Matinee With the Dark Knight
Due to technical difficulties I didn’t get to the midnight showing of the Dark Knight. Ultimately it doesn’t matter whether I saw it at 12:01 a.m. or eleven hours later, except for maybe bragging rights amongst my peers. With that said, the Dark Knight is the rare flick that actually lives up to its prerelease hype.
Without giving too much away I will say that the Dark Knight was better than Iron Man and X-Men 2, which DPC.com considers to be two of the best comic book based movies to be released in recent memory, and Heath Ledger’s performance is as good as advertised. A part of me assumed that the reviews of Ledger’s performance were tainted by his untimely passing but his take as the Joker is a legit and is definitely worth an Oscar bid. DPC.com is quite biased toward Ledger but that tendency aside, the dude scared me as the Joker.
