie-goer, is definitely less. Therefore you must trust that I am giving my comments based on true and pure feelings towards the move, unbiased by anything except of my encounters with oh-so-few movies.

It’s a bit intimidating to write a review of my own, really. After reading one helluva write-ups from so many bloggers and movie reviewers, it’s scary but still I guess this movie still deserves a position here in Chaborkia.com to be reviewed. XD So here’s my share of the pie!

This movie is simply fantastic, my dears. I have always hated dark dank dirty smelly looking scenes where you just silhouettes of people running around, screaming their lungs out for their lives while the heroes of the movie move about, avoiding murder while 101 other random people get killed. For me this rocks as the scenes are pretty well-lit and I can see the action-packed details. Why lah do a movie when all I see is ghastly silhouettes moving about fighting the war to save the world while I keep squinting just to see the handsome bugger’s actor’s face?!!!!!11

And speaking of details, do note the intricacy they put in to make Batman’s outfit. Argh those abs… Can kill any sane-minded girl wei. The classiness exuding from Christian Bale (or Bruce Wayne) is so uncanny. The charm and swave that he put into forming Batman’s character? Great. But nothing surprising. What is he compared to the Joker?

Remember, as Joker said to Batman, “You complete me.“

My verdict is, although Joker outshone Batman himself in the movie, they DO have very different roles to portray in the movie.

The late Heath Ledger was the Joker for this sequel of Batman. Let’s start off with the makeup on the Joker… It’s all painted on and left to rot and slowly melt away as the action begins. So unlike the previous series where the Joker’s face is so well painted, you do not see any details on the face. Boring ain’t it? I assure you, anyone who thought of this new ’style’ of Joker is simply genius! It’s so realistic yet so dramatic. The greasy-haired thing… Whoaaaaaa… Gruesome man.

One of them, a polished high class young billionaire while the other, a maniacal nobody intent on bending society’s order.

This movie can really bend a person’s straight mind. To be honest, it’s hard to digest every single mind play they’ve thrown at us at the 2 hour 30 minutes of show-time. For a detailed listing of the ‘values’ exuded in the movie, I suggest you head over to other blogs. Not gonna pinpoint much about it. In a nutshell, it’s brilliantly packaged. Nothing too over the top, yet mind-boggling at the same time. The word plays that sets your brains at work is PURE genius. I have never imagined I’d be looking at a movie with depth rather than just blindly laughing off funny scenes and enjoy the action as I usually do. This really sets your brains kicking and makes you ponder stuff.

And Hong Kong’s landscape has never looked better in the hands of the director, Mr Nolan. Though it was smeared by the presence of a certain sex maniac called EDISON. I dunno whether should I be amused or disgusted. Look at his expression. Any fangirl will go: Oh, so cute. But still remember what he did to several dozens of girls? Yucks. It’s not that sex is dirty or whatnot shit, but please, if you can’t keep your rides with yourself, cut off your itchy dick lah.

This may seem absurb, but some of the Joker’s words… They’re exhilirating to think about, yet it just seems so wrong. The director blended in stuff that we usually overlook. Things that we dare not ask, or ponder about in our daily life, as we’re bred to think in the ‘correct’ social order. Do give a thought on the dialogs, I think it’s very well done. Well planned by the director, and well played by the actors. Bravo!

The show also gave us an insight of humanity at the scene where the passengers of two ships are to decide whether to destruct the other ship, or to sit there and die. Get it? A lose-win situation that no one in their right mind will ever want to be in. The result? Go watch loh.

And a moment’s silence as respect to Heath Ledger. I shrugged off people’s compliments about him being how great an actor he was before I watched the movie. But he really showed what a pro can do. Yet as I write this I feel an internal guilt wash over me. Was it because of the mind-deluding role of Joker, that drove the poor guy to insanity? I certainly hope not. But to be honest, when you submerge yourself into the world of Batman, you really get into a movie. That’s from an audience’s view. But if you were standing in his shoes, you need to do the tongue-licking thing, and really dwelve into character to present your best, what will happen to you then?

For me, getting the audience to deeply appreciate and experience the whole movie, now that’s the key essentials into what makes it a GREAT movie.

I can’t put it better than my fellow blogger friend, k0k, who gave this movie an absolute…

Heck, gonna watch it another time round with my buddies! Well worth every single cent spent on this show! Go watch!
