Went to see the Dark Knight tonight - opening night of course - and it ruled.
Admittedly I had high expectations after Batman Begins and it definitely delivered. Ledger is outstanding as the Joker - doing the whole dark madness thing while still channelling the camp humourous elements of the comic book character. I love the way it didnt really try to give the Joker a back story or to explain him and how he continually chopped and changed the story of how his appearance developed.
The gadgets are awesome again - especially the new Bat-bike whatsit and the stunts Batman pulls off with it.
SPOILER AHEAD
What really grabbed me though was Harvey Dent. I had assumed that his transformation to Two Face would happen towards the end setting it up nicely for a third film. But no no - Two Face dominates the last act and his wince inducing appearance is just incredible and really does take this out of kids film territory.
So check it out - and if you're in Wellington, do what we did and buy your Reading tickets online and print them out!
