The Dark Knight

This was a very good movie! It did live up to the hype!

This is a movie that was better than the trailers showed. The chemistry between Bale and Ledger was just combustible to watch and you kept waiting for it to explode!

Gary Oldman was astounding once again as Jim Gordon and you just want this man to be your relative. He is rock solid and someone you can just trust. A far cry from his portrayal of Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy.

Aaron Eckhart was outstanding as Harvey Dent/Two Face. In fact there really wasn't a weak link in the acting department, directing department, or any department! It was simply a great movie however it wasn't without faults.

I believe that Iron Man was a better movie. It just had a fun factor that was more enjoyable to me while The Dark Knight was more serious and realistic. Iron Man was just a fun movie and had a sense of humor while The Dark Knight just had Michael Caine as the comic relief and even that wasn't very often.

This was more of an adult movie than a shiny movie like Iron Man was. I do believe that The Dark Knight will break a lot of records though! It was really good as I said I just enjoyed Iron Man a little bit more because of the fun factor.
