how about we don't camp it up
Jul. 25th, 2008 12:05 amOh my god. Dark Knight. Still reeling from it, and to think I'd pretty much decided I wasn't going to enjoy it...
That was intense. And traumatic. Relentless, remorseless.. it's halfway to being very hard to watch, if only because they keep throwing the action and ethics and characters at you with no let up, just wave on wave of cool stuff and trauma.
Christian Bale was somehow much more sympathetic this time around (the spoiled brat thing last time got annoying), even with the whole assault charge thing... like everyone else (except Maggie G) he totally disappears into the character. And he's actually quite adorable, this time...
Think a repeat viewing will be in order, if only to get all the plot straight in my head. Man, that was intense.
Note to self, do not go home and try watching the Tim Burton 1989 version. It's like a frikkin' pantomime in comparison.
