On The Dark Knight

It has been quite a long time since I wrote in this blog.I have had midterms, work and other crap to attend to.

So anyway, The Dark Knight .... right ...

The Dark Knight is the much anticipated sequel to Chris Nolan' Batman Begins which brought back life to one of the iconic superheroes ever.Christain Bale reprises his role as Batman (no nipples on the suit ) with Heath Ledger as the notorious Joker, Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent, and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Daws and other actors such as Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman reprising their roles from the first movie.

This happens to be one of my most anticipated movies for the year.Not necessarily because I was such a die hard fan of Batman Begins.I like it, dont get me wrong .I thought Christopher Nolan brought depth, and reality to the characters in this saga.

However, I am even more interested in seeing what the late Heath Ledger will create of such aa complex character such as the JOKER. While Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent does not excite me as much , I will have to reserve my judgement until I see the movie.

Now, there is a possibilty, I feel that the very much hyped movie might lose momentum when the movie is released actually OR it will score big .In addition , the hype of the fans and critics may create also a possibilty that in recognition , Heath Ledger might earn a few post mortem nominations;possibly awards (Oscar nomination maybe ; fingers crossed) for best supporting actor, but also that depends on the screen time, ( I dont think of that as a factor, Ruby Dee ;American Gangster) and the depth that he would add to playing such a villain.(Javier Bardem won last year's best supporting for playing cold blooded villain in No Country for Old Men)But, this however is a summer movie and we all know that these movies havent been taken much seriously by the academy.If it would have then Michelle Pfiefer deserved a nod for her Catwoman.

In addition, Warner Brothers havent done a bad job in marketing.Least of all is the viral marketing campaign with the numerous websites online.

May is approaching, and we have to wait and see !
