Now i liked this movie a lot when i first saw it aaaages ago but i recently re-watched it and its gone from being a good movie to a fucking class movie. Its hilarious while at the same time fucking insane. Bale is the fucking nuts as Bateman. Fucking mint!! The fact that i said fucking a lot in this comment shows how enthusiastic i am about this movie.
Not only without doubt the greatest comic book movie of all time quite possibly one of the best films i have ever seen. It simply delivers on every level...a deep and engrossing story that is closer to an epic crime thriller than your usual hero vs villain fare, fantastic dialogue, awesome action and every performance is top notch. Ledger is fucking amazing as the Joker he is funny without resorting to cheap jokes like purple gas and acid shooting flower like from Burtons Batman. Hes a sadistic killer and thats the way i always wanted to see the character portrayed. I honestly cant praise this movie enough...amazing..as a Batman nerd its a dream come true to see a film of this quality.
So faithful to the amazing graphic novel its almost ridiculous, the dialogue, the sets even the framing of the shots was exactly like the novel. Character wise everyone was spot on paticularily The Comedian, Rorshach and Dr Manhattan oh and friggin both Silk Spectre's were hotter than the sun. I was amazed they managed to keep everything about the story intact and every detail was addressed, the slightly altered ending actually worked quite well and almost made more sense so that was fine. Im so glad it wasnt dumbed down and maintained all of the philisophical aspects of the story, too good!
