The Dark Knight

Review by Todd Hertz | posted 7/18/2008 12:00AM

The sequel to 2005's Batman Begins is the ideal summer blockbuster. It's got the hype, the explosions, and the mass pop-culture allure.

At the same time, The Dark Knight isn't a summer popcorn blockbuster. ...

yeah,I thought it was a great movie.Although did anyone else notice that after making this movie Heath Ledger overdosed on sleeping pills because he couldnt sleep after making this film? I mean,the guy got so involved with his part that he wouldn't respnd to anything but Joker when he was on the set. The fact that he couldn't sleep after making this film makes me think there's more than just a guy overdosing here.With how twisted the character he played was,I think the man got some Demons while he was playing the part.You can't get that involved with that twisted of a character and come out unscathed.He's already done the whole brokeback mountain thing.The man had issues. I wouldn't recomend seeing this movie with your younger children.

Truly wonderful ... so many things to ponder over and so much depth ... lots of meaning and lots of deep, dark truths and life challenges ... marvellous insight ... very real and extreme depictions of evil and good ...amazing movie! one idea still lingers ... doing good is a matter of consistency and selflessness, always giving and never receiving ...just like Christ .... The lesson that Batman learns is life-shattering and it completely changes him into a true hero ...Greatest hero movie ever ... no doubt about it!

These last 2 Batman movies are truly rich. However, one odd thing stands out in the DK. He takes the blame for things that werent true at the end. While it looks noble, he is covering up a lie. Did Jesus do this ever????
