Just saw Dark Knight...

I should have studied biology instead. Apart from the one bit with the prisoner on the ferry, I think I would have enjoyed studying more than I enjoyed the movie. It was too long, disjointed, unoriginal, overblown, and Heath Ledger wasn't that great. I'm glad I didn't wait for the theater run and pay money for it. I have no idea what everyone was so excited about.

On the plus side, it's been raining all day, so I got to jump in puddles on the way back to my dorm. So there's that.

I wasn't a fan of the movie, but I did think Ledger did a great job. It was outside of his usual comfort zone, and he was able to portray someone with that kind of serious psychosis really quite well. I believed his character was crazy when I watched him; something I was not able to do with Nicholson's Joker.

The movie itself though... I felt like they tried to cram two movies into one - by cut-and-paste - and I actually felt like the bit with the prisoner on the ferry was very trite. I liked Batman Begins much better.

I saw "Batman Begins," but I wouldn't be able to give you an assessment--I spent the whole movie making out with my then-boyfriend. (My excuse is having been fifteen.)
