Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Again!
on December 8, 2008
Posted by: vargavision
Chris Nolan and Christian Bale came back to true form in this sequel to the new, revamped, Batman franchise. Christian Bale does a consistent job on Batman, but his voice for the character has been reduced to almost a growl. It's overdoing it just a bit, but the character comes across non the less. Caesar Romero and Jack Nicholson has brought their creative renditions of the Joker (and BOTH are one of the greatest actors in their own right), but Heath Ledger nailed The Joker right on point. The Joker is not a comic character or some psychopathic clown, but just a person who's totally demented and the dangerous part-The Joker KNOWS it. Heath Ledger's approach was simple and to the point, but Heath made The Joker his own.
The story has many twist and turns as Batman including the cops and criminals, are all caught in The Jokers web of manipulation and deception. No one is spared against The Joker's sadistic cruelty. He creatively uses their strengths and weakness against each other to create a chaotic world for his control and amusement. The story has a tendency to drive the point of how people handle situations in the moment of crisis a little to hard, but it gets the job done.
The composition within the cinematography are fantastic although I would have favored a more edgier, more contrasty lighting as seen in Road to Perdition shot by the late Conrad Hall.
The fact that most of the stunts were shot live as opposed to CG added to the flavor and "realism" in Batman. Heavy CG use would have reduced the impact of the character and the story. The use of the Chicago location couldn't have been more perfect as opposed to the "Cabinet of Dr. Calagari" inspired set design of Tim Burton's Batman.
Over all I give Batman: The Dark Knight a high rating and must see for all fans of Batman and all fans of good crime movies.
I would recommend this to a friend!
