The Dark Knight (2008)

Category: Filmrecension |

On Thursday the previous week, the new Batman movie had premiere here in town. I went there with Pelle and Jonte (thanks for inviting me, bro!) and enjoyed like…3 hours of kickass action. Unfortunately the theater were hot like a motherfucker, so I didn’t really enjoy the last part of the movie as I would have if I had not sweated my ass off.

Anyways. This movie is by far the best one in the Batman universe. I can’t really recall all the details from those old ones, but I’m sure I liked this one more than any other Batman movie. Two reasons are the main ones for my praise of this movie:

1. It is dark. Really dark. Good people die and Batman shows more anger than in previous movies. I like this a lot.

2. The Joker. Heath Ledger (rest in peace) makes a great effort in characterising the main nemesis of Batman. I’ve never seen anyone portrait a bad guy as good as mr Ledger is doing in this movie. It’s almost like he is the main character of the movie – not Batman.

Damn he’s an ugly son of a bitch. But a great villain!

More than those two points above, the movie is filled with celebrities – celebrities that are great actors too; Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman and Christian Bale (of course). The action scenes are just great. Some of my friends have complained that there are too much action. How the hell can there be “too much” action in a Batman movie? There is no such thing as too much action. Ever. EVER!

Batman has also always circulated around his gear. You won’t be dissapointed this time either with all the fancy stuff he is wearing / using / driving / shooting etc. Just look at his bike in the picture below.

Furthermore you will also see the birth of a new supervillain in the DC universe towards the end of the movie (I won’t spoil who). If you’re a Batman freak you have to see this movie. Of course, if that would be the case then you’ve already seen it when reading this.

But if Batman is not your favourite superhero (as in my case) – or you’re not into superhero mumbo jumbo at all – go watch this superb movie anyways. The storyline, the darkness, the action, the car chases – it will surely blow you away. You should watch this in a theater though. Watching it at home on your 22″ screen won’t give you the same experience. I promise.

The Dark Knight is surely one of the best movies out there now. For real. What are you waiting for? Go see it now!

    Jag håller med dig till 100%. Fyfan vilken otrolig film, ett mästerverk, en episkt fulländad film vars enda syfte är att få oss filmnördar att komma i byxorna.

    Jag avgudar Heath Ledger, och kommer alltid att göra det. Wow!

    Den var bra, men inte SÅ bra. Jag hittade i vanlig ordning en del att gnälla på, frugan däremot håller med dig.

    @Claudio: Karin har bra smak när det kommer till den fronten. Du däremot, efter att ha läst det där, verkar mer och mer vara ett hopplöst fall ;) .

    Mördar’n! :D
