The House of Gordon jumped onto the bandwagon and went to go see the newest installment of the Caped Crusader on Saturday afternoon. Two hours and 32 minutes of a dark ominous film with quite the moving and erratic performance by the late Heath Ledger. Sure, we wondered if the hype concerning his Joker performance was solely based on his untimely death. But really, the effort and immersion he put into the Joker was jaw-dropping. Unsettlingly brilliant.Before we get too far into it however, as always the trailer:
A "hero" who teeters along the edge of superhero and pained vigilante, Batman plunges into painful depths and tortured inner confusion, desolation, and isolation. Chaotic and dark. Rampant and wild. A crazy ride with a Joker who is by far the best (and darkest) of the bunch: no campy 1960s TV Cesar Romero, and leagues more demented that Jack Nicholson in 1989.
A classic.
An easy Full Price rating by the House of Gordon.
