Ok, lets see. Where to start…
- Visually very impressive – dark, graphic and realistic. Hi Chicago.
- Bales ‘Batman voice’ grates on my nerves – even more than Michael Keatons did. It’s ok though, as the ‘Terminator 4′ trailer had me at hello.
- Ledger was good…not worthy of all the buzz, but he played the part well against what he had shown to be capable of doing previously.
- Harvey Dents ‘Two Face’ makeup was outstanding and creepy.
- The hospital explosion was bad-ass and made me grin like a madman.
- Maggie Gyllenhaal is way too weathered and weary to play Rachel. Shouldn’t be a problem in the future though, eh?
I’m reading now that it did over $155 million – a new record. Probably earned every penny, but I wonder what it would have pulled in had Ledger not died?
