Dark Knight Delivers...

The Dark Knight
The Director:
Simply put, The Dark Knight ROCKS!!! Christopher Nolan delivers a solid rendition of my all time favourite (anti)hero. Nolan has created a reality that has never been so successfully visualized using characters from a comic book. I love it when everything makes sense and has a good and logical foundation. He has stripped the Dark Knight of its circus freak show taint, leaving behind a truly dark and vengeful vigilante who ironically becomes the cure for Gotham's cancer.

The Hero:
Michael Keaton, you suck! Val Kilmer.... you suck too! My God ... George Clooney, you can suck on Robin's Kevlar coated nipple. Christian Bale is the coolest and baddest Batman to date.

The Villain:

The late Heath Ledger gave a stellar performance as The Joker. No disrespect to Jack Nicholson but Ledger tore you apart like a cheap non-laminated China made stack of cards.

The Music:
Hans Zimmer and James Newton. Need i say more?

The Quotes: My favourite ones of course.
Harvey Dent- “Chance is the only reality in this cruel world. Unprejudiced. Unbiased. Fair.”
Harvey Dent- "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
(reminds me of our Mentos .....What ya think?)
The Joker - "This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object."

The Ratings:

Good movie bro... it's a complex script with a lot of nuances, worth a second or even a third viewing to digest the complexities.

The part about the "kaithi" disposing the "vedigoondu" at the "kadaisi baagam" was superb. (Tamil words to prevent spoiling the fun for the rest)
