The Dark Knight Expectations

by

5

Above you’ll see my ticket for the earliest time I can see the movie that I have been anticipating for 3 years, The Dark Knight. I stare at from time to time just wondering and praying that it will live up to the unrealistic expectations I’ve given it. Not unrealistic to The Dark Knight though, unrealistic to any movie. I look at reviews from my favorite site Rope of Silicon, Dark Knight Movie Review. I look at reviews from Rolling Stones and Rotten Tomatoes, Rolling Stones Review and RT Reviews, and I ask the golden question. Will The Dark Knight live up to all this hype? That has been the golden question through-out this entire month and now I’m finally asking it. 

MY EXPECTATIONS: 

I want to see this movie more then I have ever wanted to see a movie before in my life, no joke. I honestly think that this movie will be top ten material if not top five. Batman Begins was an incredible movie, the best comic book movie by far. I believe this movie will be as good as Batman Begins multiplied by the awesome character that will be the Joker, which will easily be a 10, soooo…

The Dark Knight= Batman Begins x 10

Those are my expectations, will I be satisfied when the clock strikes two and a half hours after 12:01, will I be sad, or will my expectations even be exceeded? Who knows, but what I do know is this…

WHAT I DO KNOW:

I know that and I knew since december of last year that this movie will make more then any other movie this year and I would and would have bet a lot of money on that fact. I know what I would do if this movie was bad. I’ve been asked the question, “What would you do if it sucked?”, about a hundred times and the answer is always the same; “It won’t”, I say jokingly because how could I possibly know that, then I say; “I’d kill myself”, another joke, because my real answer is; “I’d go into a constant state of depression for awhile and have to start looking for a new movie to anticipate.” What I do know at the end of it all is this, I know that I will buy this movie on DVD the day it comes out because I KNOW GOOD MOVIE OR BAD MOVIE, HEATH LEDGER IS GOING TO BE AMAZING AS THE JOKER. 

I lay in my bed every night, looking at the multiple Dark Knight posters I have on my wall, and pray that The Dark Knight will live up to my expectations and yours. I cannot answer this question yet, but I can answer it in 4 days. The second I get home from what I hope to be in my top ten list of greatest movies of all time, I will be on my site writing a review for the long awaited movie of 2008 and I hope and pray that it’s a good one. This being Heath Ledger’s last movie will be the one that he will be remembered for, let us all pray that it is a good memory. I raise my imaginary champagne glass “To Heath”, who will now and forever be very missed. I leave you now with my favorite Dark Knight trailer and TV Spot.

Wanted Review

They could’ve gone in four different directions when it comes to Wanted. They could’ve made it funny with corny action, serious with corny action, funny with serious action, or they could’ve made it an all around serious action movie. Well, they picked the first one and I disagreed with that choice. Wanted has the potential to be a serious action film because it has a decently good plot and story line, which surprised me, but instead you get lame attempts at humor that didn’t even get a smirk out of me and obvious plot twists that I guessed just from watching the trailer. I wouldn’t have even minded the whole bullet curving, or car back flips, etc. if they didn’t try to force incredibly lame and corny jokes at you. From the trailer I knew I was going to see laws of physics broken, but does that mean you can’t be serious with the rest of the movie. Everyone did a decently good job,  but that doesn’t make up for the rest of the movie. At the end of the movie, the main character turns to the audience and asks “What the fuck have you done lately?” and I turned to my friend and said, “I just watched a dumb movie”. I’m not gonna lie to you though, this movie was dumb and deserves a lower grade because this movie could’ve been much better, but I’m gonna have to give this a decent grade because I was very entertained.

Grade: C

The First 5 Minutes of The Dark Knight

Here’s the first five minutes of the Dark Knight. It’s absolutely amazing, but try to resist it, it’ll be better in the theater, but I’m posting it for anyone who doesn’t care. I couldn’t resist and now I watch it daily, It becomes an addiction. It’s pretty bad quality, but it makes up for it by being amazing.

Here’s another video that a viewer told me to look it. It’s kind of funny, kind of cool. Looked like it was hard to make.

Surprisingly, this was a decently entertaining movie. It had a very interesting story that wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Its also not as predictable as it seems. Ben Affleck did a good job for once. He created a good puzzle that the viewer has to put together, but there were some problems in my opinion. I really didn’t relate to or enjoy many of the characters, they were kind of annoying. The only two I liked was Ed Harris’ character and Morgan Freeman’s character, who was only in the movie for about five minutes. Also, and many might disagree with me here, I really didn’t enjoy the ending. Other then that , the movie was good and can be talked about more than many other movies. !!!SPOILER!!! Don’t read ahead if you haven’t seen this movie!!!Why did Casey feel that he could be judge, jury, and executioner by killing this cocaine addict, but when a good family is going to take care of the little girl, he has to call the cops because it’s the right thing. Those parts contradict each other and were poorly written. Grade: B
