hollybrookeGee, I choose the movies I appear in well, don't I?!
It's hard to put the amazingness of The Dark Knight into words. But I'm going to try to put my thoughts down the best way possible.
Okay....a lot of this movie rode on the Heath Ledger hype, in my personal opinion. But the hype was well-deserved. Heath threw himself into his role as the Joker, and it showed. Excellent performance on his behalf, and he will be sorely missed.
Maggie Gyllenhaal certainly did a better job than Katie Holmes did. And we won't have to worry about recasting Rachel Dawes if there's a third one because Rachel dies in this one.
But here's my big thing about The Dark Knight. Now I explained how a lot of this movie rode on the Heath Legder hype. HOWEVER....and I know there are some people who agree with me on this....I think Aaron Eckhart's portrayal of Harvey Dent/Two-Face truly stole the show. We've all paid Heath his dues, now let's give Aaron a well-deserved round of applause. (And for being so quiet about it). Maybe I'm biased because I've got a soft spot for a character like Harvey Dent, and Two-Face is my favorite Batman villain, but that's how I feel about it.
And YES, I do believe I saw the back of my head in the big chaotic crowd scene after the assassination attempt. And I had no idea they were filming stuff behind me, because that was clearly Lt. Gordon walking behind me and a couple of others. *EEEEEEEEEE!* GARY OLDMAN!!!!
ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR--OF ALL TIME, MAYBE--AND I'M IN IT!!!!!!!!
