BELIEVE THE HYPE!

I know this is supposed to be a music blog of some sort but... fuck it.

BATMAN

Let me say this. I am a nerd when it comes to Batman. I collected the comic when I was a kid. The first Batman came out in 1989 when I was ten years old and it blow my little mind.

I went to the first midnight showing. Nerd.

Batman: The Dark Night is awesome. Everyone in this movie, down to Anthony Michael Hall in a small reporter role, is a star. It's a big Epic with a lot going on and it's worth every penny. The sweeping shots of the city with Batman in all his glory made me weep into the arm pit of the smelly fat guy sitting next to me dressed as The Joker.

Can I just say... Heath Ledger is amazing. If Jack Nicholson's Joker was a perfectly cooked steak then Heath's Joker was the whole cow. I barely recognized the actor and I love that kind of acting, when someone is so into the skin of a character that you forget who is playing them.

The movie has it's faults, it gets a little over complicated at the end and I had issues with what happens to Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). I wish some of these superhero movies would just stick to one villain and do it justice. It may not be perfect but god damn I was entertained and most importantly not let down by all the hype.

Go see it and let me know if you agree or not... cuz then we can have a talk.
