Movie Reviewance: the Dark Knight

We were all thoroughly exhausted as we drove our way to Bintang Plaza. Two hours of badminton did knock the crap outta our bodies but since Batman's in town we thought heck with the soreness. Me, Howard, Jayme and Sie Kai reached there at 6.10 and the scheduled airtime was 6.30. Thought we gonna have no more vacant seats left as it was premier day, we rushed up like mad dogs but as we looked into the screen of the cashier when we were at the counter, there were only around 15 people in the cinema...we were all like...lol...

After realising we had just wasted the pitiful remains of our body energy we dully made our way into Star 1 which was oddly cold, i mean very. Our sitting sequence was like: Jayme, Sie Kai, Howard, me. As u all know before every movie starts there will be trailers for other movies. There was this, scary movie which was like The Ring. The trailer was compelling and scary. Howard then nudged me and asked me to look at what's he's gonna do. And so, Sie Kai was 'mesmerised' by the scariness of the trailer. Howard tapped his shoulder and shouted...I thought I saw Sie Kai's head rise 2 inches. He was so shocked that he fell flat after that. Downed.

So the movie started bla bla bla. This dude, Bruce Wayne, was the Batman, whom they called the masked superhero...or villian...or whatever they call him these days. The other hero was Harvey Dent, the superhero of Gotham because at one point in the movie he caught all the mafias, which was in fact Batman's efforts. Stupid opportunist...but I didn't give a damn about him because there's the Joker. If you didn't know yet, the REAL actor of Joker in the REAL life died in January due to drug overdose or something. After watching this movie, you would say it's not surprising that he died. Joker was crazy...all madness...his sinister plans and his crazy laughing and facial style were...one of a kind :O. And so, we came to this conclusion that the director of this movie, Chris Nolan brought upon the death of actor Heath Ledger. Ok great the director punya name sama like mine again...wtf...anyway RIP Heath...YOU WERE CRAZY IN THE MOVIE DAMN IT...but cool though...we're your fan now. Joker's fan that is.

And so the story unfolded with Joker killing people bla bla bla. Reached to a point where Joker kept Harvey Dent and his fiancee locked in two seperate places filled with explosives and gasoline. Our super duper hero Batman has to make his choice to save one of them and of course being a man his hormones must be growling with machoness and he chose the girl. What a fool, the girl was not pretty at all. This was in fact the downside of the Joker...he called the girl Pretty at one point...and we were all like...!@#??!@##?. Anyway, during the countdown of the detonation, we all had the luxury to watch the iloveyou-imsorry-marrymeplease-loveyoudarling thingy. And so this pitiful couple continued to lame around. Dent even told the girl that BABE, DON'T YOU WORRY THEY ARE COMING FOR YOU and the girl replied YALAH I KNOW SO U GO DIE LA...i mean, I DON'T WANNA LIVE WITHOUT YOU*. She even said yes to his proposal, which was proposed in the early part of the movie. So to all the men out there who wanna propose to their partner, hang on tight for the reply because they might just say yes amongst tons of explosives instead of flowers and beaming smiles. Like the oldie: GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN~. yeah you bet on it. But eventually the address from the Joker on both of them were switched...resulting in Batman saving Dent but not the girl. What were you saying again Dent? Nice move man bravo. Well after that incident Dent became the two-faced bad guy as one side of his face was burnt when the explosives went kaboom.

The fighting scenes were kewl. The BatMobil was fast and furious but damn vulnerable. One hit KO wth...i thought there's backup power of something but no...sekali tio bazooka mampus. But Batman got a new toy named...BatBike? First time I knew he had a bike, ejected from his doomed BatMobil. He also had sonar eyes like real bats, transmitted to him via Mr Fox, his office colleague who mastered the invention of all his equipment. Joker also had cool equipment...poker cards which were so kesi that they deal 0 damage as they are practically harmless. For the two-faced Dent, his 'weapon' was the combination of a coin and gun. Earlier in the movie he said he lived his life on chances with the flip of his stupid coin and he was always lucky, because BOTH SIDES ARE HEADS. What kinda coin is that...no wonder he said he create his own luck...but during the explosion one side of his coin got burnt, so it's either heads or 'tails'. Heads you live...'tails' you die getting shot.

Anyway, the movie was the longest I've seen so far, finished around 9. It was very very cool and you all should really go watch it. I don't wanna spoil it for you all so I'm not gonna continue much. The title of the movie was very nice...instead of the conventional Batman: something something they name it ''the Dark Knight''. The title was so meaningful that it only came out once in the movie...once and the only time: at the ending, last three words of this 2.5 hour movie.
