The Dark Knight

It just seem so easy to get tickets to the Movie "The Dark Knight", not from the cinema ticket counters but from everywhere else... DC's company sold the tickets at $4 each (he bought 3), my company at $3 each (I bought 3 too), other places I heard were selling them for $6. Others got it for free... my sis and colleague KS were among them. Eventually, thanks to KS's arrangements, I got additional 4 tickets for free. DC and I were happy to sell away the excess tickets and watched the free show. :)

We were at BT Frontline Movie Day yesterday with DC and his buddies. The movie was good and up to expectation.

A fan of Batman, DC couldn't stop telling me (during the movie) about who Two-Face was, what will happen next and how different the movie was from the comic. At the end of it, I could tell that he was very satisfied with this movie.

I find it not too bad (afterall, it's not my type of movie) and it's much better than the first one. It's just a pity that:-

1. The Joker Heath Ledger didn't live long enough to see his great performance in the movie.
2. The Batman's childhood friend (Maggie Gyllenhaal) was not the same one. I prefer the previous one (Katie Holmes).
3. The movie was a little too long - 153 mins!
4. We didn't manage to spot Edison Chen in the movie! Knew that he would be making appearance in the movie but didn't expect it to gone in a flash! My eyes must have been fixed on Morgan Freeman that I didn't realise that he was beside!

The follow-up to the action hit “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight” reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in his continuing war on crime.

With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.

Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger (“Brokeback Mountain”) stars as arch-villain The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart plays District Attorney Harvey Dent. Maggie Gyllenhaal joins the cast in the role of Rachel Dawes. Returning from “Batman Begins” are Gary Oldman as Lieutenant Jim Gordon; Oscar winner Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules”) as Alfred; and Oscar winner Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”) as Lucius Fox.
