Batman: The Dark Knight - Preview Mon 14th July - Crown Casino

Batman: The Dark Knight - Preview Mon 14th July - Crown Casino



We went along to the preview to Batman: The Dark Knight at Village in Crown Casino... I had pretty high expectations and to be honest not all of them were met... Most of the plot was pretty predictable, I couldn't stand the way that Batman spoke, in fact I didn't think that Christian Bale was a convincing Batman... The fact is, I was there to see Heath Ledger as the Joker, and he did not disappoint... It probably would have been better had they not focused on so much else and kept the story tight about him and Batman... He was a pleasure to watch, crazy and funny, my kind of bad guy...

Some of the sequences were an absolute delight on the eye (the first one was awesome), and others just a bit too fast, overall it was a very watchable film, but I never recommend sitting in a general admission chair for 2.5 hours... Checked my watch at least 3 times which is usually a sign... Harvey 'Two Face' was a waste of time, they could have cut him out and saved a half hour of my life...

Glad I didn't pay for this, not the sort of movie I would usually want to see, but Heath Ledgers performance made every minute in that chair worthwhile...
