I saw the new Batman flick this morning, and it is a runaway freight train of awesome. This movie should never be viewed by anyone under the age of 15 (sorry Mitchell), it’s just too intense. The action, the twists to every scene involving the Joker, and violence are very adult in sensibility. Removing actual blood and gore from the violence almost makes those scenes scarier working through the prism of your imagination mixed with everything you know of the Joker.
All of the actors excelled, especially Ledger, and I felt everyone got enough screen time. Though I guess they would have to at a run time of over 2.5 hours. Real life special effects mixed with hardcore cops vs. crime storytelling and a little comic book flair make for a damn fine movie.
Great stuff.
