My Favorite Movie
Reviewed by tmeyer for The Dark Knight at 2010-08-11 04:26:09
I'm not going to make the argument that The Dark Knight is the greatest movie ever made, but it's closer to that spot than 99.5% of movies are. And it's my favorite movie ever. Why? Many reasons. The Joker is just about the scariest and most iconic villain since Hannibal Lecter and Ledger absolutely blows Nicholson out of the water. I love the realism - Gotham looks and behaves like a real city. The ensemble acting, especially by Ledger, Oldman and Eckhart is tremendous. The action scenes, especially the truck/Batpod chase in middle, are some of the best ever shot. Christopher Nolan is a genius - his tale is complex, striking, iconic and deep. He has taken a blockbuster franchise and made it a towering, Shakespearean drama - he has successfully combined the best of pop entertainment with the best of enduring art.

"And God said, where the hell is Tim?"
Reviewed by TheWordman for Noises Off at 2009-09-21 11:16:50
Let me be clear: This movie isn't for all tastes--it's repetitive and slow in some sections. That being said.. It's awesome and succeeds in cracking me up every single time I watch it! One of the best ensemble casts I've seen in some time, each bringing their own distinctive blend of comedy to the piece. Most of these faces are masters of their craft, or at the very least, had a hand in decent situation comedies (The seasoned vets; Carol Burnett, Denholm Elliot--The familiar faces; John Ritter, Mark Linn-Baker, Marilu Henner-- and the unexpected taking a run at comedy; Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine) Brilliant play within a play farce, and in my humble opinion, each go at trying to do the show with tragically hilarious results makes this film a laugh riot. See it. At least once. You'll thank me (at best.).

Universal Killed Off One Its Biggest Moneymakers
Reviewed by criddic2 for Jaws: The Revenge at 2009-08-24 04:00:36
Michael Caine was filming this when his name was called at the 1987 Oscar telecast. No, really! He couldn't be there to accept his win for "Hannah and Her Sisters," because he was busy making this turkey. It is really bad! Film buffs will love spotting all the obvious goofs and plot holes, though.

Can't Wait For Part 3
Reviewed by bimbothekomodojimbo for The Dark Knight at 2009-04-04 15:24:28
Christopher Nolan is quickly becoming one of my favorite contemporary writer/directors. The first in the newest batman series, Batman Begins blew me away. Nolan managed to take my favorite comic book hero (the only one that has the balls to fight crime without any special powers) and turn out not only an entertaining movie in Batman Begins, but one the preached all of the morals and ethics I believe in. I thought he could do no better, but I was wrong. The Dark Knight really is one of the best films to come out in the last decade, if not longer. The realism in it down to the way the actors deliver lines is incredible. Nolan managed to create a perfectly believable world. On top of that, the hauningness of the Joker as his plan begins to unfold to the audience is overwhelming(particularly in the interrogation scene between he and batman). I'm not neccessarily a movie buff, but I'm a huge movie fan and a man of strong morals and ethics and I believe that the Dark Knight sends a wonderful message. I don't get to the theaters too often (I usually don't have money) but I saw The Dark Knight 5 times in theaters, and more on video. It is one of the best movies I have ever scene, and it never gets old. I strongly recommend it.

Most intense comic book movie ever
Reviewed by mfaerber for The Dark Knight at 2009-02-25 13:16:30
Great film; very intense and dark to be sure. The oft-mentioned great performance by Ledger is certainly merited. Good storyline and effects, with lots of action but tries to not go too much "over the top" with action. Excellent movie that deserves to be held up as a new standard for comic book films (albeit a very dark one).

Four paws on Heath Ledgers performance
Reviewed by littlesam1 for The Dark Knight at 2008-10-21 01:11:56
I liked the movie a lot and would have given it three paws. But just for Heath Ledgers performance alone I had to give it four paws.

Red Herring
Reviewed by shanahan for The Eagle Has Landed at 2008-10-13 17:05:04
This is a rare case of a very misleading plot summary by the Hound. Duval's and Sutherland's characters are secondary at best. This is the story of a German officer (Caine) punished for defying SS officers rounding up Jews, who is offered a chance to redeem himself and his squad by taking on the mission of killing Churchill. It's a good yarn, nowhere near as good as Sturges' best, but deserves and accurate summary.

Will the Real Batman Please Stand Up?
Reviewed by www.BraidedThreads.blogspot.com for The Dark Knight at 2008-08-28 12:08:48
A super-hero movie this good could have been even longer than 2 1/2 hours. Especially if the extra time would have made room for a more noteworthy entrance and exit for the Joker in order to expand his story. There was not much of a story arc for him, but he was equally fascinating to watch from his first moment to his last. "Who let the Joker out of his box?" someone in the film asks. And I wouldn't have minded seeing the box. Christopher Nolan did the same thing with Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul in Batman Begins. Given the overdone origin stories in previous Batman films, Nolan falls off the other side of the horse by giving us crazy people who did not become evil; they just are evil. It is fascinating how the Joker changes his story about the origins of his scars depending on who he is addressing. I was disappointed when Batman didn't let the Joker finish telling that final version. Given the progression of the first two versions of the Joker's tale, there is the hint of a suggestion that the Joker actually afflicted himself with his deformities. As fascinating as Ledger's Joker is to watch, we have no perspective of him as a character. And as awesome as Ledger is, we will never know what it would have been like to watch this role without the actor's death attached to it. But this film is also about someone named "Batman," who is getting short-changed in recent hype about the film. Batman gets an awesome new suit - one that lets him turn his head (so he doesn't have to use sonar to know what is behind him). He gets a new, slightly chubbier mask. His gravelly, THX-enhanced voice remains the same: a bit too death metal (I found his grunting contest with Two-Face almost laughable). Batman is much cooler when he is not trying to explain things. The action set-pieces are amazingly done. The film is short on digital animation. It shows Indiana Jones how shocking and exciting a spectacle like this can be with restrained CGI. The dank, grey, smoky, digital Gotham City from Batman Begins is traded in for a Gotham that is more pristine, brighter, more familiar, more corruptible. The action of this film takes place in realistically conceived space. See the rest of this review at http://braidedthreads.blogspot.com/2008/07/will-real-batman-please-stand-up.html

Lives up to the hype.
Reviewed by SmartChic for The Dark Knight at 2008-08-07 14:08:24
I'll be honest - I was worried that Heath Ledger's death had tainted some of the early reviews - it's hard to diss a dead man. I was greatly relieved when his performance actually made the movie. He was perfect.

Ledger Steals the Show
Reviewed by KHL for The Dark Knight at 2008-08-06 11:41:51
Maybe the best Batman movie ever? Heath Ledger is creepy yet strangely mesmerizing as the Joker, I couldn't wait to see him onscreen again during the film (is he doing a sort of freaked out Bugs Bunny accent? really, I swear, listen to it again!) The Bat cycle is cool, and the rest of the cast and script is great, but Ledger proves why he was so well-regarded, in his last (unfortunately) performance.

A Caine Triumph
Reviewed by shanahan for Sleuth at 2008-06-21 12:53:33
Caine is truly remarkable in this film: he plays as wide a range as one can imagine, and he does it with just enough finesse to make it a joy to watch. Olivier plays - well, Olivier. Vastly overrated as a dramatic actor, we see him play the self-important man he may actually have been. And the plot - okay, no spoilers, but this one twists and turns right up until the last moment. A must-see for anyone who likes detective stories.

Schmoke and a pancake?
Reviewed by PeanutButterJellyTime for Austin Powers In Goldmember at 2008-03-11 16:03:12
Myers pulls off tacky humor (as usual) with 24-karat style in Goldmember, as Austin Powers finds himself fighting crime in the 1970s. Dr. Evil's rap sequence is a highlight of this film, as are the bubbly Beyonce Knowles, and the Dutch villain with a taste for his own crispy gold skin.

How comic book movies should be done
Reviewed by mfaerber for Batman Begins at 2008-03-10 12:55:22
This movie should be the template for any directors trying to make a film based on comic books/superheroes. Forget all about the Tim Burton version (although Jack Nicholson was great) after seeing this one!
