Reel Fun-The Dark Knight


The Dark Knight cleared over 155 million it's opening weekend! The largest boxoffice take of any movie in history to date.Everyone in our group gave the new batman flick two thumbs up! Christian Bale may be my favorite caped crusader yet! The action and the special effects in these movies just keeps getting better as do the high-tech crime fighting gear and gadgets. The other big name, Heath Ledger, did a brilliant job as The Joker. He was truly scary, deranged, and extremely sinister. Heath was perfect for this part-sadly, his last. I would not be surprised if he won an academy award posthumously. As always, you just have to love Michael Caine as Alfred and Morgan Freeman his usual superb job as the gadget guru. Maggie Gyllenhall was, of course, adorable as ever! The movie is long, two and a half hours, so hit the head first cuz you aren't going to want to miss a minute of this one! Unfortunately, Christian Bale did run into a legal snafu today involving a domestic assault with his mother and sister which he claims to be innocent of. It remains to be seen if this will affect public opinion or the continued patronage of the film. The movie though is awesome! A great fantasy escape for a couple hours. I was nervous the entire time!
