Note : I don’t think this can be classified as a proper review.

So okay, what the hell is dark knight in the first place?

I only know about Batman. And the only thing I know about Batman is his black cape and that he has a companion (that sounds wrong) named Robin. That’s all. I know I’m not knowledgeable. I’m a girl, ok! Ask me about Sailor Moon or Wedding Peach. (Come to think of it, I don’t really remember anymore. Blah.)

Anyway.

So I caught The Dark Knight last night. It was a 9.55 PM show, since my friends had to do some performance practice. So okay we went to the Cathay to see it and.. There was a delay.

I’m still thinking whether I should blame the delay.

Anyway, I almost slept in the last 30 minutes of the film or so. It was an agonizing wait, especially when your bladder is full but you’re stuck in the middle of the row AND the film is not finished yet.

You know when you watch DVD you can press a button to show you how much time is remaining? I had the urge to do that, except that this “DVD” was projected in a huge ass screen and I was sitting in puffy yet uncomfortable “sofa” instead of my home’s sofa.

I didn’t know Batman is a super rich guy. Damn you trust fund babies. A lot of money in hand and still dreaming of saving the world. How heroic. Oh wait. Batman IS heroic. Anyway.

The scenes with the sick Joker (btw, two thumbs up and two toes up for Heath Ledger (RIP)’s acting!) was terribly horrifying. The make up of the half-burnt guy is crazily impressive. Ok insert positive review here. You should have read many positive reviews and I’m too lazy to type more. Maybe I should just plagiarize just like Dawn Yang did.

[subtle spoiler alert]

Neewayz. Up to this second I’m still trying to figure out some weird things I encounter. That joker. How did he manage to plant (and maybe design) bombs and everything? How did he manage to place those bombs at that hospital? Where did his money come from? Thought he burned it. Or is he some other trust fund baby?

And I think the weirdest ever is the last scenes. Gordon’s family? His son was held at gunpoint and threatened that he will die. Of course he didn’t die. Duh. The film won’t be fun, unless that the dying son scene is at the first scenes. That would be a nice opening for a psycho movie. Anyway. Gordon’s son. So he was held at gunpoint. He was so scared, shivering and crying. It just lacks of peeing in the pants. Argh I keep digressing. Anyway. He was held at gunpoint goddammit! Yet after Batman flew (or rather ran) away, he came to his father asking “cheerfully” : “Is he okay, Dad?”. Little brother, you were held at gunpoint! You were gonna die! Your mother and sister were crying coz they were very scared of your well being! You were crying too! And you came to your dad with clean face asking about Batman. Gosh. You’re gonna have a good (internal) conflict management skill, bro.

And this review has come to an abrupt end.

Coz I’m working now dammit!

PS I went back at 1 AM. Dang.
