(Plus a trailer for Watchmen, about which I'm still a little nervous but very, very excited--it looks good.) The movie is amazing; it has fighting and explosions and action and suspense, but it also wants you to think about morals and choices and duality. It's satisfying for its sheer entertainment value and on a more intellectual level. I made the (nerdy, pretentious, show-offy) comment to someone else that they could have called it "Batman: Whoever Fights Monsters" for the way it shows the fine line that has to be walked by people who come close enough to evil to fight it. Which isn't exactly a new theme in the world of superhero stories, but it's done very well here. And Heath Ledger's as good as they say. <BR/>Just, wow. I thought with my high expectations I might be disappointed, but this movie is fucking awesome.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13685649620726123920noreply@blogger.com
