The Dark Knight Looks Awesome (Updated!)

December 15, 2007 9:22 AM

know I've been doing that thing where I just put up pictures rather than actually write something a lot lately. I figure I'll continue the trend for one more post and then stop. Anyway, the sequel to Batman Begins--which was by far the best Batman movie ever--looks awesome, at least based on the posters. Check these out:

I mean, I think those look awesome. And apparently the trailer is coming out soon and might even be with I Am Legend, which I'm going to go see later today. Sweet.

So, as planned, I saw I Am Legend. Although it's getting mediocre reviews, I thought it was pretty good as far as post-apocalyptic pseudo-horror movies go. It was definitely entertaining, and it did a great job of keeping me on the edge of my seat. Some of the dialog was either extremely forced or very transparent, but there wasn't a lot of that. In fact, I'd have to give Will Smith a lot of credit for his performance, even though the vast majority of the movie consists of him interacting either with just sets or animals. The Fresh Prince did a pretty good job.

And there was a trailer for The Dark Knight, although it was apparently a different one than the one kristin saw. Still, the one we got to see was pretty bad ass. There wasn't too much action, but there was a lot of the Joker. I was initially very skeptical--in fact, I think I was outraged--to hear that Heath Ledger was playing the Clown Prince of Crime, but, based on what I've seen so far, he's doing a pretty good job. Of course, he'd have to turn in an amazing performance to be better than Jack Nicholson. Still, the movie looks like it's in good hands.

If it's not at the movie today, you can watch it online. I did yesterday and it looks awesome.

since there's no imax here, we had to go without a trailer. tears! but it was ok, because i thought the movie was great (ok, until the last maybe 30 minutes). i really admired the way a lot of expository details were given sort of collage style--newspaper clippings on various fridges, posters on buildings etc. and i felt that the staging and will smith's performance conveyed the feeling of being the last human alive SO WELL.

Yeah, I am Legend was great, even with the ending tested especially for you midwestern, always-get-whatever-you-want/sense-of-entitlement-bigger-than-the-Mall-of-America bastards.
