My rating on a 1-10
scale: 7.5
Genre: Superhero,
adventure
Series or set: The
second Batman movie
Primary actors: Christian
Bale, Heath Ledger
Length: Two hours
Based on: The
comic books, I think
Time period: Present
Year it came out: 2008
My overall opinion: You
probably noticed that it didn’t get an exceptionally good rating from me. My
biggest problem with it was how dark and freaky it was. That definitely didn’t
leave me wanting to watch it again, and I DON’T recommend watching it right
before bed – thankfully, I didn’t. However, the graphics were impressive –
really amazing. Someone put a lot of time and work into them! Those were my
primary impressions: freaky movie, great graphics. I doubt I’ll watch it again
in the near future.
Note: Christian Bale is also an interesting Double...FYI, he was Laurie in the 1995 Little Women. The picture second to bottom especially looks like him. ;)
Ooh yes, that does look like Laurie. I don't really like him as Laurie in Little Women...is he any better here?
ReplyDeleteGood review, Charity U! I thought your rating and comments were very fair; my favorite batman actor is Michael Keaton :) Christian Bale does a good job, but the story has lost heart somewhere in all of these sequels and remakes.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos as usual, good job! Blessings!
Haha, I'd seen Christian Bale first in Little Women... gave me a little jolt when I saw him as Batman. ;)
ReplyDeleteBut. That being said? This is my favorite trilogy ever. :)
Much as I enjoyed the first movie... I am skeptical about this one because of those dark, twisted turns.
ReplyDeleteAnaliese, I don't think this would be your kind of movie...at all...and I can say that, being your sister. ;)
ReplyDeleteKara, are there older Batman movies? I should maybe look into those. :)
Angelica, I'm still sad you don't like LOTR better...just saying. Maybe Hobbit will take over. And yeah, it took be a while to figure out who he looked like...such different roles.
Rissi, yeah, I don't recommend this one real highly. Too dark for me, a girl who loves bright and cheerful movies. :)
