Filed under: Wanda and I finally went to see The Dark Knight tonight. The Batman films aren’t usually Wanda’s favorite kind of movies, but she wanted to see it because of Heath Ledger. As everyone said, he did an amazing performance. I liked the movie a lot – it was different from the other Batman movies, which was cool. I thought Christian Bale played a decent Batman, although I’m not sure about the raspy “in-suit” voice – perhaps that was part of his clever disguise. The movie was a little violent for kids, but I guess that’s why it’s PG-13.
I also saw a preview for the next Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. It looks like it should be good.
R.I.P. Heath Ledger
I also didn’t like the voice, but my presumption was that it was to disguise his voice as well. It was just way over the top. It’s been a long time since a movie has made me feel emotions like that. Pure awesome beginning to end.
