Batman The Dark Knight- 10
Overall the movie was amazing, another great performance from Christian Bale and by far the most outstanding performance from Heath Ledger. Ledger's Joker was spot on and by far one of the best characters played in a movie in a long time. Overall I place the Dark Knight in my top 3 movies of all time, and Ledger's performance as one of the best I have ever witnessed.

I give the Dark Knight an 8.3. It was a really good movie, but I think it got hyped up too much. I wanted more out of the ending.

last movie i saw: dark knight
for my NS blog: https://www.newschoolers.com/web/content/blogs/jid/1081/eid/2816/
With
$155 million this weekend, and first on IMDB with scores of 10 it was hard to
find anyone that had anything negative to say about the movie. If you look back
at the earlier reviews though there is a good page and a half of people
trashing the movie, and while I agree with some of their points I have written
this to try to give the least unbiased perspective, from neither a batman nerd,
and dark batman movie hater, to express a movie that will I am sure be remember
as a great one for many, many years.
So the circumstances surrounding this
movie with Heath Ledgers death provoked a lot of extra hype around this
movie, especially around joker’s performance, so I tried to go into the movie
with as little bias, and believing that it was no more than hype. Even as
leaving the theater I told my brother I would have to sleep on it and let it
sink in so I could properly critique it in the morning.
I believe that it
was well written and thus causing the acting to be decent. Some of the story
was a bit iffy to me, for example I would have liked to have heard more about
the jokers background as it provoked at lot of interest to see what were the
things in his life to drive him to such antics. You have to have a dark sense
of humour to enjoy some of his antics (hospital scene). Some of the plot didn’t
make perfect sense either to me. For instance when batman decided to save
Harvey Dent rather than his ex Rachael, when they were running from the building
about to blow up I would have thought they would have been sprinting for their
lives but it didn’t seem like that, batman didn’t even try protect him really
or anything, they barely if jump away, and thus causing Harvey to become two
face.
As for time, I must be honest and say a
few times I did wonder how long it would continue only that because of the
intense scene where I was amazed at how much longer it could continue, although
Heath performance was great and yes he will win at least one Oscar, I would
have liked to see more appreciation for Dent (two face). His acting was great
as well. As for Christian as batman his acting wasn’t superb I didn’t see
anything from him that really surprised me but overall the action kept me in my
seat through the full 2 hrs and 30 mins (roughly) and will definitely be a
movie to live on in its epicness
As for Heath Ledger, to go out on a
role, well its not really possible to go out on a role bigger than this, as it
doesn’t get any bigger, seeing him in the last few scenes you had to think to
yourself would this be the last scene he would ever be filmed in? To say the
least you cant get any bigger than his last role really and ill admit he played
his character very well, and I’m sure he’ll always be a legend.
I'd like to close by saying, out of 10 i would give this movie 9,
not a 10, because although this is a very special movie, and will live
on as an epic one by most, the movie had to have been perfect, and
perfect it was not.
ENJOY!

Ocean's 13 - 7.8
All I have to say is that George Clooney and Brad Pitt are awesome. And the two brothers are pretty legit also.

Dark Knight-9.999999999/10
It was an insane movie with sick everything. Special effects incredible and everything. The only thing i disliked about it was the length. I got sick of it for a little and they needed to end a little bit earlier but still a super sick movie and would recomend it to anyone and everyone

Well I watch a lot of movies, so I'll do a couple recent ones.
El Infant, this is a french film about a young couple who have a baby out of wedlock. The father is a street punk and cashes in by selling the baby. It's all subtitiles but there isn't much dialouge. 8/10
An American Crime, 6/10 based on a true disturbing story of Sylvia Likens, she was held captive in a basement and tourtred to death. The movie stars Ellen Page(Juno). This is actually the second movie I've seen based on this case, the other one; The Girl Next Door is much more graphic, but I'd give it a 5/10.
The Tracey Fragments 8.5/10 this movie also stars Ellen Page, it's edited very differntly. The movie is almost all split screens, at first it's a little annoying but once you get past the uniqueness of it the technique pays off.Â
Mama's boy 6/10, john heder, kinda funny.
Love Liza, Philip Seymour Hoffman, 6.5/10 a mildly entertaining movie about a man who loses his wife and then becomes addicted to huffing rc plane fuel. It doesn't really go anywhere, but it's still an alright movie.

Bahahah....
I'd give Pineapple express an 8.5. It was hilarious... but not necessarily as good as Superbad (or
Sarah Marshall... but this one is my favorite from Apatow so far).
Dark Knight? 9.8
